About

I run Holina Factory (holina.ai), an AI video and image studio for growing brands and marketing teams. Generate b-roll, clips, hooks and stills from any device, edit them with a full set of video editing tools, connect GoHighLevel, Canva and Slack, and ship straight to your social accounts. Pricing is upfront with no token math, and there is a 14-day trial. I'm here to share what we're building, learn from other makers, and hear from people who make short-form video for their brands.

I opened our invoices this morning... and closed them right away hehe

Claude Max for the whole team, the API on top for our agents, a few other tools here and there...

Quick poll for founders (and anyone who tests out new SaaS tools): do you ask for a credit card upfront, or let people straight in?

But I m genuinely torn here. A card wall definitely kills casual curiosity, especially when you're an unknown product. On the flip side, no-card trials often just give you vanity metrics that don't convert.

Hi PH, I'm John. Went from food trucks to running video models on my own GPUs

Hey everyone, I'm John, founder of EpochCore.

My last business was food. I started with one food truck, grew it into four brick and mortar locations, and my business partner bought me out in 2023. After that I learned to code through an IBM program on Coursera and I've been building in AI since 2025.
