启动 HN：Poly（YC S22）– 文件光标
你好，世界！我是来自Poly的Abhay（<a href="https://poly.app">https://poly.app</a>）。我们正在开发一款应用，旨在用更智能、更易搜索的工具替代Finder/文件资源管理器。可以把它想象成Dropbox + NotebookLM + Perplexity，专为你的海量文件而设计。这里有一个简短的演示：<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsqCySU4Ln0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsqCySU4Ln0</a>。
Poly可以用自然语言搜索你的内容，支持多种文件类型，甚至可以精确到页面、段落、像素或时间点。我们还提供一个集成的代理，可以对你的文件执行操作，比如创建、编辑、总结和研究。你可以进行的任何操作，代理也可以执行，包括重命名、移动、标记、注释和整理文件。代理还可以读取网址、YouTube链接，并能够在网上搜索，甚至为你下载文件。
以下是一些你可以浏览的公共驱动（注意：目前在Safari上无法使用——抱歉！我们正在努力解决这个问题）。
<i>《全地球目录》的每一期</i>：<a href="https://poly.app/shared/whole-earth-catalogues">https://poly.app/shared/whole-earth-catalogues</a>
<i>旧版Playstation手册档案</i>：<a href="https://poly.app/shared/playstation-manuals-archive">https://poly.app/shared/playstation-manuals-archive</a>
<i>奥森·威尔斯访谈和广告片的小档案</i>：<a href="https://poly.app/shared/orson-welles-archive">https://poly.app/shared/orson-welles-archive</a>
<i>萨尔瓦多·达利为《爱丽丝梦游仙境》创作的画作档案</i>：<a href="https://poly.app/shared/salvador-dali-alice-in-wonderland">https://poly.app/shared/salvador-dali-alice-in-wonderland</a>
要试用它，请导航到这些公共文件夹之一，使用代理或搜索功能查找内容。上面的演示视频可以让你大致了解用户界面的工作方式。通过点击文件选择文件，按空格键快速查看，按cmd + i打开任何文件的详细信息。你可以从顶部中间的搜索栏进行搜索（或按cmd + K），所有搜索将使用语义相似性并在文件中进行搜索。或者使用右下角工具菜单中的代理（或按cmd + ?），你可以询问文件、让代理为你搜索、总结内容等。
我们决定在2022年3月推出早期图像生成公司后开发这个项目，意识到用户在存储、管理和搜索他们的库时面临的痛苦，尤其是在生成媒体的时代。尽管我们的服务当时已有超过150,000名用户，但我们意识到我们的真正使命是修复文件浏览器，使其更智能，因此我们在2023年关闭了服务，转而开发这个项目。
我们认为Poly非常适合那些希望有效利用文件的人，比如总结研究论文、寻找合适的媒体或资产、创建可分享的作品集、搜索特定表单或文档，以及制作报告和概述。当然，它也是组织生成AI资产的绝佳工具。或者仅仅用它来整理笔记、链接、灵感等。
在技术层面上，Poly建立在我们先进的搜索模型Polyembed-v1之上，原生支持跨文本、文档、电子表格、演示文稿、图像、音频、视频、PDF等多模态搜索。我们允许你通过短语、文件相似性、颜色、面孔和其他多种特征进行搜索。代理特别擅长使用搜索功能，因此你可以输入类似“找到我签署的最后一份租赁协议”的内容，它可以通过搜索、阅读前几个文件、如果没有匹配则再次搜索等方式来查找。但我们的嵌入模型的质量意味着它几乎总能在第一次搜索中找到文件。
它在网页和桌面上的工作方式相同，除了桌面版本会将你的云文件同步到一个文件夹（就像Google Drive一样）。在网页上，我们使用巧妙的缓存来支持离线功能和文件冲突恢复。我们付出了很大努力，使我们的系统比你现有的文件浏览器更快，即使你是通过网页浏览器使用它。
文件存储计划目前为：100GB免费套餐，付费套餐为2TB，价格为每月10美元，超过2TB部分每GB每月1美分。我们还对代理使用设定了不同套餐的速率限制。
我们很高兴在接下来的几个月中扩展许多功能，包括“虚拟文件”（将你的Google文档存储在Poly中）、从其他托管提供商同步、移动应用、代理的MCP生态系统、访问网页搜索和深度研究模式、离线搜索、本地文件支持（在桌面上）、第三方来源（WebDAV、NAS）等。
我们的候补名单现已开放，今天开始将邀请用户加入！请在<a href="https://poly.app">https://poly.app</a>注册。
我们也非常希望听到你对我们正在构建的内容的想法（和担忧），因为我们在这个旅程的早期阶段，你的反馈将对我们公司的未来产生重要影响！

Hello world, this is Abhay from Poly (<a href="https://poly.app">https://poly.app</a>). We’re building an app to replace Finder/File Explorer with something more intelligent and searchable. Think of it like Dropbox + NotebookLM + Perplexity for terabytes of your files. Here’s a quick demo: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsqCySU4Ln0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsqCySU4Ln0</a>.<p>Poly can search your content in natural language, across a broad range of file types and down to the page, paragraph, pixel, or point in time. We also provide an integrated agent that can take actions on your files such as creating, editing, summarizing, and researching. Any action that you can take, the agent can also take, from renaming, moving, tagging, annotating, and organizing files for you. The agent can also read URLs, youtube links, and can search the web and even download files for you.<p>Here are some public drives that you can poke around in (note: it doesn’t work in Safari yet—sorry! we’re working on it.)