Connect an agent, bring your files, get answers you can check.

Fastio is a project workspace your agents can reach. Connect the assistant you already use, move the files you already have, and start asking questions about them.

Step 01

Connect the agent you already use.

Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client. Paste one config block, or install the CLI and let it run as a local MCP server. Your agent gets a set of tools for reading, writing, searching, and sharing files in the workspaces you allow.

    }

Step 02

Bring in the files you already have.

Four ways in, and you can use all four. Sync runs one-way or two-way, on a schedule or on demand, and nothing has to be reorganized first.

  • Keep a Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive folder in sync, or import individual files from Google Drive and others. Drive sync is coming soon. How sync and import work
  • The desktop app keeps a folder on your computer and a Fastio workspace in step, both ways, on Mac and Windows. Get the desktop app
  • Drag files and folders straight into a workspace in the browser.
  • Or let your agent write its own output into a workspace as it works.
Step 03

Ask questions, and see where answers came from.

Your files stop being a folder tree your agent has to guess at, and start being something it can read, cite, and pull data out of.

  • Ask a question about a workspace and get an answer that names the files it came from, so you can open them and check.
  • Pull typed fields out of a set of files: parties, dates, amounts, terms. You preview and approve before anything is saved. How extraction works
  • Files are indexed for search as they arrive, so your agent works from what is actually in the documents, not just their names.

Worked example

One client folder in, diligence questions answered.

A three-person consultancy takes on a diligence review. Here are the same three steps, on a real pile of client documents.

Step 01

The agent gets connected

The lead consultant adds Fastio to the assistant she already works in. Her two colleagues do the same in their own clients.

Step 02

The client folder comes in

Two years of the client's contracts and board minutes transfer over from their cloud storage, folders intact. A few scanned PDFs go up from a laptop.

Step 03

The questions get answered

Diligence starts. The team asks in plain language and reads answers that point back at the exact documents.

JM

Which of this client's customer contracts renew automatically next year, and who signed them?

Four contracts renew automatically in 2027. Three were signed by the client's COO, and one by a regional director whose signing authority is capped below the contract value.

Illustrative example. Names and documents are made up.

Access and oversight

You decide what your agent can reach.

Agents get access the same way people do, and everything they touch is on the record.

Five permission levels

Owner, Admin, Member, Guest, and View. People and agents use the same model, so access is one decision, not two.

Scoped agent tokens

Every agent connects with a token scoped to the workspaces you grant. It cannot reach anything you did not hand it.

A complete activity log

Every action by a person or an agent is recorded: what was read, what was added, what was shared, and when.

Encrypted, on certified infrastructure

Files are encrypted at rest and in transit, on infrastructure partners certified to industry-leading standards.

Put your files to work.

Connect your agent, bring a folder in, and ask it something.

The trial lasts 14 days and requires a card. Plans start at $29 a month. A real person can help with setup.
