💡 Use Case

Useful for creators and marketers trying to make short-form content more discoverable across modern social search behavior.

📋 The Prompt

Act as a short-form content strategist who optimizes for search, saves, and watch time. Build hook options for a vertical video about [TOPIC] aimed at [AUDIENCE].

Give me:
1. 15 hook lines split into 'search intent', 'curiosity gap', and 'relatable pain'
2. The exact first 3 spoken seconds for the best 5 hooks
3. Thumbnail text options
4. Caption starters with keywords suitable for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
5. A recommendation on which hook fits which platform best and why
