I’ve been building Magiclip, a tool that helps creators and businesses turn long videos (YouTube, podcasts, interviews, gameplay) into short-form viral clips automatically.
The problem
Repurposing content is extremely time-consuming:
Watching hours of footage
Finding the right moments
Adding subtitles, hooks, formats
Reposting everywhere
Most creators know they should do it — but don’t.
What Magiclip does
You upload a video → Magiclip:
Detects engaging moments
Generates short clips
Adds clean subtitles
Optimizes them for TikTok, Reels & Shorts
No editing skills required.
Why I built it
I was doing this manually for my own content and client projects. I wanted a one-click pipeline instead of 2–3 hours per video.
I kept seeing founders stuck for weeks on branding before even shipping an MVP.
So I built Brandolia — an AI that generates a complete brand identity in ~60 seconds.
You enter:
Brand name
Industry
It generates:
Logo
Color palette
Typography
Slogan
Brand storytelling
Marketing angles
No designers. No prompts. No endless iterations.
This started as an internal tool for my own SaaS projects… then friends asked for access… then it turned into a product.
We’re building Brandolia.io, an AI tool that generates complete brand identities from a simple brief.
Instead of producing isolated assets, Brandolia focuses on coherence:
logo, color palette, typography, brand voice, storytelling, and a ready-to-use brand structure.
The problem we wanted to solve was simple:
Most founders either spend weeks stitching branding pieces together — or skip branding entirely.
Brandolia is designed to:
Give a clear starting point
Save time at the very beginning of a project
Produce something usable, not just “inspiration”
We didn’t try to build a design replacement.
We built a brand foundation generator.
Still early, still improving, but it’s already changing how people approach the first step of building a company.
Happy to hear feedback from builders and designers.
Over the past few months I’ve been building something I needed myself:
an AI that can create a complete brand identity from scratch — not just a logo, but an entire visual + strategic system.
It’s called Brandolia.io.
Instead of hiring a designer + strategist + copywriter, the tool generates:
a full logo (vector-style or realistic)
color palette
typography suggestions
slogan & value proposition
a brand story
social media content
and a downloadable brand identity document
All in ~30 seconds, from a single prompt.
Why I built it:
I noticed many entrepreneurs (especially early-stage founders, freelancers, students, micro-brands) don’t have the budget or the time to hire an agency, but still need a clean, coherent identity to look credible.
A few technical notes for the curious:
Logos are generated via a custom pipeline using GPT-image models
Copy (slogan, tone, story, tagline, etc.) is built through layered GPT-4 prompts
The brand book is compiled on the fly and exported as HTML/PDF
There is rate-limiting, token accounting, and Supabase functions to keep costs predictable
The goal is to feel like a “mini branding agency” running fully on AI
I’ve been experimenting with Sora 2 and built a small workflow that injects short Sora-generated scenes into clips to boost retention.
Pipeline:
Take any long video.
Detect highlights automatically.
Generate 4-8s Sora scenes based on punchlines.
Insert them in the right moment.
Export as ready-to-post short videos.
It works surprisingly well for explaining abstract concepts (marketing, psychology, storytelling).
Retention increases were noticeable for most early testers.
If anyone wants to see how the workflow behaves in practice, you can test the integration here:

Curious if others are using Sora 2 in production pipelines — happy to exchange ideas
I built Brandolia.io, an AI tool that generates complete brand identities in a few minutes.
You enter the business name + description, and it creates:
A custom logo
A full color palette
Typography suggestions
A slogan & brand story
Social media content
A website draft
A downloadable brand book
The goal is simple:
Help small businesses, Shopify sellers, and new founders get a professional brand identity without paying hundreds or waiting weeks.

I’ve been building a small tool called Brandolia, originally for myself because freelancers and small businesses around me kept asking for logos, color palettes, storylines, names, etc.
Instead of generating just a logo, the tool builds an entire brand identity automatically:
logo
color palette
typography
brand story + slogan
positioning
visual guidelines
landing page text
social media starter kit
All in less than a minute.
I built it solo (Supabase + OpenAI + Deno Edge Functions + a lot of prompt engineering), and I was surprised by how many non-technical users struggle with branding even more than with website creation.
Brandolia now has a few thousand users, and I'm trying to understand if there’s a real market demand for “full brand identity generation” vs. “just logo generation.”
I’d love feedback from HN on:
Whether this solves a real problem you’ve seen yourself or in your company
What features would actually matter to make it useful long term
Whether automated branding can coexist with design agencies or will always stay a niche tool

(would appreciate critical feedback on UX, speed, and consistency)
I built Brandolia.io, an AI tool that generates a full brand identity from just a name and a sector.
It creates:
Logo
Color palette
Typography
Slogan
Storytelling
Brand positioning
The goal was to remove the friction between an idea and a professional brand.
This started as a personal problem: branding takes time, money, and coordination.
I’m building this in public and would love feedback from founders, designers, and marketers.
