list_hooks browses Versely's AI Hooks studio: curated premade examples (always free), free reaction B-roll, and a premium marketplace of viral opener clips — reaction shots, scroll-stoppers, fitness/product hook clips. get_hook pulls the detail on a specific one once you've picked it.
If you want a batch of several DISTINCT branded hooks generated specifically for your brand rather than browsing a stock catalog, create_hook_pack plans and renders N of them from your brand context in one go, charged once for the pack.
Powered by
Browse the AI Hooks studio catalog: curated premade examples (always-available video_url, free), free reaction B-roll (GET /broll/free), and premium marketplace hooks (GET /broll/search). Returns id, title, preview/video_url, kind (premade|free|premium), optional price for premium, and category/vibe. Applying a hook to a user's video is client-side — feed video_url into edit_video / compose_video_with_overlay / create_ugc_video_overlay (premium preview URLs may be watermarks; purchase via the app marketplace if a full unlock is needed). Use when the user wants viral hooks, reaction openers, UGC scroll-stoppers, or fitness/product hook clips.
What to tell the agent
Versely's agent maps this plain-English request directly onto list_hooks. You don't need to know the parameter names — just describe what you want.
“Show me viral hook clips I can use to open this video, then apply one to the start of it.”
How it works
1. Browse the catalog
list_hooks returns premade (always-available, free), free reaction B-roll, and premium marketplace hooks — filterable by kind, search term and category/vibe.
2. Pull details on the one you pick
get_hook returns the full detail (video_url, price if premium) for a specific hook by id.
3. Apply it to your video
Feed the hook's video_url into edit_video or compose_video_with_overlay as the opening clip — applying a hook is client-side, not a separate 'apply' API call.
4. Or generate a branded batch instead
For several distinct hooks made specifically for your brand, use create_hook_pack with your brand_context and desired count — it plans and renders the whole pack in one charge.
What it costs
Premade and free reaction hooks from list_hooks cost nothing beyond the standard edit operation to apply them. Premium marketplace hooks carry their own price, purchased through the app marketplace — preview URLs for those may be watermarked until unlocked. create_hook_pack charges once for the whole batch of N branded hooks.
The formula behind that number: What does editing a video cost if I keep changing it? — charges per finished export, so iteration is free and the count is the whole bill.
Limits & things to know
- Premium hook previews may be watermarked until purchased — plan for that if you're evaluating several before committing.
- Applying a chosen hook to your video is a separate step (via edit_video / compose_video_with_overlay / create_ugc_video_overlay), not automatic.
- create_hook_pack renders with a fixed underlying video model — it's built for a branded batch, not for picking a specific existing clip.
Who uses this
- TikTok/Reels openers built to stop the scroll
- Testing several hook variants against the same video body
- Branded hook packs for a UGC ad campaign
