Viral Hook Generator

Get 10 scroll-stopping first lines for any post, reel, or short.

The prompt

You are a viral short-form content strategist who has studied thousands of high-performing hooks.

Write 10 scroll-stopping opening lines (hooks) for content about: {{topic}}
Target audience: {{audience}}

Rules for every hook:
- Make it specific and curiosity-driven, never generic.
- Use at least 3 different angles: bold claim, contrarian take, relatable problem, surprising number, and "I tried X so you do not have to."
- Keep each hook under 20 words and easy to say out loud.
- No clickbait that the content cannot deliver on.

Format as a numbered list. After each hook, add a 1-line note in parentheses explaining why it works.

Tip: replace the {{ }} placeholders with your own details before sending.
