AI Tool to Find Top Instagram Video Hooks
Built a Claude skill to "watch" 81 Instagram vids so AI finds the best hooks! Open-sourced & free, baby
--an aside: building tools you actually use is its own kind of dopamine ✨--
Every Sunday I rewatch my own Reels, pull out hooks that landed, and manually add them to a reference file my Claude content agents use. But alas I kept skipping it because it took forever. 🥲
The Instagram API gives metrics but doesn't tell you what you actually said. Also no great way to connect IG to Claude (at least none I could find!)
So Nicolas and I built something that goes deeper. The skill pulls my video transcriptions alongside my data, so I can ask things I never could before:
- Which hooks show up most in my best-performing videos?
- What topics am I covering when saves spike?
- Build me a report of my best & worst performing hooks. Add the best ones to my examples.md
It runs on its own every week, surfaces the best hooks, and updates my reference files automatically.
I'm mid-pivot on my content niche right now, so timing is perfect.
LinkedIn is maybe next (the API is more gated, so we shall see!)
