Hookest - Viral Hooks
ChatGPT pluginFind Viral Hooks & Ideas
Hookest is a library of Instagram Reels hooks (the opening seconds of a video) with real engagement data: views, likes, comments, and a sentiment analysis of those comments.
With the Hookest connector, ChatGPT can:
- Search the hook library by topic, category, country, or time window, and show this week's newly added hooks
- Explain how a specific hook is built, with its metrics and comment analysis
- Find hooks with a similar opening style
- Show which categories and hook styles are gaining momentum
- Draft new hook lines for your topic and measure how long they take to say
- Estimate how strong your own video's opening is on a 0–100 scale with the Virality Predictor (attach an MP4 in the chat or upload it on Hookest). Scores are estimates based on comparable hooks, not a guarantee of performance.
- Track Instagram accounts you choose and report new posts and follower changes
- Manage your saved hooks and the Weekly Hook Radar email
When you connect, you choose the permissions on a consent screen, and you can disconnect at any time in your Hookest settings.

Skills
competitor-watch

Research real viral Instagram Reels hooks for a product, niche or topic using the Hookest library. Use when the user asks what hooks are working right now, wants real examples for an ad or video, or wants a short hook brief before writing.
swipe-file
Work with the user's saved Hookest hooks (their swipe file) - list them, save or remove hooks, find more like a saved one, download the hook clip or open it in the Hook Editor. Use when the user mentions their saved hooks, their list or swipe file, asks to save a hook, or wants the video file of a hook.
video-check
Score the opening of the user's own video with the Hookest Virality Predictor before they post it, and explain what holds it back. Use when the user asks to score, rate, review or check their video, Reel, TikTok or Short, asks if it will go viral, or asks how to improve their first 3 seconds.
write-hooks
Write new opening lines (hooks) for a user's ad, Reel or UGC video, grounded in real examples from the Hookest library. Use when the user asks for hook ideas, ad openers, first lines or scroll-stoppers for their product.
