The problem

Your next winning ad is buried in a doc somewhere.

Modular scripts, remixed hooks, variation after variation. When you're the whole creative team, that all lives in docs, spreadsheets and AI chats — instead of one, neat board.

On hookboard

Scattered by default

Briefs in docs, hook lists in spreadsheets, copy written in chat. Every tool is fine on its own — but it gets messy trying to hold them together.

Flat pages can't show structure

A video ad is a hook, a body, and a close. A doc is a page and a spreadsheet is a grid. Squeezing one into the other is where the chaos starts.

No verdict, no memory

Without grades, killed ideas don't stay killed. You re-write the same mediocre hook every month, because you lost it or forgot that it didn't work.

How it works

Script an ad concept with different variations.

This is the part no doc or spreadsheet can do: your script's actual structure, drawn on the canvas.

STEP 01

Drop a concept

▶ New video idea
◻ New image idea
▶ VideoIdea
+
Hook
Variation 1

Right-click the canvas, pick a format, name the idea — then add your first segment.

STEP 02

Script it in segments

Hook
Variation 1
"I closed my agency in its best month…"
Variation 2
"What would you build if the retainer didn't exist?"
Variation 3
"Most agencies won't tell you…"
Body
Variation 1
"I ran the numbers on our own campaigns — here's what changed."
Close
Variation 1
"Link's below — see the board for yourself."

Split your script into segments, and variations of each.

STEP 03

Grade every variation

Hook
Variation 1
GradeMeh
Variation 2
GradeGood
Variation 3
GradeBrilliant

Grade each script variation so you can keep track of which ones are meh, good, or brilliant.

Then track every concept through the pipeline: Idea Scripting Production Live
The hookboard MCP server

Let AI become your creative strategist.

You don't have a strategist on payroll — but you probably have an AI subscription that helps you write copy and come up with ideas. Connect Claude, or any MCP-enabled assistant, and it can work on your board like a teammate.

Save to Hookboard

Just ask it to come up with an ad idea, and save the script variations to your hookboard. So all your AI ideas are organized and accessible.

Pre-graded

The AI grades each new variation on which it thinks is best, so you're not starting from scratch.

Read and analyze

AI can read and analyze all your hookboard concepts.

FAQ

You're probably thinking…

I already plan in docs and spreadsheets.

They're great at pages and grids — and a concept that branches into graded variations is neither. Hookboard's canvas branches the way your script planning does. That's the whole product.

Not another tool to learn.

This is about the simplest way to manage your scripting. If you can drag a card, you already know how to use it.

AI writes my scripts now.

Perfect — Hookboard has an MCP server, so your AI can file its scripts straight onto the board as graded variations. So you don't have to go back and string together copy from old, lost chats.

My process lives in my head.

Grades and statuses really help with ideation being able to visually see different variation iterations and which ones are dead and which ones are graded as 'brilliant'.

"I built Hookboard because my ad ideas were dying in Documents — not because they were bad, but because keeping track of concepts, avatars, hooks, variations and AI chats was a chaotic mess."
