Detailed instructions

1. Type your core idea or point into the 'Your Core Idea or Point' field — make it a single, opinionated sentence.
2. Set the 'Number of Variations' to five for a balanced range, or higher if you want more angles to compare.
3. Click Generate and read through all variations before settling on a favourite.
4. Copy the hook that best fits your platform's tone and paste it as your post or article opener.
5. If none feel right, refine your idea to be more specific or add a contrast, then generate again.

Use Cases

• •Testing five different LinkedIn hook styles for the same post before publishing
• •Generating newsletter subject line candidates from one punchy thesis sentence
• •Finding a counterintuitive angle on a familiar point for a Substack opener
• •Unblocking a Twitter thread when you know the idea but not the first line
• •Repurposing a blog post's core argument into platform-specific social hooks

Tips

• →Input ideas with a built-in tension or contradiction — they generate the most varied and punchy hook angles.
• →Run the same idea twice with different variation counts; the additional hooks often explore formats the first run skipped.
• →Pair a question-style hook with a declarative hook from the same batch and A/B test them on the same content.
• →For newsletters, look for variations that reference a specific outcome or number — those consistently improve open rates.
• →Avoid inputs that are too abstract ('mindset matters') — ground the idea in a specific context for sharper output.
• →Save your favourite hook variations in a swipe file; patterns across successful ones will reveal your strongest writing style.
