Know what will work before you publish.
Instinct watches your video the way your audience will — frame, voice, pacing, and script — then predicts the retention curve, flags drop-off risks by timestamp, and scores your title before you publish.
Three signals, one prediction. Most tools score text. Instinct scores the watch experience.
Visual hook strength
Keyframe sampling reads opening composition, cut cadence, and scene-change pacing — the same signals a viewer's thumb reacts to.
Energy and delivery
Waveform and prosody analysis catches monotone stretches, awkward silences, and energy dips before they cost you retention.
Story beats and payoff
Hook timing, promise-to-payoff distance, and narrative structure — scored against what's working in your niche right now.
Three deliverables, one upload.
Predicted Retention Curve
Second-by-second forecast generated from video, audio, and transcript — see the full curve and the 30-second cliff before you publish.
Drop-off Risk Timestamps
Specific windows flagged with a reason: pacing dip, unresolved setup, energy drop, or weak transition. Fix the moments that cost watch time.
Title & Hook Scoring
Title scored against your channel's history with concrete rewrites, plus an opening-30s diagnosis of whether the hook earns the click.
Improve the episode before it goes live.
Upload your cut. Instinct runs the multimodal engine and returns the watch experience your audience is about to have:
- Predicted retention curve
- Timestamped drop-off risks
- Title score with concrete rewrites
- Opening 30s hook diagnosis
- Pacing and energy dips
- Shorts-worthy moments
Audience intelligence — comments as signals, not vanity metrics.
Beyond the prediction engine, Instinct surfaces validation spikes, audience requests, emotional response patterns, and topic momentum from your real viewers — so you know what to make next.
Built for creators who publish with intention.
Instinct reads your channel through three layers — Format (the scoring spine), Intent (why viewers actually come), and Niche (your subject domain). Every prediction adapts to all three.
