AI hook generator for the 2 seconds that decide everything
Question hooks, bold claims, pattern interrupts, curiosity gaps, and social proof openers, generated in your brand voice for ads, reels, and posts. Because nothing after the hook matters if the hook fails.
Free to start. No credit card.
How it works
Set your brand up once. Every generation after that is seconds.
Brief in one line
What is the content about, and where will it run? That plus your stored brand profile is all the generator needs.
Choose a hook style
Let it run the full spread of hook types, or lock it to the styles your audience responds to.
Test the set
Take the batch into your ads or videos, and use Copy Machine's analytics to see which hook types perform.
Why generic AI copy fails here
Copy Machine grounds every generation in your brand voice, website, products, and past copy. That changes what comes out.
βYour content is good but nobody stops scrolling to see it
The generator specializes in the first line. Ten distinct hook types, each engineered to interrupt the scroll, matched to your audience's actual pains and desires from your brand profile.
βEvery hook you write starts with 'Did you know' or 'Stop doing X'
Hook diversity is enforced per batch: no two hooks in a set use the same pattern. You get a question, a stat, a contrarian take, a story opener, and a bold claim, not five questions.
βHooks that work for viral accounts feel wrong for your brand
Every hook passes through your brand voice and banned phrase rules. A B2B fintech gets sharp but credible openers. A streetwear brand gets attitude. Same tool, your rules.
βTikTok, Reels, and Meta ads punish slow openings differently
Set the context and the hook adapts: spoken-word hooks for video that land in 2 seconds, text hooks for feed ads that survive truncation, first lines for posts that earn the expand click.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from ChatGPT for hooks?
ChatGPT converges on the same few tired openers and has no idea who your audience is. Copy Machine enforces pattern diversity across every batch, writes from your stored buyer personas, and filters output through your brand voice. It also tags hook types in your history so you can see which patterns actually perform for you.
Do I need to write prompts?
No. A one-line topic plus two dropdowns (context and hook style) is the whole input. The pattern variety and persona grounding are automatic.
Do the hooks work for video as well as written posts?
Yes. Video mode writes hooks to be spoken aloud and to land within the first 2 seconds, which is where TikTok and Reels lose half their viewers. Written mode optimizes for feed truncation points instead.
How much does it cost?
There is a free plan with 25 generations a month and no credit card required. The Hooks generator is part of the paid plans, starting at $19/month with a free trial included.
