# HookMafia

> HookMafia is creator intelligence for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and TikTok Shop. It answers two questions: what to post and what to sell. It researches the videos going viral in your niche, finds TikTok Shop products worth filming (each with a PROMOTE, WATCH or SKIP verdict), scores your hook 0-100 before you film, and hands you shoot-ready scripts with scene-by-scene camera direction. HookMafia does not render or generate finished videos, you or your creator films the script. The same tools run inside ChatGPT and Claude through HookLayer (hooklayer.dev).

## What HookMafia Does

HookMafia helps TikTok creators, UGC freelancers, and content agencies stop guessing. The workflow is Research → Score → Write → Shoot: it surfaces the viral videos, hooks, and creators winning in your niche, scores your angle against proven patterns before you waste a shoot, then hands you shoot-ready scripts with scene-by-scene camera direction, captions, and hashtag strategy. You or your creator films the script — HookMafia does not render or generate finished videos. Unlike generic AI writing tools like ChatGPT, every output is TikTok-native: scene breakdowns, text overlays, trending sounds, and hashtag strategy.
