HookCraft AI

Viral video hooks & short-form script studio for creators

What it does

Generate high-retention viral hooks and director-cut scripts for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels in 5 seconds.

Generate 95%+ retention video hooks and full director-cut scripts for TikTok, YouTube Shorts & Reels in 5 seconds.

Generate psychological hooks that stop the scroll , skyrocket audience retention, and turn TikTok, Shorts, and Reels viewers into paying customers. Select a winning hook to automatically generate the full production cut list. TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram algorithms immediately punish videos where viewers swipe away within the first two seconds. Psychologically engineered hooks trigger open loops in the viewer's brain, making it almost impossible to scroll away. Not just generic copy: you get exact second-by-second cues (A-Roll, B-Roll, sound effects, and on-screen text animations). Every script ends with a natural, high-converting Call-to-Action designed to convert casual viewers into…from hookcraft-ai-helper.netlify.app

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
