Hook generator
Tell it what your video is about and get 10 opening lines that make people stay past the first second.
What is a hook generator?
A hook generator writes the first line of a short video: the sentence the narrator says first, which decides whether a viewer stays. Clip-Short's writes 10 openers of at most 15 words for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, of different kinds: a question, a surprising fact, a bold claim, the start of a story, a warning, a number.

Questions
How does the hook generator work?
It sends your topic to Google's Gemini Flash-Lite model with rules for hooks: 10 different openers of at most 15 words, never promising what the video cannot deliver and never inventing statistics; a hook that states a fact must use a well-known one.
What makes a good hook?
One the rest of the video keeps. A hook that promises what the video does not show makes viewers leave a few seconds later, which is why this one is told never to do that.
Is the hook generator free?
Yes. It is free and needs no sign-in, no account and no card. Clip-Short pays for every answer, which is why there is a limit an hour.
How many times can I use the hook generator?
Up to 12 answers an hour from one internet connection, counted across all eight of Clip-Short's free generators together, and 3,000 a day for all visitors. Past either limit the page says so: try again in the next hour, or the next day.
Which languages does the hook generator write in?
English, Spanish, Portuguese, Egyptian Arabic, French and German. It writes in the language of the page you use it on, so open the page in another language to get answers in it.
Who owns what the hook generator writes?
The text is yours to use. Check a name against existing channels and trademarks before you use it.
Does the hook generator post anything for me?
No. It only shows text on this page: nothing is posted and nothing is saved to an account. To write the answer, your topic goes to Google's Gemini model; our logs keep only which generator was used, the language and the length of the topic, not the topic itself.
Can I make a video from the answer?
Yes, with Clip-Short's AI Agent: "Turn into a video" opens it with the text filled in. AI Agent videos are not part of the free plan: they come in a pack of 3 Pro videos for US$5.99, paid once, or with Pro at US$19 a month (some countries see a local price). The free plan gives 60 minutes a month of AI Clipping, Auto Caption and Reframe, with a small watermark.
