Colby’s Hook Desk

Every morning the desk is stocked with the news stories and viral clips worth reacting to, each one already positioned in Colby’s voice with an Open, a Turn, and a Close, plus a caption that carries his ManyChat keyword. He picks a card, saves the assets, and films.
Key Features
- Greenscreen asset generatorEvery article becomes two ready-to-film images: a 1920×1080 headline card and a 1080×1920 article view with the masthead, headline, and real opening paragraphs, sized to read on a phone. Press and hold to save.
- Positioning in his voiceOpen, Turn, and Close for each story, written against a voice profile built from his own content, so the take sounds like Colby, not a template.
- A sourced desk, not a blank page28 news stories, 37 react and stitch clips, 34 hook formulas, and 20 evergreen topics, refreshed on a schedule, with a link to a reference video on every card.
- Captions that convertEvery card ships with a caption and a comment keyword wired to a ManyChat flow, so the download link goes out automatically.
- He can add to itColby drops in clips he finds himself and they land on the desk with a preview, the same way the sourced ones do.
