How it works

The generator applies 7 hook formulas to your topic:

  1. Payoff-first, show the result, then the method.
  2. Contradiction, open by directly contradicting common wisdom.
  3. Number-anchored, promise N specific things.
  4. Pattern-interrupt, visual or claim that breaks expectation.
  5. Cliffhanger, incomplete statement that demands resolution.
  6. Stake-of-the-test, uncertain outcome with stakes.
  7. Beat-locked punch, cut/effect on first downbeat at t≈0.8s.

FAQ

How does the Cutflux hook generator work?

It applies 7 proven hook formulas (payoff-first, contradiction, number-anchored, pattern-interrupt, cliffhanger, stake-of-the-test, beat-locked-punch) to whatever topic you type and outputs 7 different opening hooks, one per formula.

Is the hook generator free?

Yes. No login, no signup, no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser, no API calls, no server processing.

Can I share my generated hooks?

Yes. The generator encodes your topic into the URL so you can share the link and the recipient sees the same hooks. There's also a copy button on every hook plus a "Copy all 7" button.

How do I know which hook to use?

If you're new to short-form: start with payoff-first. It works in nearly every niche and is the hardest to mess up. After you've tested a few, A/B test variants of your strongest performer.

Does the generator use AI?

No, it's a deterministic template engine. The 7 formulas are well-studied and the template fills your topic into each one. This is intentional: no API cost, no AI lag, no quota.
