Fastio by VividEngine

Name: Fastio
Author: VividEngine

Turns your business files into answers, automated workflows, and finished work using natural language.

Most cloud drives are glorified filing cabinets. They hold your stuff, and that is about where the relationship ends. Fastio wants a bigger job.

The pitch is simple. Your files already hold everything your company knows, so Fastio reads them, acts on them, and gets work done on top of them. You ask a plain question, like which contracts renew in the next 90 days, and Ripley, the built-in AI, answers across thousands of documents and shows you the source. No opening files one at a time. No guessing.

Here is the part I find clever. You describe a routine in plain English, and your agent sets it up and runs it. Tell it that every new client gets an engagement letter sent for signature, then filed, then flagged for review. It maps your words to real steps, and you approve before anything runs. That is automation without the flowchart, and I think a lot of people have been waiting for exactly that.

Then there are Metadata Views, which might be the sleeper feature. Point them at a messy folder of scanned notices or contracts, write one sentence, and the AI pulls dates, parties, and dollar amounts into a sortable table. Handwriting included. It even suggests the columns. Suddenly, your pile of PDFs behaves like a database.

Fastio comes from the MediaFire team, so the storage muscle is real, and it shows in a media engine that streams 4K video right in the browser. It plays nicely with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor through a single connection, plus electronic signatures, branded client portals, and an audit log that records every move. Pricing is tiered, with a credit-based usage model and a 14-day trial. That lands a notch above the cheapest consumer drives, but it bundles things that Box and Dropbox usually sell as extras.

What might bug you? Credits do not roll over, and the security certifications reside with the infrastructure partners rather than Fastio itself. The product is young enough that polish and additional features are still arriving.

Our advice. Start with one annoying manual task you repeat every week. Describe it to the agent, watch a single real run, and decide from there.

What are the key features? ✨

Ripley AI: Built in agent that answers questions across every file in your workspace and returns citations to the source.
Metadata Views: Turns messy documents, images, and handwriting into a sortable database from a one sentence prompt.
Natural Language Workflows: Lets you describe a routine in plain English so your agent sets it up and runs it on every new file.
Bring Your Own Agent: Connects Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor through one MCP server with 19 consolidated tools.
Secure Collaboration: Gives project owned files, branded portals, scoped permissions, and an append only audit log for people and agents.

Who is it for? 🤔

Fastio fits teams that sit on piles of documents and waste hours moving, reading, and chasing them. Think law firms, accounting and finance groups, creative and video agencies, real estate and property developers, construction and manufacturing teams, and client service businesses that send files back and forth all day. It probably suits people who already lean on AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT and want those agents acting on real files instead of copied snippets. It also works for solo operators who want serious automation without hiring a developer, and for builders who need scoped, governed storage for the agents they create.

Examples of what you can use it for 💡

Legal teams: Pull parties, dates, and governing law from every matter into a sortable view, then route new contracts for signature and review.
Accounting and finance teams: Extract entities, periods, and balances from bank statements and P&L documents into one tracker.
Creative agencies: Publish deliverables to a branded client portal for approval, then file the final versions and notify the team.
Real estate and property developers: Turn a folder of scanned penalty notices and zoning letters into a queryable database with deadlines.
AI developers and builders: Give agents project scoped workspaces over MCP so they store, search, and hand off work to humans.

FAQs 💬

What is Fastio?

Fastio is an intelligent storage workspace that reads your files, answers questions across them, extracts structured data, and runs document workflows you describe in plain English.

Who builds Fastio?

Fastio comes from the team behind MediaFire, a large cloud storage platform, and the company is based in Houston, Texas.

Is there a free trial or a free plan?

Fastio starts with a 14 day Business Trial rather than a permanent free tier, so you can test real workspaces, portals, file AI, and agent connections before you pay.

What is Ripley?

Ripley is the built in AI agent that lives in your workspace, reads your files, and answers questions with citations across workspaces, shared folders, portals, and share links.

Which AI agents does Fastio work with?

Fastio connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and any MCP speaking agent through its MCP server, which exposes 19 consolidated tools.

What are Metadata Views?

Metadata Views turn unstructured files, including PDFs, images, and handwriting, into a sortable, filterable database from a one sentence description, with AI suggesting the columns.

Do I have to build the workflows myself?

No. You describe the process to your agent in plain language, and it assembles and runs the steps, so there is no flowchart to wire up.

How does Fastio keep my data secure?

Files are encrypted with AES 256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, access is scoped per workspace, and an append only audit log records every action by people and agents.

How is Fastio different from Dropbox or Box?

Fastio reads and acts on your files with native AI and agents instead of only storing them, and it organizes content around projects rather than individual accounts.

What happens when my trial ends?

On day 14 you choose a plan. If you do not, you get a 7 day grace period to view and export, after which the workspace becomes read only and export only, with no surprise deletion.
