| Hook | First 2 seconds | Generates options to test |

Going viral is a testing game
Virality on TikTok is partly luck, but you improve your odds by publishing consistently and testing hooks, formats, and topics. AI accelerates the testing loop — more videos, more hooks, more iterations — which is how small creators compete.
“TikTok rewards volume and iteration. AI does not make you viral, but it lets you roll the dice far more often.” — Priya Sharma, AdsMG AI
