Fastio Press Room
Everything journalists need to cover Fastio: the first agent-native content management platform, purpose-built for human team and AI agent collaboration.
Company Overview
About Fastio
Fastio is the world's first agent-native content management platform, purpose-built to extend the capabilities of the AI agents modern teams already rely on. It provides one platform for secure collaboration, cloud storage, data extraction, and workflow automation, where Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenClaw, and human teammates share the same file system, activity feed, and formal workflows.
Fastio is a product of VividEngine, LLC, the parent company that also owns and operates MediaFire. Together, VividEngine's platforms represent nearly two decades of cloud storage infrastructure expertise, serving hundreds of millions of users and processing over a billion file uploads every month.

Fact Sheet

Key Features & Differentiators
What makes Fastio different from legacy cloud storage platforms.
Zero Seat Tax
Purely usage-based pricing. Add unlimited users and AI agents without per-seat fees. A 25-user team pays $24/mo vs. $450+ on Dropbox or Box.
Agent-Native Architecture
Designed for agentic collaboration from day one, not a chatbot bolted onto a 20-year-old file server. Every capability a human has in the UI, an agent has too, and every action an agent takes is visible to its human teammates in real time.
251+ MCP Tools & Rust CLI
Native Model Context Protocol server with 251+ tools, plus an open-source Rust CLI so Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenClaw, and any agent can manage Fastio from your terminal.
Metadata Extraction
Metadata Views turns every file into a queryable database. Define custom schemas and Fastio auto-extracts structured JSON from images, PDFs, documents, and video, so agents parallel-process precise data at scale.
Intelligence Mode RAG
Ask questions across your entire workspace. Fastio's built-in RAG indexes every file for natural-language semantic search, chat, and citation-backed answers, for both agents and humans.
Reviews, Approvals & Worklogs
Humans or agents request approval on any file or folder. Append-only worklogs (no edits, no deletes) give compliance teams a tamper-resistant record of every human-agent handoff.
The Death of the Seat Tax
Fastio is the first fully usage-based, agent-native content management platform. No per-seat fees, ever. Add unlimited users and AI agents. You pay for the value you get, not the number of people (or agents) on your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs for Press
Who is Fastio built for?
Fastio is built for the hybrid workforce: people, AI assistants acting on their behalf (like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini), and autonomous agents with their own identities (via frameworks like OpenClaw, Manus, and Hermes). Whether you're a law firm doing diligence across hundreds of PDFs, a creative agency managing client deliverables, or a team running a fleet of autonomous agents, Fastio gives every collaborator, human or AI, a shared, permissioned environment to work in.
What does 'agent-native' mean?
Agent-native means every capability a human has in the Fastio UI, an AI agent also has, and every action an agent takes is visible to its human teammates in real time. Agents aren't a plugin or a sidebar, they're first-class members of the workspace with the same file tools, permissions, review workflows, and real-time presence as any human. Fastio was designed for agentic collaboration from day one, not a chatbot bolted onto a 20-year-old file server.
How is pricing different from competitors?
Fastio uses purely usage-based pricing with no per-seat fees. A 25-person team pays $24/month, saving 93% vs. Google Drive ($350/mo), 95% vs. Box ($500/mo) and Dropbox ($450/mo), and 96% vs. Egnyte ($550+/mo). That $24/month doesn't change when teams add AI agents instead of humans.
What is MCP and how many tools does Fastio expose?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents interact with external tools and data sources. Fastio ships a native MCP server with 251+ tools, meaning AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and OpenAI Codex can directly upload, download, search, and manage files in your workspace, no custom integration needed. An open-source Rust CLI lets agents manage everything from a terminal too.
What is Metadata Views?
Metadata Views turns every file in a workspace into a queryable database of structured fields. Agents and humans define custom schemas, and Fastio automatically extracts clean, structured JSON from unstructured content across images, PDFs, documents, video, and more. Instead of searching by filename, teams query their files by the actual information inside them, and AI agents can parallel-process precise, structured data at scale.
Why now, what's the market opportunity?
The February 2026 'SaaSPocalypse' erased $285 billion in SaaS valuations as businesses rejected per-seat pricing. At the same time, AI agents are becoming standard team members: platforms like Claude and Gemini act on users' behalf, and frameworks like OpenClaw, Manus, and Hermes give agents their own identities. Legacy storage platforms weren't built for this reality, they charge per seat, can't handle agent identities, and bolt AI on as an afterthought. Fastio was built from scratch for this moment.
Can we interview the team?
Yes. Reach out to press@fast.io or call 1-833-FASTIO-8 and we'll arrange an interview with our co-founders or product team. We're happy to discuss the product, the market, or the technical architecture.
Where can we find logos and screenshots?
Our press kit is available as a shared Fastio workspace. It includes logos in SVG and PNG (light and dark variants), product screenshots, and brand guidelines. Visit the Screenshots section on this page or contact press@fast.io for custom assets.
