Hook

The workspace

Where your category gets mapped, scored and turned into a playbook.

The feed

Every video your category posts, ranked the way you'd rank them.

Wire in your competitors and creators once; Hook watches every video they post on Instagram and TikTok. One filter separates reach that was earned from reach that was bought: All, Organic, Boosted, Sponsored.

The boost-check

Watch a 240× “hit” get re-scored to 64×.

Every breakout is checked against the Meta Ad Library before it makes your ranking. Paid reach is stripped out, disclosed collabs are weighted separately, and the number that survives is the true score: what the video earned on its own.

Brand profiles

Every brand on your watchlist becomes a playbook.

Open a profile for four tabs: Performance, Creative Breakdown, Creative Blueprint, and Ads. The blueprint is the strategy doc Hook writes from a brand's videos, and it's what grounds Hook Brain's answers.

Questions, answered.

No. Most teams ask Hook from Slack or from Claude over MCP day to day. The workspace is where you set up ecosystems, read full analyses, and go deep on a brand.
