Guide: how to use Hook Generator

Retention graphs on almost every channel show the same shape: a sharp drop in the first 8–15 seconds, then a slow decline. The size of that first drop is the single biggest lever on average view duration, and it is decided by the hook. The Hook Generator produces ten opening lines across five styles, with a predicted hold rate for each, delivery notes on pacing and camera, and a simple test plan.
