Free Hook Generator: 10 Scroll Stopping Opening Lines
Tell it your topic and who it is for, and get ten opening lines to test.
The Maker AI hook generator is a free tool that writes opening lines for social posts, videos and emails. Enter your topic and who it is for, and it returns 10 hooks across five proven patterns: curiosity gap, contrarian, numbered list, mistake and comment to get. Each hook is labelled by pattern, so you can test different styles and keep the ones your audience responds to.
What is a hook in social media?
A hook is the first line or first second of a post, written to stop the scroll. It promises something worth reading so people keep going.
Which hook patterns does the generator use?
It uses five patterns: curiosity gap, contrarian, numbered list, mistake and comment to get. Mixing patterns helps you learn which style your audience responds to.
How do I pick the best hook?
Choose the hook that names your audience's problem most clearly and promises a payoff the post actually delivers. Then test a few versions and keep the one that earns the most comments.
Frequently asked questions
Is the hook generator free?
Yes. The hook generator is free to use and needs no signup or credit card. Each visitor gets a few free generations per day so the tool stays fast for everyone. If you want posts written and published for you every day, the Maker AI social media agent has a 7-day free trial you can cancel anytime.
Can I use these hooks for TikTok and Reels?
Yes. Every hook works as the first line of a caption or the first sentence you say on camera in a TikTok, Reel or YouTube Short. Read it out loud before you film and trim any words that slow it down, because a spoken hook needs to land in the first breath.
What is a curiosity gap hook?
A curiosity gap hook tells people enough to make them want the rest, without giving the answer away. It opens a question in the reader's mind, such as a surprising result or an unexpected reason, and the body of the post closes that gap with the payoff it promised.
What is a comment to get hook?
A comment to get hook invites people to comment a keyword to receive something, such as a guide, a checklist or a template. It turns attention into a raised hand, and with comment to DM on Instagram, Maker AI can send your link to everyone who comments that keyword.
How many hooks should I test?
Testing a few hooks on the same idea is a simple way to learn what your audience likes. Keep the topic and the body the same, change only the opening line, and compare comments and shares. Over time you will see which patterns fit your audience and your offer best.
What happens when I reach the daily limit?
The free tools allow a few generations per visitor each day. When you reach the limit, come back tomorrow or start the Maker AI 7-day free trial, which remakes influencer-proven viral posts for your business and posts them to 7 platforms on schedule, with comment to DM on Instagram.
