Fastio

The outside systems Fastio reaches on its own are a short, fixed list: Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and OneDrive folders synced one way or two ways or imported once over OAuth, plus files pulled in from any public URL. Agents work inside Fastio itself, searching, reading, writing, locking and sharing workspace files. There is no catalog of other business apps, custom tool registration or action framework, so an agent that needs to update a CRM or post to chat uses its own tools for that and Fastio only for files.

Fastio runs no workflows of its own. Several agents can share a workspace, with visible file locks showing who is writing, conditional writes that refuse to overwrite a newer version, and version history keeping every earlier copy.

Agent Intents let each agent post a short lived note of what it is working on so a peer sees a collision coming, and a comment thread can be assigned to a person or an agent.

Nothing sequences steps, branches on results or starts the next agent; the vendor's own answer to building workflows is that a customer describes the process to its agent, which runs the steps from the agent side.

With intelligence turned on, every file in a workspace is indexed as it arrives, embedded with Voyage AI and kept current, so agents and people search by meaning, such as contracts with indemnity clauses, and ask questions across the whole workspace with answers that cite specific pages. Metadata extraction pulls fields a team describes, like renewal dates, parties and fees, from any set of files into a table that can be filtered and sorted. Indexes are purged with deleted data, and the AI reaches only files the requester can already open.

Agents act within limits set in advance rather than waiting for sign off. Workspace scoped tokens confine an agent to one project, file locks and version history guard against bad writes, and agent sessions can be reviewed and revoked. Enterprise admins can turn off any AI feature, allow AI only in chosen workspaces, allow or deny MCP access for agents, and limit what API keys and OAuth apps may do. No step holds an agent's upload, edit, deletion or share for a person to approve before it takes effect.

Access is role based at the organization, workspace and share level and checked on every request, agents connect over OAuth with PKCE and scoped, revocable keys, and two factor sign in comes with every plan. Enterprise adds SAML and OIDC single sign on, SCIM, group to role mapping, verified domains, a compliance auditor role and a credential inventory. The trust center lists controls area by area, and Fastio is validated under Google CASA at Assurance Level 1, while a SOC 2 Type II audit is still in preparation.

Every action by people and agents, uploads, downloads, edits, shares and access, is recorded with the identity behind it, and agents can search the log or have it summarized through the event tools. Retention runs 30 days on Starter, 180 on Business and 365 on Enterprise, where the log also exports as CSV or JSONL and streams as signed events to a SIEM. Enterprise adds member activity and sign in history, sharing exposure reports and alerts for unusual download or deletion activity.

Workspaces persist between sessions, so an agent picks up where the last one left off from the files, notes and versions already there. Fastio's own team keeps a company brain workspace of plans, decisions and reference files that every agent reads first, and recommends the pattern to customers. MCP session state is held between calls. What carries over is the files people and agents choose to save, with no memory the agent writes about a user or task and no stated scope or lifetime for one.

Customer content is stored in the United States on servers and a network Fastio owns, in leased space at a data center with its own SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, behind a global edge network. No plan offers another region, a private deployment or a self hosted option. AI features may process content outside the United States, because the Gemini and Claude models run on Google Cloud's global endpoint, while files held temporarily for AI processing stay in the United States.

Beyond its built in assistant, Ripley, which answers across a workspace and can create notes and documents, Fastio ships no prebuilt agents, workspace templates or packaged workflows for a team to adopt. What it offers ready made is the plumbing for agents a team already runs: setup guides and plugins for Claude, ChatGPT and Codex, Grok, Cursor and Gemini, a skill OpenClaw assistants install from ClawHub, and the company brain pattern, a workspace of plans and reference files that a team fills in itself for its agents to read.

Agents keep their work current through the activity feed, which they can search and long poll for new uploads, edits and shares instead of checking in a tight loop, and receive links let outside people drop files into a workspace with a notice when they arrive. Agents reach Fastio from Claude, ChatGPT and Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok, OpenClaw and Hermes, as well as the CLI and desktop app. No schedule or outbound webhook wakes an agent when a file lands; the signed webhook stream on Enterprise carries audit events to a SIEM.

Ripley, the built in AI behind workspace answers, summaries and metadata extraction, runs on Gemini and Anthropic Claude models through Google Cloud's Vertex AI, with Voyage AI for search embeddings and Brave Search for web lookups, all chosen by Fastio. Customers cannot pick or switch the model behind those features. Teams that connect their own agents over MCP keep whatever model those agents already use, since Fastio only serves the files.

A REST API with published documentation, a CLI and a hosted MCP server over streamable HTTP expose the whole workspace. The MCP tools are consolidated by area: org_manage creates workspaces and transfers ownership, storage and storage_manage handle files, folders, versions and locks, upload_manage imports from URLs and cloud drives, ai_manage asks questions, share_manage builds shares and portals, and event tools read the activity log. Agents sign in with OAuth and PKCE or scoped tokens, and uploads reach 100 GB per file on Enterprise.

Nothing in Fastio tests agent behavior or scores answers. The closest material is the vendor's own published benchmark, in which one agent answered a contract renewal question across a 2,163 file corpus faster, with fewer tool calls and at lower cost than through Dropbox, Box, Google Drive or OneDrive alone. That measures Fastio as a file source, not a customer's agent, and the activity log shows what agents did without judging whether it was right.

Fastio does not drive a browser, desktop or remote computer for an agent. Browser agents built elsewhere can store their screenshots, receipts and exports in a workspace, and the desktop app lets people browse the workspaces their agents touch, but every agent action on Fastio goes through the MCP server, CLI or REST API rather than through a screen.
