Vidsteer
Vidsteer is an AI-powered tool designed specifically for short-form video creators on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It generates scroll-stopping hooks, video structures, and word-for-word scripts tailored to the user's niche and chosen platform. Unlike generic AI assistants, Vidsteer is trained on viral short-form content patterns, incorporating the methodology of its founder, Angus Mead, a video producer with over a decade of experience creating content for major brands. The tool works in three simple steps: users first pick their niche from 15 options (such as fitness, marketing, skincare) and select their platform; then they describe their video topic in a single sentence or use the built-in random topic generator for inspiration from over 1500 proven ideas; finally, Vidsteer delivers five distinct hook styles (curiosity gap, bold claim, relatable pain, shocking stat, and story open) along with a complete script structure, including timing for 30, 60, or 90-second formats. Every script is editable, allowing creators to infuse their own voice. Key features include niche-specific intelligence that adapts tone and language, platform-native pacing, and the ability to save scripts to an account for later use. The service emphasizes that it was built "by a creator, for creators," focusing on practical, result-driven content rather than generic AI outputs. It positions itself as a ghost-writer that amplifies the creator's ideas with proven viral frameworks. Vidsteer offers a freemium model with a paid plan at $19/month (or $149/year) that provides unlimited generations, all niches and platforms, and priority AI model access. It aims to solve the common problem of losing viewers in the first three seconds by equipping creators with hooks that are more likely to capture attention immediately.

Problem solved
Short-form video creators often struggle to craft hooks that capture audience attention within the critical first three seconds, leading to poor engagement and failed content. Generic AI tools like ChatGPT produce bland, non-specific scripts that don't account for platform nuances or niche language. Vidsteer solves this by providing an AI specifically trained on viral video patterns, delivering niche-relevant, platform-optimized hooks and scripts that help creators start strong and keep viewers watching, thereby increasing the likelihood of going viral.
