Where it started
Matt Theriault runs Epic Real Estate, and its YouTube channel has 359K subscribers. In his words: "I used to teach offense in real estate. Now I'm teaching defense." His Shorts are about defending a household: property taxes, probate, banks and gold. In the month before he started with Solara AI, he posted 10 of them.
He chose Solara AI after trying other tools
Matt tried other editing tools before he chose Solara AI. He started on 9 October 2026, and on 18 October he upgraded to Premium himself.
“I tried multiple platforms before choosing yours.”
“Seriously, you were better (cleaner) than SubMagic and Captions.”
His AI agent runs the edits
Matt connected his AI agent to Solara AI. The agent uploads his takes, has Solara AI edit them and exports the finished videos. A week after he started, he was out of the process.
“It's made my workflow almost hands-off.”
“What a world we live in.”
Your AI agent can do the same. Connect it to Solara AI, and it uploads your takes, edits them and exports the videos: see how.

7× more engagement on his Shorts

Most of the growth came from posting far more often, which Solara AI made possible. Per Short, engagement stayed about the same: 113 likes and comments a Short before, 123 after.

Built with Matt
Matt asked for three things, and Solara AI does all three now: pauses he sets the length of, speed changes that keep his voice at its own pitch, and 16:9 landscape videos. Landscape shipped on 21 October, five days after he asked. Other owners post with it too: The Missing Piece, a life coach, and Maison Remodeling Group.
