Short-video hook analyzer

Tells creators why their first three seconds lose viewers

Problem

Creators constantly ask whether a video's opening works, yet most can't articulate what makes a hook good and rely on gut feel. Someone built a small Claude Code tool for this and found many creators willing to pay to check their hooks, showing the need is real and widespread.

Solution

Upload a video or paste a link; extract the first few seconds of visuals, captions and speech; flag moments likely to cause scroll-away; then give concrete rewrite suggestions and alternative hook styles. Output is a clear score and edit list, not generic creator advice.

Users

Solo creators, social media agencies, small-business social managers, freelancers who review content for clients

MVP

Upload/link import and clip extraction; caption OCR and speech transcription; multi-dimension scoring (hook strength, info density, visual retention); concrete rewrite suggestions; a shareable result page

Revenue

Pay-per-check plus a creator subscription; multi-seat and bulk-check packages for agencies

Why now

Short-video competition is fierce and creators pay for retention; multimodal models make automated hook analysis cheap enough for a solo builder
