About Fastio
Fastio gives each project one workspace for its files, its team and its AI agents. Teams bring in the source files, add the people working on them and connect the agents they already use, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor. An agent can find material, read files and, with write access, save new work where teammates can review it. Files, comments and version history stay with the project.
Fastio is a product of VividEngine, LLC. The team started building Fastio in 2021 and launched it on March 21, 2025. VividEngine was founded in 2006 in The Woodlands, Texas, and is also the company behind MediaFire, which has more than 100 million registered users.

Fact Sheet
Product
Key Features
What a team and its AI agents can do in a Fastio project workspace.
Project workspaces
Each project gets its own workspace with its own members and permissions. The organization owns every workspace, so the files stay with the project when people come and go.
Agent access you choose
Choose which workspaces an agent connection can reach and whether it is Read Only or Read & Write. With write access, an agent saves its work back to the project for the team to review.
Works with the agents you use
Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok Bot or any MCP client. ChatGPT, Codex and Grok Bot connect through the Fastio plugin. Setup and available features vary by client.
Keyword and semantic search
Search a workspace by keyword. With Deep Indexing turned on, people and agents can also search files by content and meaning once the files finish processing.
Metadata extraction
Describe the fields you want, and Fastio extracts them from the files you choose into a table you can sort and filter.
Cloud Sync
Sync Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and OneDrive folders with a workspace, one-way or two-way, on a schedule or on demand. Teams can start with one project's files instead of migrating everything.
Branded shares, portals and e-signatures
Send work out through branded shares and portals that recipients open without an account, and send documents for e-signature from the workspace.
Version history and activity log
Every file keeps its earlier versions, so a previous version can be restored. The activity log records uploads, edits, moves, deletions and permission changes by people and agents.
CLI and REST API
The Fastio CLI (@vividengine/fastio-cli on npm) and the REST API let developers and agents work with workspaces from a terminal or their own code.
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Fastio's built-in AI, and the providers that run it, do not train models on customer files. Read the Trust Center.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs for Press
What is Fastio?
Fastio gives each project one workspace for its files, its team and its AI agents. Teams bring in the source files, add the people working on them and connect the agents they use. An agent can find material, read files and, with write access, save new work where teammates can review it. Files, comments and version history stay with the project.
Who is Fastio for?
Project teams bringing AI agents into everyday work, especially agencies, consultancies and professional services firms. A team can start with one client engagement, campaign or internal project and the files, people and agents it needs.
Which AI agents work with Fastio?
Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok Bot and any other MCP client. ChatGPT, Codex and Grok Bot connect through the Fastio plugin, and other clients connect to Fastio's hosted MCP server. There is also a CLI (@vividengine/fastio-cli on npm) and a REST API. Setup and available features vary by client.
What can a connected agent access or change?
Only what you allow. You choose which workspaces a connection can reach and whether it is Read Only or Read & Write. A Read Only connection cannot change files. A Read & Write connection can save new work and make changes within its permissions. Whether the client asks for approval before acting depends on the client and its settings.
Does a team have to move all its files into Fastio?
No. Cloud Sync keeps Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and OneDrive folders in sync with a workspace, one-way or two-way, on a schedule or on demand. Teams can also upload files directly, so they can start with one project's files.
How is Fastio priced?
Starter, Business and Enterprise plans include seats, storage and monthly AI credits. Plans include 3, 10 or 30 seats, and Enterprise can add seats up to 200. Additional usage can incur charges. Monthly plans start with a 14-day trial, and a card is required. If you use all your included trial credits before the trial ends, you'll be automatically upgraded to a full subscription. Annual plans have no trial. Current prices are on the pricing page at fast.io/pricing.
Does Fastio train AI on customer files?
No. Fastio's built-in AI, and the providers that run it, do not use customer files, conversations or metadata to train models. If a team connects an external agent, that agent provider's own policies apply to what it reads. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. The Trust Center at fast.io/trust has the details.
How do Fastio, VividEngine and MediaFire relate?
Fastio is a product of VividEngine, LLC. The team started building Fastio in 2021 and launched it on March 21, 2025. VividEngine was founded in 2006 in The Woodlands, Texas, and is also the company behind MediaFire, which has more than 100 million registered users.
Can we interview the team or see a demo?
