The idea

Creative volume is the bottleneck in TikTok Shop. Sellers know the game is testing ten creatives to find one winner, but every test starts with a script someone has to write — and most sellers stare at a blank page, rip off whatever’s on their feed, and burn ad spend finding out it doesn’t transfer to their product. Scripts are the cheapest unit of creative testing, and nobody treats them as the product.

Speel proved sellers pay real money monthly for manufactured UGC creative — but it generates the video itself, with AI avatars. The wedge here is the layer below: arm the sellers who film with real creators or their own phone. Organized hook patterns per product category, shot lists a non-videographer can follow, and batch generation built for the test-ten-keep-one workflow. It’s a weekend build with no GPU bill, which means the whole game is speed to distribution, not engineering.

Who pays

TikTok Shop sellers and small UGC agencies pay $29-59 a month — a rounding error against their ad budget, justified the first time a generated hook outperforms. The agency tier matters: a two-person UGC shop briefs a dozen creators a week and will live in the batch and brief-export features. Distribution is wherever sellers already are: TikTok Shop seller Discords and Facebook groups, creators posting their own before/after results, and short-form content demonstrating the tool on trending products.

  • Skip for v1: video generation, TikTok API integration, performance analytics import, team seats, multi-language
// Build prompt — paste into Cursor / Claude Code / Lovable / Bolt
Build HookSheet, a web app that generates UGC ad scripts for TikTok Shop sellers. Stack: Next.js (App Router) with server actions, Claude API for generation, Stripe for subscriptions. No other infra — Postgres via a hosted provider for accounts and saved scripts.

Core flow: 1) Seller pastes a TikTok Shop or product page URL. 2) Server fetches the page, extracts title, price, bullets, and reviews. 3) Claude classifies the product into a category (beauty, kitchen, fitness, gadgets, supplements, fashion) and generates 5 scripts, each built on a named hook pattern proven for that category: problem-agitate, skeptic-converted, POV-discovery, results-timeline, us-vs-them. 4) Each script outputs: 3 alternative opening hooks (first 2 seconds), beat-by-beat lines with on-screen text callouts, a phone-only shot list (angles, props, lighting notes), 3 caption variants with hashtag sets, and a CTA matched to TikTok Shop mechanics (yellow basket callout). 5) Batch mode: generate 20 scripts across hook patterns in one click for creative testing; export all as CSV or a creator brief PDF.

Pages: landing, generator, script library with status tags (drafted, filmed, testing, winner), account/billing.

Non-obvious details: keep a hand-curated hook-pattern library per category in the prompt context rather than asking the model to invent hooks — consistency is the product. Track which patterns users mark as winners and feed that back into pattern ranking.

Pricing: $29/mo (30 scripts), $59/mo (unlimited plus batch mode and creator briefs). 3 free scripts, card required.
