Hooked AI

Hooked is an AI-powered video automation platform designed to transform text, scripts, and URLs into short-form videos for social media. It caters to content creators, social media managers, and ecommerce brands by automating the entire video creation process—from script generation to final export. The platform offers a range of video styles, including UGC-style ads, AI avatar slideshows, TikTok slideshows, and gameplay videos, all created without manual editing. By analyzing viral trends across platforms, Hooked helps users discover current hooks and formats, then generates videos with AI-driven visuals, voiceovers in multiple languages, captions, and music automatically. Users can directly publish or schedule content to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other channels.

The platform positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to hiring human creators, claiming to be up to 8 times cheaper while enabling rapid video production. It leverages AI models hosted on its own infrastructure to produce scroll-stopping short videos in minutes. Key workflow steps include getting inspired by real-time viral trend analysis, generating scripts using over 500 proven hook templates, automatically assembling videos with avatars and stock footage, then exporting in standard formats like 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1. With over 20,000 users claimed, Hooked emphasizes ease of use and time savings, making it suitable for those without video editing experience.

While the platform appears to offer a free tier ("no credit card required" for starting), exact pricing details are not publicly disclosed without contacting the company. Paid plans likely unlock higher quality exports, more features, and removal of any watermarks, but this should be verified directly. The tool's reliance on AI-generated content means output quality can vary depending on the input script and selected models, and users may need to refine results for specific brand guidelines.
