Poko Motion: Strong output economics; agency features still on the roadmap

About the show:

AFA is the podcast where AppSumo founders meet agency owners. Host Drew Rattray scores every tool against the Agency Viability Score (AVS) rubric — white-label depth, multi-client management, reseller viability, integration flexibility, and roadmap confidence — so agency listeners know what's actually worth buying. Learn · Launch · Scale.

Guest bio:

Kushal Poddar is the founder of Poko Motion (poko.video), a desktop app that turns a website URL, PDF, deck, or asset folder into a finished motion-graphics video for $5–8, rendered locally. It's his second venture — his first, an AI companion platform he scaled last year, burned through demo videos faster than any editor could deliver, so he built the editor out of the loop. Poko launched June 2, 2026 and sits around 4.5 on Trustpilot.

Key quotes:

"It's a total desktop app, everything stays locally, you don't need to upload anything on cloud, no data risk, nothing, everything stays local."

"More than 85% of our users are agency owners... they just scale their video production."