<p><i>Every issue of the Whole Earth Catalogue</i>: <a href="https://poly.app/shared/whole-earth-catalogues">https://poly.app/shared/whole-earth-catalogues</a><p><i>Archive of old Playstation Manuals</i>: <a href="https://poly.app/shared/playstation-manuals-archive">https://poly.app/shared/playstation-manuals-archive</a><p><i>Mini archive of Orson Welles interviews and commercial spots</i>: <a href="https://poly.app/shared/orson-welles-archive">https://poly.app/shared/orson-welles-archive</a><p><i>Archive of Salvador Dali’s paintings for Alice in Wonderland</i>: <a href="https://poly.app/shared/salvador-dali-alice-in-wonderland">https://poly.app/shared/salvador-dali-alice-in-wonderland</a><p>To try it out, navigate to one of these public folders and use the agent or search to find things. The demo video above can give you an idea of how the UI roughly works. Select files by clicking on them. Quick view by pressing space. Open the details for any file by pressing cmd + i. You can search from the top middle bar (or press cmd + K), and all searches will use semantic similarity and search within the files. Or use the agent from the bottom right tools menu (or press cmd + ?) and you can ask about the files, have the agent search for you, summarize things, etc.<p>We decided to build this after launching an early image-gen company back in March 2022, and realizing how painful it was for users to store, manage, and search their libraries, especially in a world of generative media. Despite our service having over 150,000 users at that point, we realized that our true calling was fixing the file browser to make it intelligent, so we shut our service down in 2023 and pivoted to this.<p>We think Poly will be a great fit for anyone that wants to do useful things with their files, such as summarizing research papers, finding the right media or asset, creating a shareable portfolio, searching for a particular form or document, and producing reports and overviews. Of course, it’s a great way to organize your genAI assets as well. Or just use it to organize notes, links, inspo, etc.<p>Under the hood, Poly is built on our advanced search model, Polyembed-v1 that natively supports multimodal search across text, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, audio, video, PDFs, and more. We allow you to search by phrase, file similarity, color, face, and several other kinds of features. The agent is particularly skilled at using the search, so you can type in something like “find me the last lease agreement I signed” and it can go look for it by searching, reading the first few files, searching again if nothing matches, etc. But the quality of our embed model means it almost always finds the file in the first search.<p>It works identically across web and desktop, except on desktop it syncs your cloud files to a folder (just like google drive). On the web we use clever caching to enable offline support and file conflict recovery. We’ve taken great pains to make our system faster than your existing file browser, even if you’re using it from a web browser.<p>File storage plans are currently at: 100GB free tier, paid tier is 2TB at $10/m, and 1c per GB per month on top of the 2TB. We also have rate limits for agent use that vary at different tiers.<p>We’re excited to expand with many features over the following months, including “virtual files” (store your google docs in Poly), sync from other hosting providers, mobile apps, an MCP ecosystem for the agent, access to web search and deep research modes, offline search, local file support (on desktop), third-party sources (WebDAV, NAS), and a whole lot more.<p>Our waitlist is now open and we’ll be letting folks in starting today! Sign up at <a href="https://poly.app">https://poly.app</a>.<p>We’d also love to hear your thoughts (and concerns) about what we’re building, as we’re early in this journey so your feedback can very much shape the future of our company!
