New on @thelandinglove today: Poly by @polydotapp
An AI-powered file browser for intuitive search and cloud hosting. It syncs with your local system.
Live website: poly.app/

Every week, we’re promising to launch at least one amazing feature to Poly. Full stop. This week, I brought receipts: complete raw image support.
All your raw photos, across nearly every camera, manufacturer, and file type. Full resolution previews. All metadata catalogued. Beautiful thumbnails. Completely searchable by text, similarity, and even color palette. Fully supported in agent conversations.
This is what it looks like when your file browser improves every week, not once every five years.

For context, Dave is a legend. But just correcting the record -- we didn't build this over a summer. It's been 2 years. In fact, we were the first company AI Grant invested in when they launched in 2022! Our batch included @perplexity_ai , @cursor_ai , @replicate , and @recraftai .

The file explorer always feels like something you and a couple of buddies could write over a summer.
It is not. But I wish them luck! Would be cool if they really advance the state of the art somehow!
For 40 years the file browser hasn’t changed.
Today, we’re launching with $8 million in seed funding to rebuild the file browser into something more intelligent, searchable, and delightful.
The world is in the middle of a data explosion. We’re generating and using more files than ever, but the apps we’re using to manage our files don’t even understand them.
It’s time for file browsers to become useful. When you search for “dog”, it should show you content with dogs in it, not just files with “dog” in the name! When you want to edit, convert, summarize, or organize a file, your browser should do that, too.
Your files tell the story of your life, but when you need a specific one, you usually can’t even find it anymore. Why can’t your file browser find it for you, or cross-reference it when you have a question? Prompting can give an LLM a million tokens of context. With Poly, you can give it the next trillion.
As long as we can afford it, all new users receive 100GB of free cloud storage. We can’t wait for you to try it out!

Not sure why, but this update feels genuinely exciting.
The idea of rebuilding something as fundamental as the file browser feels long overdue!
More power to you guys @Denizen_Kane @polydotapp

"We're living through a data explosion. And with it comes a file explosion."
That's why we at NextView backed @polydotapp, the intelligent cloud file browser for the generative age.

The file browser just got intelligent. Congrats to @Denizen_Kane & the @polydotapp team on launching from stealth with $8M to make every file searchable, understandable, & generative.
We’re proud to back founders building systems that move work forward: globenewswire.com/news-relea…

After almost two years in stealth, the Poly File Browser is finally coming to life. But if you haven’t been part of our private beta, you wouldn’t know how insanely productive this team has been. So today, we’ve begun sharing our release notes directly to the public.
