The Hooked Model is a behavioral design framework developed by Nir Eyal that explains how to build habit-forming products. It consists of four key stages: Trigger, Action, Variable Reward, and Investment. By repeatedly guiding users through this cycle, products can create long-term engagement and loyalty. The Hooked Model is widely used in growth marketing and product design to encourage user retention by tapping into psychological triggers and feedback loops.
