Video Hook Analyzer
Analyze your hook before you post.
A hook is the first few seconds of your video — the part that decides whether someone keeps watching or scrolls past. UnskipAI scores your hook's clarity, speed and curiosity, then rewrites it three ways.

What UnskipAI analyzes
Clarity
Whether the opening line or shot is understandable instantly, with no setup needed.
Speed
How fast the hook gets to the point, versus warming up before it.
Curiosity
Whether it opens a question the viewer wants answered.
Payoff timing
Whether what's promised in the hook actually pays off, and how soon.
Context
Deliberate slow builds, deadpan delivery or irony are read as style, not scored as slow.
What the hook score means
The hook score reflects how the opening is likely to land, based on clarity, pacing and curiosity — it's an estimate, not a guarantee that more people will watch. UnskipAI never promises virality.
