Fast.io

Hello Product Hunt community! 🙌

We’re excited to launch Fast.io, built by the MediaFire founders (Derek and me) to solve a massive problem plaguing today's AI tools: they can’t handle large-scale data or keep up with your team’s needs. Most AI is built for solo users - it stumbles over a few files, forgets everything when the chat ends, and leaves your team’s insights scattered across dead-end conversations. Fast.io changes that.

The Problem

Current LLM and AI analysis tools fall short. They’re capped at 20-30 files or stuck with basic RAG search, leaving SMBs struggling to unlock insights from their growing datasets. Your team’s knowledge is scattered, and existing solutions can’t keep up.

❌ Limits: Most tools fail beyond a few dozen files or pages - useless for real datasets.
❌ Basic Search: Simple RAG implementations can’t handle complex analysis or large-scale data.

❌ Document-Only Focus: Content comes in many formats; video, audio, and images often provide relevant context but aren't well supported, especially at scale.

❌ Knowledge Reset: Analyzing data is only a starting point; you are constantly learning and adding new knowledge, insights, and background.

The Solution

Fast.io is an AI hub built for SMBs to centralize and analyze large sets of multimodal data and save learned insights. Our agentic tools improve the more you use them.

✅ Analyze at Scale: Analyze thousands of files simultaneously, breaking past basic tools' limits in a team-focused multiplayer environment.

✅ Build your Knowledge: Your interesting analysis results and insights can be saved back into your knowledge set as Notes; these are pieces of knowledge that become part of your dataset, so you don't have to repeat the same knowledge each time you start a new chat.

✅ Structure Unstructured Data - Automatically extract metadata from your files - like contract value, dates, and keywords - to organize and categorize your data effortlessly.

✅ Agentic Analysis: Go beyond basic search with AI that uncovers patterns, trends, and answers across massive datasets.

✅ Any File Type: Upload and analyze documents, images, videos, audio, and beyond - unlock insights from all your data.

✅ Simple but Powerful: Our product is backed by best-in-class cloud storage. Our team model ensures simplicity, straightforwardness, and high security, and our integrated data rooms allow you to easily send and receive data with internal and external collaborators using the same AI tools.

Coming Soon

And there's more coming soon. We're grinding nights and weekends to add even more capabilities:

🚛 Data Importer - Easily upload large local datasets or import from your favorite clouds.

🤖 Workflow Automation - Automate even more of your work and establish processes for AI agents to perform as new data becomes available.

Imagine your AI assistant sifting through years of documents, images, and videos to spot trends - or your diligence team finding unusual patterns in their data, no matter the format. 

🦾 More Agentic Tools - We're constantly adding more agentic tools to improve analysis.

📝 Realtime Knowledge Editing - You can already save learned knowledge, but soon, we'll support multiplayer editing for key insights.

✅ Custom Metadata Templates - We already extract metadata. Soon, you'll be able to customize the automatically extracted metadata so it exactly matches your needs. This is perfect for managing large amounts of unstructured data across your cloud.

Fast.io is self-serve and ready for SMBs - no contracts, no hassle.

Our Journey

After serving millions with MediaFire, we faced a new challenge: connecting our team to AI with access to years of diverse data. Most tools couldn’t handle more than a few files or ignored non-document formats, leaving us frustrated. Fast.io is our answer - a platform that centralizes knowledge across any file type, scales to thousands of files, and unlocks AI’s true potential for SMBs. Early users are already saving hours and transforming how they work with data.
