What It Does
This n8n workflow turns one winning video concept into a full A/B testing queue for your media buying team. Feed it an approved ad, and it generates 5-10 unique hook variations using AI — each with text overlays, CTAs, and opening frame descriptions — then ranks them by predicted performance.
Key Features

- Platform-Aware — Generates hooks optimized for Meta, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts
- Priority Ranking — AI scores and ranks each variation by predicted performance

How It Works
Webhook receives the source video URL, original hook, product info, target audience, and platform. The workflow downloads and analyzes the source video, then GPT-4o-mini generates hook variations. Each variation is scored and ranked for A/B testing priority with budget allocation. All variations are saved to Google Sheets, and a Slack message highlights the top 3 picks.
Hook Types
Question, Statistic, Controversy, Transformation, Pain Point, Social Proof, Curiosity Gap, Pattern Interrupt, Urgency, Direct Benefit.
