FAQ

Honest answers, no fluff.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT writes a generic hook on request. HookJolt generates 24 hooks across the eight retention patterns top creators actually use, scored and ranked so you pick the best one in 30 seconds. The prompt engineering, the pattern library, and the format awareness are baked in — no copy-pasting prompts from Reddit.

Will the hooks actually work for my niche?

The eight hook patterns are psychological structures, not topic scripts — curiosity, contrarian claims, transformation, and specific pains land in any niche. If you make short-form video, the patterns work. The only thing that changes is the vocabulary, which HookJolt picks up from your topic and niche inputs.

What's the catch with “pay per use”?

There isn't one. You buy credits, you spend them when you generate, that's it — no monthly fee, no card on file by default, no auto-renewal. Free tier gives you 5 credits to try before any payment.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Email [email protected] and I'll refund any unused credits, no questions asked. If a specific generation was bad, send me the request and I'll refund those credits too — we'd rather give the money back than have you feel ripped off.

Who built this?

HookJolt is built by one developer who watched too many great video ideas die in the first two seconds. Solo team for now — fast fixes, direct feedback, real responses from a human, not a support queue.

Will my data be used to train AI?

No. We call Gemini via Vertex AI's enterprise tier, which is contractually excluded from training data. Your topics and generated hooks stay in our database for your own history and to improve the product for you — nothing is sent anywhere else.
