Common questions
Can I try before I buy?
Yes. Every new account starts with 5 days of full access to Hookami's web workspace. After the trial, you keep the Free plan, including Signals, cached insights, limited Hookami Anywhere access, and the option to buy Atelier tokens whenever you need them. Live research and ongoing Sensei chat are included in paid plans.
What are Atelier tokens?
Atelier tokens are credits used by tools like Blueprint, Forge, Frame Studio, and Pre-Publish reviews. Creator includes 50/month, Master includes 300/month, and you can buy extra packs anytime.
What is Hookami Anywhere?
Hookami Anywhere is our live MCP connector that brings Hookami's tools — Trend Vision, outlier-ranked video discovery, and live research — into ChatGPT, Claude, and any MCP-compatible app. Ask Sensei-grade research questions right where you already work. Works with every active Hookami account — see hookami.ai/anywhere for the two-minute setup.
Is Hookami Anywhere available on Free?
Yes. Any active Hookami account can connect. Free includes the always-open radar (trending, keyword stats, fresh news), 3 Deep Dives in a 30-day window that starts with your first successful Deep Dive, and one limited preview. Paid plans remove those limits entirely.
Does Creator Lens make Sensei smarter?
Yes — in your account. Creator Lens makes Sensei sharper because it starts with your saved creative context: your niche, tone, audience, projects, rules, references, and things to avoid. It is account-level personalization, not a shared knowledge layer for other creators.
What's the difference between Creator and Master?
Creator gives you the complete daily workflow: Sensei chat, live research, Outlier discovery, Blueprint, Brief Builder, Forge, Frame Studio, Pre-Publish, 50 monthly Atelier tokens, and unlimited Hookami Anywhere.
Master adds Sensei Deep Mode for complex strategic work, Creator Lens for persistent account-level personalization, on-demand Research Viral, Field Check, Frame Check, expanded Sensei capacity, and 300 monthly Atelier tokens.
Choose Master when the work requires deeper reasoning, persistent creator context, and substantially more capacity — not simply access to the core workflow.
Is the price on this page what I actually pay?
Yes. The price shown is the price charged, and it is what renews each period — no introductory rate that quietly doubles later. If a limited-time offer is running on your account, the discounted amount and what it renews at are both shown before you reach checkout.
Can I switch plans or billing later?
Absolutely. Upgrade, downgrade, or switch between monthly and yearly anytime. Changes apply at the start of your next billing cycle.
Why does the free book for Master come after August 10, 2026?
The Algorithm Is a Mirror is enrolled in Amazon KDP Select, which means the Kindle edition must remain exclusive to Amazon for the first 90 days after publication. That window closes on August 10, 2026. After that date, every active Master member receives a free digital copy as part of their subscription. Until then, the book is available now to read free on Kindle Unlimited or buy on Amazon for everyone.
