Frequently asked questions
What does the viral hook extractor do?+
You paste a transcript (100 to 30,000 characters) and an AI model identifies the 5 strongest moments for short-form clips. Each hook comes with the original quote, a rewritten hook line, hook type (curiosity, shock, contrarian, and so on), a suggested caption, B-roll prompt ideas, a recommended clip length, and the platforms it fits best.
Where do I get a YouTube transcript?+
On any YouTube video, open the description and click "Show transcript", then copy the text and paste it here. Transcripts between roughly 500 and 5,000 words give the best results — very short transcripts do not give the tool enough material to rank hooks against each other.
What does the viral score mean?+
It is the AI's relative judgment of how strong each hook is compared to the others in your transcript — not a prediction of views. No tool can guarantee a clip goes viral; distribution depends on your account, timing, editing, and the platform algorithm. Use the score to prioritize which clips to cut first.
Is my transcript sent to a server?+
Yes. The transcript is sent to our server and analyzed by an AI model to extract and rank the hooks. Avoid pasting content you are not comfortable processing this way.
Can I use it for podcasts or webinars?+
Yes. Although it is designed around YouTube transcripts, any long-form spoken content works — podcast transcripts, webinar recordings, interviews, or livestream captions. Adding your niche in the optional field helps tune hook selection for your audience.
Is the tool free?+
Yes, it is free to use with no signup required.
