Pull score
3/5

How hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment.

Why this qualified

Running 79x the account's own baseline, this post reached 539K views against the 6.8K a normal post there sees. That is the whole test for an outlier in Handler - reach measured against the account's own median rather than against other accounts, so a small account with a genuine breakout still qualifies while a big account coasting on its size does not.

Cantina AI app is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 3/5, 3.2% weighted - is what says viewers acted on it, since saves and shares weigh in hardest and a save is the clearest sign a viewer means to come back.

Underneath the two scores sit the actual counts - 10K likes, 102 comments, 1.2K shares, and 552 saves - the raw engagement Handler reads to place the post in its niche.

The full breakdown - why the hook works, the comment-intent read, and the ready-to-shoot dupe kit - lives inside Handler.

Anatomy

The video runs for about 75 seconds without spoken audio, opening directly on a screen recording of a messaging interface. Text overlays frame a text message conversation between siblings about a pool party. The video progresses through multiple narrative beats at a steady, reading-speed pace, alternating between incoming chat bubbles and on-screen typing. Halfway through the sequence, the interface shifts to an app demo where an artificial intelligence image generation feature produces a prank photo. The generated image is then inserted into the ongoing chat thread. The remaining beats show the recipient's text reactions displayed on screen until the clip ends.
