So much new stuff in Solara AI
Yuval Strutti
Hi 🙂
I have a lot of new stuff to show you in Solara AI, the app that edits what you film on your phone into a ready-to-post video. The biggest first.
Videos that grow your business
- Free to try
- Edits in one click: captions, b‑roll, sound
- Plans schedule posts to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X
- A teleprompter to film yourself
AI agents
You can now connect Claude, ChatGPT (on its Business plans) or another AI agent, like Grok Bot, to Solara.
Tell it “turn my recording into a video and post it Tuesday on Instagram”. Solara edits the video, your agent writes the caption, and you approve the post with one tap. Nothing goes out until you do. On the free try your agent can edit your videos and download your first; posting them needs a plan, as in the app.
In Claude it’s one step: add a custom connector with this address, then sign in to Solara: “https://api.solaraai.com/mcp”. Connect your AI agent, and see what your agent can do in Solara.
Work in a terminal? Run “npx solaraai login” and it shows you where to get your key, then checks it.
YouTube and X (Twitter)
One calendar now posts to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X.
On X you can post a video, up to four photos, just text, or a whole thread. Give X a caption of its own, and the preview shows the post as X will.
One video, as many posts as you like
Each post gets its own day, platforms, caption and first comment, so Tuesday’s TikTok and Thursday’s LinkedIn post can say different things. To post a video again, open its post in the calendar and tap Duplicate post.
New post is simpler too. Your accounts show up as their photos: tap the ones you want. Every platform gets its own format, so Instagram can get a Reel while Facebook gets a Story. To give one its own caption, tap its photo above the caption, then Customize for Instagram (or LinkedIn, or X). And the preview looks like each app.
A published Instagram, Facebook or TikTok post now links to where it can be seen. Posting a video Solara edited comes with a plan. See how posting and scheduling work.
A first comment on your post
Put your link or your hashtags in the first comment instead of the caption. On Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, Solara posts the comment right after the post; on X it goes out as a reply.
If the post goes out and its comment doesn’t, the calendar says so and offers Try again for the comment only. The post is never sent twice.
Connected Instagram or Facebook before November? Reconnect it once to add comments; it keeps posting in the meantime. LinkedIn needs nothing.
So what else is new?
- The calendar is new, on your computer and your phone, with Ready to publish for every finished video you haven’t scheduled. Read about the new calendar.
- Two new styles, Lens and Explainer, a Videos page for every video you made, and your first download free, in 1080p. Read about them.
- One video can now go to TikTok and LinkedIn in the same post, Instagram and TikTok photos are resized as they post, and disconnecting an account keeps your post history.
- Edits are faster. In our test, a 52-second iPhone clip was ready to start in 29 seconds instead of 55, and long exports finish in about half the time.
What should we build next? Tell us 🙂
