Hookova

Hookova is an AI-powered hook analyzer for short-form video. Paste a TikTok, YouTube Short or Instagram Reel link and Hookova breaks it down second by second into a shot-by-shot storyboard, usually within 1–2 minutes. Each report shows how the video is built: 10+ shots per analysis with framing and camera tags, the narrative hook that stops the scroll, and a reproduction recipe for every shot so you can recreate the structure with your own footage. Pro users also get sub-frame detection in long takes. Beyond analysis, Hookova includes a Saves board that auto-summarizes and categorizes the videos you bookmark, timestamped transcripts for clips up to 3 minutes, a Chrome extension for one-click saving, storyboard export as shareable shot lists, and an MCP server so you can run analyses from AI assistant clients. Hookova is built for content creators, faceless channels, UGC creators, educators, filmmakers and video agencies who want to understand why a Short works instead of guessing. Free plan available, no credit card required.

The platform targets both casual and professional video creators, making it easier to plan and execute productions.
