The AI Hook Factory: Generate 50+ Meta Ad Hooks in 5 Minutes

Hey everyone, Happy Friday. On Monday, we deconstructed the anatomy of a scroll-stopping hook. We learned the four strategic frameworks the pros use: the Direct Challenge, the "In Medias Res" hook, the Violated Expectation, and the "Press Pause" Question.

Knowing the theory is a massive advantage. But theory doesn't launch ads. You still need to face the blank page and come up with creative ideas. What happens when you're out of ideas? Or when the ideas you have feel stale?

Today, we solve that problem. Forever.

I’m giving you a single, powerful AI prompt that I call the "AI Hook Factory." You feed it one simple insight, and it multiplies that insight into 50+ ready-to-test hook ideas across all four frameworks. This is how you separate the high-level strategy (your job) from the heavy lifting of creative brainstorming (the AI's job).

Here’s the AI system we're building today:

  • How to use AI as your personal "Creative Multiplier."

  • A single, copy-paste "mega-prompt" that generates hooks across four different strategic categories.

  • The system for turning one pain point into an entire month's worth of creative tests.

Let's build the factory.

🔍 The Big Idea: AI as Your Creative Multiplier

Your time is best spent on high-level strategy: understanding your customer, defining their core problem, and clarifying the benefit your product delivers. That's the human insight. The bottleneck is turning that one insight into dozens of creative expressions to test.

This is the perfect job for AI. You can think of it as a "Creative Multiplier." You provide one strategic input, and AI multiplies it into a vast output of creative ideas. This allows you to test at a scale and speed that is humanly impossible, dramatically increasing your chances of finding a breakthrough winner.

We're using AI to build a massive library of inspiration that is directly tied to our core strategy.

🧰 The "AI Hook Factory" Mega-Prompt

This is the one. This prompt is designed to generate a high volume of diverse hook ideas from a single, simple input.

The Prompt:

Act as a world-class direct-response video strategist and copywriter, specializing in creating a high volume of scroll-stopping hooks for Meta ads (Instagram Reels, Facebook videos, etc.).

My goal is to create a large list of testable hook ideas based on one core concept.

**STRATEGIC INPUT:**

* **My Product:** [e.g., "The 'Spotless' Stain Remover Pen"]
* **My Target Audience:** [e.g., "Busy people who are clumsy and often spill coffee or food on their clothes at the worst times."]
* **Key Pain Point It Solves:** [e.g., "The panic and embarrassment of a fresh stain on your clothes when you're out in public and can't change."]
* **Key Benefit It Delivers:** [e.g., "Instantly erases a stain on the spot, saving your clothes and your confidence."]

**YOUR MISSION:**
Based ONLY on the inputs above, generate a list of 10-15 distinct ad hook ideas for EACH of the following four categories. For each hook, specify the visual and any on-screen text (OST) or voice-over (VO).

**1. Direct Challenge Hooks:** (Hooks that call out the audience or their problem).
**2. "In Medias Res" Hooks:** (Hooks that start in the middle of the action or with a surprising result).
**3. Violated Expectation Hooks:** (Hooks that show something visually unexpected or bizarre).
**4. "Press Pause" Question Hooks:** (Hooks that create a strong curiosity gap).

Example AI Output Snippet:

1. Direct Challenge Hooks:

  • Visual: A person looks down at their shirt in horror. OST: "You're Not Going to Let a Little Spill Ruin Your Day, Are You?"

  • Visual: Someone points accusingly at the camera. VO: "If you're a clumsy person, you need to see this."

2. "In Medias Res" Hooks:

  • Visual: The video starts with a close-up of the stain remover pen's tip already working on a bright red wine stain. VO: "...and just like that, it's gone."

  • Visual: A person is smiling and laughing at a party, then the video quickly rewinds to 5 minutes earlier, showing them spilling wine all over themselves.

3. Violated Expectation Hooks:

  • Visual: Someone intentionally and dramatically pours coffee onto a clean white shirt. OST: "Yep. I Did That on Purpose."

  • Visual: A person uses the stain remover pen to draw a smiley face on a shirt, then erases it perfectly.

4. "Press Pause" Question Hooks:

  • Visual: A person holds up two identical-looking white shirts. VO: "What if I told you one of these shirts was covered in coffee 30 seconds ago?"

  • Visual: A close-up of the small stain remover pen. OST: "Is this tiny pen more powerful than your washing machine?"

The "Hook-to-Script" Engine – Never Let a Great Hook Go to Waste.

A scroll-stopping hook is useless if the next 27 seconds of your ad are a boring letdown. The biggest failure in creative is a brilliant opening followed by a disconnected message. The top 1% don't just generate hooks; they use AI to instantly build a complete, congruent ad script around their best hook.

This is a two-step AI process that turns a great idea into a ready-to-film asset.

Step 1: Generate Your Hooks. First, run the "AI Hook Factory" prompt from today's newsletter to generate your list of 50+ potential hooks.

Step 2: Choose Your Champion & Run the "Hook-to-Script" Prompt. Pick the single most compelling hook from the list. The one that makes you lean in. Now, feed it into this second, powerful prompt:

Act as a master direct-response video scriptwriter for Meta ads. I have a winning ad hook and need you to build a complete 20-30 second video ad script around it. The script must be congruent and perfectly fulfill the promise of the hook.

**My Product:** [e.g., "The 'Spotless' Stain Remover Pen"]
**My Target Audience:** [e.g., "Busy people who are clumsy and often spill coffee or food on their clothes."]
**The Winning Hook:** [Paste the single best hook you selected. e.g., Visual: A person intentionally pours coffee on a white shirt. OST: "Yep. I Did That on Purpose."]

**YOUR TASK:**
Write a complete video ad script with three clear sections:
1.  **The Hook (Seconds 0-3):** [This will be the winning hook you provided].
2.  **The Body (Seconds 4-20):** Quickly transition from the hook. Agitate the core problem, introduce our product as the hero, and demonstrate its effectiveness with 1-2 key proof points that directly resolve the hook's tension.
3.  **The CTA (Seconds 21-30):** A clear, concise call to action with the offer.

Provide the script in a simple, two-column format (Visual | Audio/VO/OST).

The Result: You no longer have just an idea for an opening. You have a complete, shootable script where the hook is the opening promise and the rest of the ad is engineered to prove it. This workflow eliminates the disconnect between a good idea and a great execution, allowing you to produce powerful, coherent video ads at an incredible speed.

💣 VALUE BOMB (Trust Your Gut!)

When the AI generates a list of 50+ hooks, don't overanalyze them. Your brain will naturally spot 2-3 that make you think, "Ooh, that's clever," or "That feels right." Trust that instinct. Those are the ones you should test first. It's your deep customer empathy meeting AI's scale. That intersection is where the magic happens.

🛠 TACTICAL TIP (The 15-Minute Hook Test!)

You can put this to work immediately.

  1. Run the "AI Hook Factory" prompt for your product right now.

  2. Pick ONE hook idea from the "Direct Challenge" list and ONE from the "Press Pause Question" list.

  3. Grab your phone and film just the first 3 seconds for each hook. No need for a full production.

  4. Stitch these new hooks onto the front of your best-performing ad. You now have two new, strategically-sound ads to test. This entire process, from prompt to having new video files, can take less than 15 minutes. No more excuses.

To the next one, Tomasz.
