Poly, a startup previously focused on 3D asset creation, has introduced a new cloud-hosted file storage solution integrated with AI-powered search functionalities. This service enables users to consolidate their files in one location for efficient and comprehensive content retrieval across various formats, including text, images, audio, and video.
Founded by Abhay Agarwal and previously associated with Y Combinator, Poly’s shift in focus came after recognizing the growing demand for AI-driven file organization tools. By leveraging AI technology, Poly aims to address the common challenge users face in navigating and locating specific files within their systems.
Offering a free tier with 100GB of storage, Poly is now accessible on the web and Mac platforms, with a Windows version in development. The company’s decision to pivot towards cloud-based file management underscores the importance of efficient data organization in enhancing productivity and workflow optimization for users across different operating systems.
Backed by $8 million in seed funding led by Felicis and supported by investors like Bloomberg Beta and NextView, Poly’s innovative approach to file storage signifies a growing trend in leveraging AI for improving digital asset management and search capabilities.
