FAQ
Breakdown FAQ
Why does this social media hook work?
The hook defines a very specific emotional reading taste: love stories that hurt beautifully rather than comfort.
How can I adapt this carousel format with AI?
Use the format name, first-slide hook, visual hook, and image sourcing guide as the brief. Ask the agent to preserve the psychology while changing the niche, offer, and proof assets.
