"One of the most common use cases to have come out of new-age AI models is to power natural language search and find files and other information quicker and faster. There are already several companies that allow you to connect different services to search through data. Now, a startup called Poly is launching a service that encourages you to dump all your files into one place so you can query them to find the right content."
""We interviewed our users and asked them what the pain points of their workflows were that could be solved by AI. Turned out that one big unmet need for users was organizing their file system. As a user, you have a lot of files on your computer, and it is hard to find stuff. We wanted to solve for that," Agarwal said."
Poly pivoted from a 3D asset generation product to a cloud-based file organizer that centralizes files for natural-language querying. The startup was founded in 2022 by Abhay Agarwal and Sam Young; Young has since left. The prior iteration shut down in 2023 and the team rebuilt the product in stealth. The service provides 100GB on its free tier at launch, is available on the web and Mac with a Windows version forthcoming, and is beginning waitlist-based onboarding. Poly raised $8 million in seed funding led by Felicis with participation from several venture investors.
