As a creator, I’ve realized the hardest part isn’t ideas — it’s the hook or the first 5 seconds.
Posted by on November 4, 2025 at 2:02 pmLately, I’ve been creating short videos for some personal and college projects. One thing that stands out is how unpredictable attention has become.
You can have a solid idea, great visuals, and a perfect edit, but if the hook, the first 3 to 5 seconds doesn’t grab attention, the video fails before it even starts.
I’ve rewritten intros countless times, and it still feels like guesswork, especially since each platform rewards a somewhat different tone. That frustration made me wonder: what if there was a way to test and improve your hook before posting?
So, taking use of my computer science background, I’ve been working on a tool to help creators do just that. It’s designed to:
– Give a Hook Score (0 to 100) based on engagement potential specific to each platform.
– Suggest rewrites optimized for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Reels, and Shorts to maximize the chances of going viral and being engaged.
– Pull trending keywords and headlines in real time to keep your hook relevant.
– Show a clear before-and-after comparison of your intro.Right now, I’m just validating the idea and gathering feedback before fully developing it.
If this sounds like something that could help you as a creator or marketer, I’d love for you to join the early waitlist and share your thoughts.
Would you actually use something like this, or do you prefer trusting your instincts when writing hooks?
