Edgars Klavinskis

15+ years in smart-building automation — sales, account management,
product quality, and bridging customers with engineering teams.

Always been the translator: fixing broken workflows, pushing back
when things don't make sense, making sure clients get results instead
of excuses.

Now building two things:

ShapeLoop — a web tool that generates animated video overlays.

AILO — free AI literacy for normal people. Not prompt engineers. Not developers. Interactive tools that teach how to actually use AI without getting scammed or overwhelmed.

Solo founder from Latvia. Building in public.


ShapeLoop

ShapeLoop — animated video overlays in 30 seconds, no After Effects needed.

Most tutorial creators and video editors hit the same wall: you just need a pulsing rectangle around a button or an arrow pointing at a menu item, and suddenly you're deep in After Effects or spending 20 minutes keyframing something basic.

I built ShapeLoop to skip all that. Pick a shape, adjust style & animation, export a transparent video file, drag it into your editor's timeline. Done.
Works with DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, CapCut, Final Cut — any editor that supports overlay tracks.

  1. ShapeLoop

    Web tool that generates animated video overlays — highlight circles, pulsing rectangles, arrows, spotlights. Export transparent MOV or WebM, drag into any editor's timeline. No After Effects, no keyframing. Built for tutorial creators and video editors who need overlays fast.

    Building in public, 2025 — present MVP
  2. AILO — free AI literacy platform for beginners

    Interactive tools that teach normal people how to use AI: 1)AI Scam Checker: paste any "AI opportunity" and get an instant red flag analysis 2)AI Cheatsheet: one-page guide to asking better questions 3)Prompt practice with real examples. No video courses. No $299 masterclass. No "passive income" promises. Built for the mass of people who hear about AI daily but have no idea where to start safely.
