You know that frustrating moment when you're staring at a blank screen, desperately trying to craft a TikTok hook that actually stops the scroll? Most creators waste hours second-guessing their opening lines, only to watch their videos disappear into the void with single-digit views. The problem isn't your content, it's that you're missing the storytelling framework that turns casual scrollers into captivated viewers.
This collection of 12 battle-tested AI prompts transforms your hook-writing struggle into a systematic content creation machine. From curiosity cliffhangers and emotional sensory triggers to shock-and-solve product demos and compressed true story formats, each prompt comes with specific instructions, realistic examples, and suggested AI tools that deliver results. Instead of gambling with generic opening lines, you'll have a proven toolkit that consistently generates scroll-stopping hooks designed for maximum retention, engagement, and viral potential.
1
Curiosity Cliffhanger Hooks (3–5s)
Write 6 TikTok hook lines (3–5 seconds each) that end on a cliffhanger and trigger immediate watch-through. For each hook include: (1) on-screen text (max 6 words), (2) a one-line caption idea that complements the hook, and (3) the ideal music mood (e.g., suspenseful, upbeat). Keep tone punchy and first-person where possible.
Generate 6 short, 3–5 second hook lines that end on a cliffhanger and create urgent curiosity. Include on-screen text and a one-line caption idea.
2
3-Beat Micro-Story Hook (Setup–Conflict–Tease)
Produce 4 TikTok opening hooks structured as a 3-beat micro-story (setup → conflict → tease). For each provide: a 7–12 second script (what the creator says), suggested B-roll or cutaway shots for each beat, and a cliffhanger line to end the hook.
Create short hooks that follow a micro-story arc with clear beats to guarantee retention and a tease for the payoff.
3
Before/After Transformation Hook
Create 5 TikTok hook scripts (6–10 seconds) that open with a 'before' pain point and promise a dramatic 'after.' For each: provide on-screen split frames, suggested transition (wipe/zoom/freeze), exact text overlays for before and after, and an immediate CTA to watch the reveal.
Prompt generates split-second opening that shows problem then promises dramatic transformation, including visual shot list and timing.
4
Relatable Problem + Surprising Fix
Write 6 hook variants that open with a relatable problem statement (1–2 sentences), then immediately present a surprising, counterintuitive solution teaser. Provide suggested POV camera angles and a 3-word on-screen prompt to increase saves/shares.
Craft hooks that begin with a deeply relatable problem then introduce an unexpected solution to retain viewers.
5
Character-Driven Skit Hook (Skit Script + Angles)
Create three 15–30 second character-driven skit hooks. For each deliver: (1) 8–12 line script with stage directions, (2) two camera angle suggestions, (3) a 3–4 second hook line to use as the opening caption, and (4) a micro-arc (funny twist/punchline).
Generate a short character-based skit opening that hooks viewers with personality and conflict; includes camera/line directions for 15–30s videos.
6
Data-Backed Shock Hook with Visual Stat Reveal
Generate 4 hook scripts that start with a hard-hitting stat (format the stat), include an immediate one-sentence implication, and give animation instructions for revealing the number (count-up, bold pop, progress bar). Also suggest an on-screen citation style (source shortform).
Create hooks that open with a surprising statistic to establish credibility and curiosity, plus instructions for animating the stat.
7
Emotional Sensory Hook (evoke feeling fast)
Produce 5 emotional hooks that rely on sensory language (smell, sound, touch) and personal stakes. For each: include a 10-second spoken script, suggested ambient sound or layered audio, and two color grading suggestions to match mood.
Design hooks that use sensory detail to trigger emotions quickly—useful for heartfelt stories or activism content.
