Hookjury

AI focus groups for video and social ads

Know which ad will win before you spend the budget.

Hookjury shows your videos to focus groups built from real audience data and forecasts how they'll perform on Meta, TikTok and YouTube. Test ten variants in the time it takes to brief one.

How it works

From folder to verdict in minutes, not weeks.

  1. 01

    Upload your videos

    Drop in one ad or a whole folder of variants. Video, images, scripts and copy.

  2. 02

    Pick a focus group

    Choose a ready-made e-commerce audience, or one built on your own customers.

  3. 03

    Get a ranking in minutes

    Every variant scored, forecast for 10,000 impressions and explained in plain words.

Product

A focus group that never sleeps, and shows its work.

A classic focus group takes weeks and a five-figure budget. A test on Meta costs real money and only tells you what happened, not why. Hookjury sits in between: fast, cheap enough to test everything, and honest about how sure it is.

  • Focus bots that think like your customers

    Each panel is made of distinct people with jobs, habits and opinions. The same panel judges every variant, so the differences come from your creative.

  • A forecast in Ads Manager terms

    Hook rate, ThruPlays, link clicks, purchases and cost per result for 10,000 impressions, each with a likely range.

  • Calibrated on your own results

    Connect Meta Ads, Google Ads and GA4, and forecasts start from your real CTR, view rates and CPM instead of averages.

  • Ten variants, one answer

    Upload a folder and see which video to run, and what the strongest ones have in common.

  • It hears the ad too

    Voiceover, music and on-screen text are part of the test, not just the images.

  • The why, not just the score

    Quotes from the panel and concrete recommendations: what to cut, what to move, what to say sooner.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

What exactly is a focus bot?

A simulated person with a name, age, job, habits and opinions, built to react like a real member of your audience. Each one watches your video, rates it, says how likely they are to stop, click and buy, and tells you why in their own words.

How can 100 focus bots stand for 10,000 people?

On Meta you need thousands of impressions because each person only tells you click or no click. A focus bot gives far more: ratings, reasons and its own chances to stop, watch, click and buy. We then simulate 10,000 impressions across your audience, so you get a forecast in the same terms as Ads Manager: hook rate, ThruPlays, link clicks, purchases and cost.

How accurate is it?

It's a forecast, so we show you how far to trust it. Every number comes with a likely range, and on Enterprise we backtest your focus group on campaigns you've already run, so you see how close the predictions came before you rely on them.

Can it use our own ad data?

Yes. Connect Meta Ads, Google Ads and Google Analytics 4. We only ever read from them, and forecasts are calibrated on your own click-through rates, view rates, conversion and CPM instead of industry averages.

Can it hear the voiceover and music?

Yes. Each video is analysed with sound, so the panel reacts to what's said, the music and the on-screen text, not just the images.

What happens to our videos and data?

Your material is stored privately, only used to test your campaigns and never used to train AI models. Connected ad accounts are read-only and can be disconnected at any time, which deletes everything we synced.
