HookLab AI writes the first line of your videos. The one that decides whether people keep watching or scroll past. Type your topic, pick a platform and a style, and you get ten hooks in a few seconds. They show up one by one as they are written, so you can start reading right away. I built HookLab for one simple reason: that first sentence takes more time than the rest of the video put together. If that sounds familiar, this is for you. WHAT YOU GET Ten hook styles that actually work on short video: curiosity, contrarian, call-out, transformation, urgency, secret, list, story, statistic and question. Pick one or let the app choose the best mix. Hooks adapted to the platform. A TikTok opener and a LinkedIn opener are not the same thing, so the tone and structure change with the platform you choose: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X or LinkedIn. Full scripts. Take any hook and turn it into a 30 or 60 second script you can record right away, with the timing for each part. Pro Pack feature. Refine. Not quite right? Make a hook shorter, punchier, more emotional, add a number, simplify it or rewrite it in another style. Three variants, one tap. Five video ideas. Not sure what to film? Type a topic and get five different videos, each with its own angle, the line that opens it and how to shoot it. A strength score on every hook, with the reason in one line, so you can see at a glance which one to film first. It rates the writing, it does not pretend to predict views. Rate my hook. Already wrote your opening line? Paste it and get an honest score out of 100, what already works, what to fix, and three rewrites that apply the fixes. Share from TikTok or YouTube. Found a video whose opening you want to improve? Share it to HookLab: its caption lands in Rate my hook, ready to score. Instagram does not share captions, so there you type the line yourself. On iPhone, iPad and Mac. On a big screen your settings stay on the left and your hooks fill the right, two by two. Five languages. Write hooks and scripts in English, French, Spanish, German or Brazilian Portuguese, whatever language your phone is in. A library of more than 200 hooks in your language, sorted by niche (fitness, money, productivity, parenting, studies, gaming and more), in a new order every day, plus new hooks every week written from what people are talking about right now. A "Hook of the day" widget for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, plus a Siri shortcut. Everything you save stays on your device, synced with your own iCloud if you want. PRICING Free: 3 generations a day (hooks, video ideas, ratings or refinements), 5 styles, the full library. Pro Pack: 100 generations a day, all 10 styles, full scripts, a stronger AI model. One payment. Pro+ Pack: everything in Pro, 200 generations a day, daily trending topics and bulk export. One payment. There is no subscription and there will not be one. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. If it is not for you, Apple refunds purchases within 14 days. Hooks and scripts are generated with Claude, the AI model made by Anthropic. HookLab AI is an independent app, not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X or LinkedIn.

About

Your weekly plan of videos to film for TikTok and Reels. Once you post, AIna reads your analytics and tells you what to change for next week. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who makes short-form video and is tired of deciding what to post. Beauty, study, fitness, food, comedy, whatever you already make. Your first video or your five-hundredth. NOT A CHATBOT Anyone can ask a chatbot for video ideas. It will forget you by morning. AIna doesn't: • It knows your Creator DNA (your archetype, your three themes, your voice) and builds every plan on it • It remembers what you already filmed, so this week is not last week wearing a new title • Tell it once that you won't show your face or use your voice, and no brief ever asks again • It reads the analytics of what you posted, and one tap puts its answer in next week's plan • It counts the weeks you actually filmed, so showing up is something you can see • The wall: what people on AIna are actually making, with the manager's one line on each, under their Creator DNA, never a name • A note from your manager every morning, and the numbers asked for two days after you post START WITH WHO YOU ARE A short conversation about what you're into, how much of yourself you want in the frame (your face, your voice, or neither), and how much time you actually have. AIna turns it into your Creator DNA: your archetype, three content themes that are really yours, and your voice. Every plan is built on that card. A REAL PLAN, EVERY WEEK Two to five video briefs a week, as many as the time you said you actually have. Each one has a title, an opening line, the format, the steps, and why this video fits you specifically. Check them off as you film. Nothing to invent at 11pm. FACELESS IS NOT A LESSER PLAN Don't want to be on camera? Don't want to be heard either? Say so once and every brief respects it: hands, objects, text on screen, a board laid out to be saved rather than watched. Those formats genuinely work, and AIna plans around them properly. A MANAGER IN YOUR POCKET Message your manager the way you'd text a friend who happens to run your channel. "20 minutes and no energy, what do I film?" You'll get an answer you can use tonight. HONEST FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU POSTED Screenshot your analytics and AIna reads them with you: what the numbers say, what worked, the one thing to fix, and what to film next. Not sure about a video before it goes up? Send the video itself and get notes while you can still change it. SUNDAY LETTERS AND STREAKS Every Sunday, a short letter about the week you actually had. Your streak counts the weeks you filmed, and a "life happened" week protects it instead of breaking it. TRENDS, TIMED FOR YOU AIna follows what's rising in your country and folds it into your plan only when it fits what you already make. No chasing. FREE Your Creator DNA card, one plan every week, and the coach every week: one reading of a posted video's numbers and one look at a video before it goes out, both back every Monday. Plus 6 chat messages and 2 ideas from your pocket a month, and your Sunday letter. AINA PRO • The analytics coach, without counting the weeks: 24 screenshot reviews and 12 before-you-post video reviews a month • 40 chat messages a month • Swap a single video 5 times a month, or replan a whole week twice a month • 30 pocket ideas a month AIna doesn't film for you, doesn't post for you, and will never promise you followers. It gives you a plan, an opinion, and someone who noticed you showed up. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
