Crayo is built for the formats that fill faceless short-form feeds (clipped moments, story videos, text-driven edits) with AI voice and styled subtitles doing most of the work. Versely comes at the same feed from the opening seconds: a Hooks studio that produces a batch of AI hook videos for a brand, and editing tools that attach a hook, a reaction beat, a voice and captions to whatever follows.
Hooks are made in batches and a batch can be scheduled, but hooks are not on autopilot; someone starts each batch. That is why this page pairs them with slideshow automations for the part of a page that does run by itself.
A batch of hooks for one brand
create-a-branded-hook-pack plans several distinct hook videos from one brief so they don't echo each other, and charges once for the set. Each clip comes back vertical with its line burned on screen in big text. The finished batch can be scheduled to post; starting the next one is up to you.
The opening line, on screen
add-a-hook-to-your-video puts a hook clip in front of an existing video. add-timed-text-overlays-to-my-video writes your own lines onto the first seconds, each on its own timestamp, so the promise lands before a thumb moves. add-reaction-clips-to-video cuts in a reaction beat where a story needs a laugh or a double-take.
Voice and captions for story formats
Story-led shorts live on narration. write-and-generate-a-voiceover reads the script in the voice you choose, and add-captions-to-video transcribes that narration into styled, burned-in lines, so a text-heavy story still works with the sound off.
Long footage into shorts
convert-video-to-shorts finds the strongest stretch of a long video and reformats it vertical; trim-a-video is there for a tighter manual cut. The parts of a page that do not need a person, such as an image-led slideshow feed, can run as a slideshow automation beside the hand-made shorts.
How it works
1. Write one brief for the brand
Product, audience and tone in a sentence or two.
2. Generate the hook batch
Several distinct hook videos from the one brief, charged once for the set.
3. Add voice, captions and reaction beats
Narrate the story, burn in captions, and cut a reaction in where it earns a beat.
4. Schedule the batch
Queue the finished hooks through Auto Post. The next batch starts when you start it.
What runs on autopilot, and what doesn't →
Slideshow automations run by themselves; hook batches are started by you. The autopilot page shows the automated half.

Frequently asked questions
How does Versely compare to Crayo?+
Versely leads with the opening seconds: the Hooks studio makes a batch of distinct AI hook videos for a brand, and the editor adds hook text, reaction clips, voice-over and captions to the rest of a short. Long videos can be cut into vertical shorts in the same account.
Are hooks generated automatically on a schedule?+
No. You start each batch in the Hooks studio. A finished batch can be scheduled to post, but a new batch is never made without you.
Is a hook pack charged per hook?+
No. A pack is charged once for the whole set, and the credit cost is shown before you confirm.
Can captions match the voice-over timing?+
Yes. The captioning step transcribes the narration and times each line to it, so nothing is placed by hand.
