Poly: AI Texture Engine

Poly — The Intelligent Cloud Image Browser

Poly is a smart cloud-based file browser designed for the generative age. It lets you store, browse, search, and share your image library with multimodal AI that understands your content. You can search by natural language, by image, or by a combination of both, and Poly will interpret your queries to locate relevant files and metadata quickly.

How it works

• Multimodal AI understands your image library and helps you find what you need through natural language queries, image-based search, or a mix of both.
• It offers fast previews, real-time updates, and a create-your-view experience that helps you customize how you browse and edit.
• The platform emphasizes rapid navigation through thousands of images with features like waterfall previews, side-by-side comparison with metadata, and instant sharing.

Core experiences and view modes

• Beautiful layout modes designed for fast viewing and customization
• Preview mode with lightning-fast image previews and tools to pan and zoom
• Waterfall view for navigating large image sets
• Spaces and sidebars to add files, folders, and search queries for quick access
• Public sharing that lets you showcase creations via secure web links without requiring login
• Real-time updates, browser plugin, and auto-import from generative tools
• Hyper-fast previews, spacebar preview, and instant file peek
• Notes, text snippets, and searchable metadata for better organization
• Split view to compare images side-by-side with metadata
• Folder drag-and-drop with batch actions for organizing thousands of files
• Conflict-free synchronization to keep files updated across tabs and devices
• A data model designed to prevent sync issues and ensure consistency

How to use Poly

1. Join the waitlist or log in to access your cloud image library.
2. Import or connect your image collections and generative tools.
3. Use natural language or image-based search to locate files (e.g., "show all landscape images from 2023" or upload a reference image).
4. Preview, organize, and share your files using drag-and-drop, batch actions, and public links.
5. Explore spaces, notes, and metadata to manage your library efficiently.

Safety and privacy considerations
