Frequently asked questions
Mentis AI helps creators, agencies, and growth teams analyze short-form video with AI: paste a TikTok, Reel, Short, X, or Facebook link—or upload a file—and get structured feedback on hooks, pacing, retention, authenticity, and viral patterns. The answers below cover supported platforms, analyzing clips without third-party downloaders, trials, how we differ from native analytics, and agency workflows.
Home · Product overview · Pricing · Resources
- Which platforms do you support?
- Paste or upload TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook video, and X posts. Mentis normalizes signals so you can compare hooks and pacing across networks in one report.
- Do I need to download Instagram videos to analyze them?
- No. Mentis is not an Instagram video downloader—you paste a public Reel or post URL on the homepage and we fetch the clip server-side for analysis. That means hook scores, pacing notes, and retention signals without saving MP4s locally or using third-party Instagram savers.
- Is Mentis an Instagram video downloader?
- No. Mentis analyzes Instagram Reels and video posts from a link; it does not export or save files to your device. If you searched for an Instagram reel downloader or insta saver, use Mentis when you want AI feedback on hooks, pacing, captions, and viral patterns instead of a local copy.
- Can I analyze TikTok without saving the MP4?
- Yes. Paste a public TikTok video URL—no TikTok video downloader or tiktok-to-mp4 step required. Mentis pulls the clip for scoring so you can study hooks, retention, and cross-platform fit from the link alone.
- Does Mentis work with YouTube Shorts URLs?
- Yes, for YouTube Shorts links (youtube.com/shorts/…). Paste the Short URL on the homepage; you do not need a YouTube Shorts downloader. Mentis analyzes pacing, hooks, and on-screen text from the link. Standard watch-page URLs are not supported for deep-video intake.
- Can I analyze X or Twitter videos from a link?
- Yes. Paste a public X (Twitter) post URL that includes video—no x video downloader or save-tweet-video workflow needed. Mentis scores hooks, pacing, and sentiment from the link for short-form creative review.
- Do I need a credit card to try Mentis?
- No. Create a free account, run social-score or starter analyses, and upgrade when you need deeper category coverage, audio intelligence, or higher monthly volume.
- How is this different from native analytics?
- Platform dashboards summarize views and retention curves after publish. Mentis inspects the creative itself—hooks, edits, on-screen text, audio mood, authenticity risk, and viral patterns—so you can improve the next cut before spend goes live.
- Can agencies use Mentis for client reporting?
- Yes. Pro and Enterprise plans support higher throughput, exports, and workflows for UGC review, paid creative QA, and cross-platform benchmarking. See the pricing page for plan limits.
- What does a Mentis analysis include?
- Depending on your plan, you get hook and pacing scores, retention-oriented signals, on-screen text and audio notes, people and authenticity checks, viral pattern hints, and exportable summaries. Social-score runs are faster; deep-video runs unlock the full category map for paid tiers.
- Where can I learn about hooks and viral openers?
- Browse the free viral hooks library under Resources for categorized openers, psychology notes, and examples you can adapt for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts before you paste a link for scoring.
