Your Built Prompt

Updates live as you type
Write 5 hook options for the opening 8 seconds of my YouTube video.

Video topic + angle: {{topic_angle}}
Target viewer: {{viewer}}
Their main pain or curiosity: {{pain_or_curiosity}}
What I deliver in the video (1 line, no spoilers): {{payoff}}
Channel vibe in 3 words: {{vibe}}
Forbidden phrases (overused on YouTube): "Hey what's up guys", "In this video", "Like and subscribe", "Without further ado"

Return 5 hooks. Each one is ≤25 words. Use these 5 angles, ONE EACH:
1. PAIN-FIRST — name the viewer's pain in their own words.
2. PROMISE — what they'll be able to do by the end.
3. CONTRARIAN — counter to common advice.
4. STORY — drop them mid-action ("3 weeks ago I deleted 80% of my email list...").
5. NUMBER — a specific stat or count that earns the attention.

For each: HOOK TEXT, plus 1-line WHY IT WORKS for this viewer. AU English.
