What strategies would you use to test different content angles on TikTok?
Educational/Utility (3 AI prompts for creators)
Entertainment/Surrealism (Using AI to imagine New York in 3026)
Behind-the-Scenes/Process (How I made this video with AI in 2 minutes)
Success Metric: Looking for the Shared/Saved count. This tells us which angle provides the most "value" to the viewer.

How would you create a short video that grabs attention in the first 3 seconds?
The Visual Jolt : Starting with an extreme close-up or a high-action AI-generated movement. Static shots feel like ads; dynamic, moving subjects (like a face turning toward the camera or an object exploding into particles) feel like content.
The Text Trap : Placing a bold, polarizing headline in the center of the screen. Using high-contrast colors (like yellow on black) and keep it to under 7 words so the brain processes it instantly without reading.
The Sound Sync : By matching a tactile sound effect (a pop, whoosh, or click) with a visual transition at the 0.5-second mark. This multisensory "hit" reinforces the "pattern interrupt" and grabs the user's focus.
The Curiosity Gap : A counter-intuitive fact or show a "Before vs. After" result immediately. If you show the "After" first, viewers are psychologically compelled to stay to see the process.
The "Speed Cut": Ensuring there is a significant visual change (a new angle, a color shift, or a text pop) every 1.5 seconds. For the first 3 seconds, the pacing should be slightly faster than the rest of the video to build momentum
