Turn every video into your
next viral hit.
Know which cut wins before you post it. More views, more followers, more sales, consistently, not by luck. Built on real fMRI brain-response data, Axony predicts how the algorithm will treat your video more accurately than any tool guessing from engagement stats alone.
Predicted model estimate — not a medical device, not a guarantee of real-world performance.
Real example
Watch Axony scan a real short
A real MrBeast short with 600M+ real YouTube views, run through Axony's prediction pipeline. Scroll here and it plays — the analytics below reflect what a genuine viral outlier looks like, not a typical clip.

The deliverable
Here's what you get from a single scan
Real output shape from a 20-second short-form clip. Every stat below comes from the same activation matrix — nothing is a separate survey or a manual tag.

Retention

Under the hood
Grounded in real neuroscience, not vibes
The fusion architecture is trained on naturalistic fMRI response data, validated with subject- and stimulus-held-out splits — the same methodology the field uses to score itself, not a metric we invented. Every result ships with a model-version label so you always know exactly how mature the prediction behind it is.
How it works
Score any video in four steps
No panels. No focus groups. A model trained on real neuroscience data reads your video the way a brain does — in seconds.
Upload your video
Any ad, trailer, or short-form clip. Nothing leaves the structured-data boundary except the finished report.
Watch it predict, live
A real anatomical cortical surface lights up region-by-region in sync with playback — not a stylized effect, a model estimate.
20+ metrics get computed
Retention curve, hook strength, skip-risk points, cognitive load, emotional arc — deterministically, from the raw predicted signal.
Claude writes the fix list
Plain-English diagnosis with timestamps, not a dashboard you have to interpret yourself.
“Attention drops sharply at 0:07 — the cut to the wide shot loses the face.”
— Claude, Studio report
The details that make it actually work
A real brain, not a blob
Built on actual FreeSurfer cortical surface data — real gyri, real sulci, real hemisphere anatomy. Nobody else in this category renders a brain that would survive a neuroscientist's second look.
Retention that behaves like retention
Modeled as a proper survival curve — starts at 100%, only goes down. Not a wobbly engagement line pretending to be a retention chart.
Hover any region
Point at the brain, get the region name and its live predicted activation value. No legend required.
Click a weak point, jump there
Every timestamp in the report is a scrubber. Click it, the video seeks, the brain re-renders.
Right-sized models per tier
Haiku for fast Creator reports, Sonnet for Pro's full narrative, Sonnet 5 for Studio's deepest analysis.
Credits that last 12 months
Not 90 days. Top-up minutes don't evaporate before you get around to using them.
20+ metrics, written in plain English
Not a dashboard you have to interpret yourself. Every scan comes with a narrative report that names the problem and the fix.

Built for two very different Mondays
For marketers
Pre-test creative before media spend
Run every ad variant through Axony before launch. Catch the weak hook, the muddy CTA window, and the mid-roll attention cliff while it's still free to fix.
For creators
Know your cut before you post it
See exactly where a video loses attention before the algorithm decides for you. Re-cut the weak seconds, not the whole video.
“Marketing has always been guesswork wearing a data costume. We built the tool that tells you the truth before your audience does.”

There was no option between guessing and an enterprise contract

No sales calls. No black boxes.
Neuro-analytics has historically meant enterprise contracts and raw heatmaps you need a data analyst to read. Axony is instant, self-serve, transparently priced, and hands you a written diagnosis instead of a dashboard — and we say so plainly whenever a prediction is an estimate, not a certainty.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Self-serve, transparent, no sales calls. Pick the depth of analysis you need. No free tier, no team seats, no API access. Pay-as-you-go top-ups expire in 12 months, not 90 days.

Questions, answered honestly
Why we built this
Every performance marketer and creator we talked to had the same problem: real feedback arrives after the money is spent. We wanted a second opinion before that moment — one grounded in how attention actually works in the brain, not in vanity metrics or guesswork. That's Axony.
