Hookest tracks the opening seconds of viral TikToks, Reels, and Shorts and makes them searchable with real performance data. Study what’s working in your niche, watch competitors, and bring saved hooks into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini through MCP.
We built Hookest to make it easier for creators and marketers to discover viral hooks and understand what makes people stop scrolling. Instead of spending hours searching for inspiration, Hookest brings high-performing content and real insights into one place.
You can explore viral hooks across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, understand why content works, spot emerging trends, and track competitors’ Instagram accounts to get notified when their content starts taking off.
Hookest also connects with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini through MCP, so you can explore and analyze viral content directly from the AI tools you already use.
We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like us to build next! 🚀
Nice to see this one go live, Zeynep, congrats. Does the hook library work for smaller niches like Mac apps, or is it mostly built around the big consumer topics?
@protsenkoalexandra Thanks, Alexandra! 😊 It works for smaller niches too. You can search and explore hooks across different categories, so you’re not limited to just broad consumer topics. The amount of content can vary depending on how niche the topic is, but we’re continuously expanding the library. 🙌
@kate_ramakaieva Thanks so much, Kate! 😊 LinkedIn Shorts isn’t available yet, but it’s definitely something we’re considering as we expand Hookest to more platforms. Really appreciate the suggestion! 🙌
