<b>'AI hook generator' apps: tested, here's the truth</b>
Every clipper now bolts on an AI hook writer. Are they worth a dedicated tool?

What they do well:
— Spit 20 hook variations fast for A/B testing
— Break your writer's block at 11pm

Where they fail:
— Generic 'You won't believe...' templates the algorithm has seen a million times
— No idea what YOUR audience actually clicks

Reality: the hook tools inside Opus Clip and Submagic are 'free with the sub'; standalone hook apps charging $15/mo add nothing.

Verdict: never pay for a standalone hook generator — use the one bundled in your clipper, then rewrite its output in your own voice. The tool's job is volume, yours is judgment. Skip any app whose only feature is hook lines.
Not for: experienced creators who already know their hook patterns — you're faster than the AI.
