Hey Product Hunt, My name is Shane and I started Air with Tyler Strand in 2017. Over the last three years we've built and rebuilt our product from scratch—and now we're finally ready to share our progress with all of you. Our goal with Air is to create a home for the creative process. We believe every modern company is beginning to operate like a media company, but the tools for collaborating with images and videos have not kept up. The "modern" stack is Dropbox/GDrive (cloud storage) or a complex DAM managed by the IT department. For end users, these tools lockup creative assets, and teams waste time (and money!) duct-taping together a text/Slack/email solution. Air is a workspace for teams and their visual work. Users import images and videos directly from cloud storage and Air automates organization with image and color recognition. "Boards" are used to pull together assets for a discussion or distribute content to partners while on-the-go. Today, thousands of users manage photo shoots, build light-weight presentations, and plan next month's campaigns with boards on Air. We hope Air will finally give users a space to think creatively. Signup through the link above and use code "PHTRIAL" to access our 30-day free trial. We'd really appreciate any and all of your feedback. A big, BIG welcome to life on Air! We're so excited for you to get started. Shane

I spend way too much time navigating 10 level deep image directories in Dropbox 🤦🏾‍♂️ Excited to use this to simplify my design workflows!
Shane Hegde
@vivek_nair We'd love to get you guys setup and running! The product pairs well with Figma and all the other cloud collaboration products.
Caitlin Bolnick
Huge fan of the Air product. From being able to search by color or item to a much easier schema for organization, Air makes managing photos, videos, etc. a breeze!
Shane Hegde
Thaaaaanks @caitlinbolnick1! Have loved learning about product lead growth tactics from you, Blake, and the OV team: https://openviewpartners.com/pro...
Nell Potter
We love using this Product at The Infatuation! Excited for your launch today and congrats to you and the team.
Shane Hegde
@saved_bythenell Thaaaaank you! We love our customers and it's been so much fun watching you and the team get started. Nick and the creative team have done an amazing job creating all of your restaurant imagery, and the feedback we've received from the partnerships and editorial team has really helped push us forward.

At IDEO we had this very problem with all of our visual assets so I'm excited there's a talented team improving the creative process here. I've seen Air evolve from the very beginning and continue to be impressed with their customer focus and product improvements. Tyler and Shane lead an incredible team and I'm excited that more companies will be able to use Air for their visual work!
Shane Hegde
Thanks @dominique_yahyavi! During our pilot 10% of customers were agencies/consulting firms and we loved learning from their experiences. Most notably that market really took to our mobile app: using Air to take pictures of presentations and whiteboarding sessions or to record user interviews for review with the team. Excited to see what other workflows users come up with after today's launch.

To me, this statement did it: "Cloud storage wasn’t built for creativity". Props to whoever was able to capture so much of the core value proposition with that statement. I experienced this problem both in my agency days as well as building products in-house. The amount of time wasted on file management and versioning is a tangible cost, and flow disruption, that creative teams can do without. Props to the Air team for tackling an important challenge. From afar, I see relevancy beyond creative workflows. Maybe the ?makers could chime in on that? Well done.
Shane Hegde
@el_martin We've been workshoping copy with customers for almost two years so your feedback really hits home. Thank you so much. Honestly. Our vision for this product has always been vast. Notion and Airtable are our biggest inspirations and we hope to approach visual workflows with a similar level of detail and design. While our story is just beginning we're excited to welcome Makers like you who will continue to push us forward.

I’ve watched Air transform since it first launched. Such an incredible product and team. @shegde is a top-notch innovator who is making creative collaboration fun, faster and frictionless.
Shane Hegde
Haha Kutz we both know I'm no innovator. But I'm so glad you're enjoying the product! The team has been grinding to make these improvements.
Danica Bunnett
Love this product. It perfectly solves our need! Sick of organizing files in dropbox with no easy way to preview! Great job!
Matt Ross
Seamless and easy to use and really reliable. Has that “magical” quality you rarely feel in a product
Shane Hegde
@mattrossatross means a lot sir. Hoping you and the Google team can keep finding uses for the product!
Jared Welker
I love using Air! It's helped our team @farmshelf work more efficiently by making it simple to find, organize, and use our assets. We would have been lost in our product pre-launch without @Air. Ditch the inefficiency of Dropbox & Drive and use @Air for your team ASAP!
Timothy Nordvedt
This application is so clean and functional. We were one of the beta tester companies and we love using Air for all our image storage.
Shane Hegde
Thanks @bellatimmy! We're stuck at home in New York and I definitely need to order a giant crate of wine from Bella! https://www.bellawinery.com/
Amanda Loyola
Love using Air - its interface really gets my creative juices flowing! It is so much more aesthetically pleasing than Dropbox, and allows me to more productively work in photo and video. Have been waiting for something like this to be released and am excited to keep using it in my day to day. Congrats on the launch!
Trevor Hyman
My team uses Air to manage our media and design assets for sharing across multiple projects. We were previously using a personal google drive account which needed work arounds and clumsy protocol for organizing and sharing. Air is completely improving our workflow! special thanks to Air team member, Brian N. for introducing us to the product and helping us get started.
Connor Norton
Air’s been awesome for keeping track of the endless files, photos, and clips I want easy access to. Excited to see it continue to grow!
Joe Ginley
Air is amazing. In my opinion, it's vastly better than Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. The ease of collaboration and the simplicity in link sharing to a wide audience is what makes Air so special. In addition, the customer service aspect is awesome. Anytime I need something, I know I can email Shane or Domenic or anyone else on their team and receive a quick response. Great people, great product.
Shane Hegde
@joe_ginley, we've loved seeing you and the crew at St. Ignatius use Air for your games, practices, and team shoots. Sports has become a huge category for us with Duke, Notre Dame, the NBA, and small rec and high school teams around the country like yours. We've honestly learned a ton from you and the team and I'm really excited to continue improving the product. Coming up next I think you'll love features like time stamped comments and video trim!
Frederick Arnold Stoutland III
Air’s platform is seamless and effective. Don’t sleep on this product, they’re making waves in the industry.
Evan Buckwalter
Great product! I’ve shot your link around to a few old coworkers who think this will be great for streamlining their processes. Keep innovating!
Brett Lieberman
Air has completely changed the game for my team. We are significantly more efficient and innovative because of this product. Air is the permanent home for our photo and videos!
Tamim Bazzi
Amazing product reflecting the hard work of an incredible team, core to the NYC startup community! @shegde
Alexander Lazar
I've been using Air since it focused exclusively on videos. I can't imagine having to go back to any of the other products I had to use before I found it.
