you name the subject
in plain words. if the brief is too vague to spend credits on, it asks you one question first.
I need hooks about short term rental taxes
hookdetector
name a subject. we read what real TikToks and reels actually say, and bring back the opening lines that earned their views, with the reason each one spread.

the pipeline
how it works
five steps, about two minutes. it would rather hand you fewer hooks that really worked than pad the deck.
we search both platforms
Instagram popular search first, then TikTok keyword and top results. only clips that carry a real view count make the pool.

we read what each clip says
the spoken transcript and the text burned onto the screen. a judge keeps what is on topic, on real evidence, not on the caption.

you get the openers that worked
verbatim, never rewritten. a clip with no words gets no hook rather than an invented one.

you swipe, keep what fits
one hook per card, the clip playing on it, and why it spread. keep or pass on each and you end with your own set.
“THIS IS CALLED THE AUGUSTA RULE”
the surprising promise of renting your home to yourself, anchored by the specific number 14.
on every card
everything you need to reuse it.
the hook
the exact opening line, as spoken or shown. never rewritten.
best line
the most quotable line anywhere in the clip.
main idea
one sentence on what the clip argues.
why it travelled
the specific device that made it spread.
topic
three to six words naming the narrow subject.
on-screen text
what is burned into the video, every slide of a photo post in order.
full script
the whole spoken transcript, when the clip has speech.
the clip
the real TikTok or reel, playing on the card. you never leave.
what it costs
pay for what it finds.
one credit is one call to the data provider. every run quotes its ceiling up front and charges only what it used.
500 free
no card, no form.
a new account starts with 500 credits. a run of ten hooks costs about 60 to 90. asking again about the same subject costs about a third, because the clips are already paid for. a failed run costs nothing.
what it does not claim.
no view prediction. no invented hooks. no padding a short deck. every clip on a card is real and links to the original, and a card says so when a clip sits under 50,000 views.
