From AI engineer to founder — launching Clipo AI tomorrow
Hey everyone! I'm Abhishek, founder of Clipo AI.
Quick background: I spent 8 years building AI systems for video content — deep learning research with Sony Japan, then founding AI engineer at Vidyo.ai (now Quso.ai). After working with hundreds of creators, I kept seeing the same problem: one great video recorded, then 6+ hours spent turning it into clips, posts, carousels, and thumbnails using 5-6 different tools.
So I built Clipo — one upload, 20 pieces of publish-ready content. Clips with virality scores, branded carousels, voice-aligned LinkedIn/Twitter posts, thumbnails, AI images, subtitles, and more. 12 products in one connected workflow.
We're launching on Product Hunt tomorrow (May 6). This is my first time building in public — I've always been the behind-the-scenes engineer. Would love to connect with other makers here.
Happy to answer any questions about building AI products, content repurposing, or the journey from engineer to founder.

Hey Abhishek — this is a really strong founder story.
The fact that you’ve spent years building AI systems for video content gives Clipo a lot of credibility, but what stood out to me most is how practical the pain point is. One good video turning into hours of editing, clipping, captions, thumbnails, posts, and repurposing is exactly where so many creators and businesses get stuck.
I’m building in a related space with Traction, focused on helping small businesses turn content, visibility, leads, and follow-up into booked revenue, so I’m always interested in tools that make content creation less fragmented and more useful.
Congrats on launching tomorrow. I’d love to follow along and see how Clipo does on Product Hunt. Also curious — are you mainly targeting creators, agencies, or businesses using content for lead generation?
@caseygaskins Thanks Casey, really appreciate that.
To answer your question: right now we're focused on creators and small content teams — podcasters, educators, coaches, YouTubers who are already producing long-form content but struggling with the repurposing bottleneck. They know they should be on every platform but don't have the time or the tool stack to make it happen.
That said, agencies and businesses using content for lead gen are a natural next step. The voice-aligned LinkedIn and Twitter Studios especially, a business that wants consistent, authentic social presence without hiring a full-time writer is exactly who that feature is for.
Traction sounds like a really interesting complement actually. Turning content into booked revenue is the step after what Clipo does. Would love to check it out.
We go live tomorrow at 12:01 AM PT, would mean a lot if you checked it out: https://www.producthunt.com/products/clipo-ai-2?launch=clipo-ai-2
@abhishekr_ai Thanks, Abhishek — that makes a lot of sense.
The “repurposing bottleneck” is such a real problem, especially for people who already have good long-form content but can’t realistically turn it into clips, posts, carousels, thumbnails, and platform-specific copy every week.
And yes, I agree — Clipo feels like it handles the content creation/repurposing layer, while Traction is focused on what happens after that: how that content connects to visibility, leads, follow-up, and booked revenue.
I’ll definitely check out the launch tomorrow. Wishing you a strong Product Hunt day — excited to see how people respond to it.

Strong positioning 1 video → 20 assets is instantly clear and solves a real pain. The challenge will be quality vs quantity; if even a few outputs feel truly publish-ready, this becomes a no-brainer for creators.
