Does this generate the actual video?

No — it generates the script and creative direction. You (or your creator) still film and edit; this removes the blank-page bottleneck before that.

Can I get multiple hook options?

Yes, adjust the AI prompt to return an array of hook variants instead of one — noted in the guide's customization section.

AI UGC Video Script Generator

Add a product or topic to a Google Sheet row and this automation sends it to an AI model that writes a complete UGC-style script for TikTok/Reels/Shorts: a scroll-stopping hook, the full spoken script with B-roll cues, a caption, and hashtags — ready for you or a creator to film from.

4Everything is written to the Generated Scripts tab, ready for you (or a creator) to film from.
5Your team gets a Slack ping with the topic and hook so they know a new script is ready.
