Hey Product Hunt, My name is Shane and I started Air with Tyler Strand in 2017. Over the last three years we've built and rebuilt our product from scratch—and now we're finally ready to share our progress with all of you. Our goal with Air is to create a home for the creative process. We believe every modern company is beginning to operate like a media company, but the tools for collaborating with images and videos have not kept up. The "modern" stack is Dropbox/GDrive (cloud storage) or a complex DAM managed by the IT department. For end users, these tools lockup creative assets, and teams waste time (and money!) duct-taping together a text/Slack/email solution. Air is a workspace for teams and their visual work. Users import images and videos directly from cloud storage and Air automates organization with image and color recognition. "Boards" are used to pull together assets for a discussion or distribute content to partners while on-the-go. Today, thousands of users manage photo shoots, build light-weight presentations, and plan next month's campaigns with boards on Air. We hope Air will finally give users a space to think creatively. Signup through the link above and use code "PHTRIAL" to access our 30-day free trial. We'd really appreciate any and all of your feedback. A big, BIG welcome to life on Air! We're so excited for you to get started. Shane

@saved_bythenell Thaaaaank you! We love our customers and it's been so much fun watching you and the team get started. Nick and the creative team have done an amazing job creating all of your restaurant imagery, and the feedback we've received from the partnerships and editorial team has really helped push us forward.

So much better to look at than Dropbox and Google Drive

@kathy_m_osborne really appreciate the feedback. We built Air specifically for visual workflows so it's great to hear folks respond to those expectations!
Caitlin Bolnick
Huge fan of the Air product. From being able to search by color or item to a much easier schema for organization, Air makes managing photos, videos, etc. a breeze!

To me, this statement did it: "Cloud storage wasn’t built for creativity". Props to whoever was able to capture so much of the core value proposition with that statement. I experienced this problem both in my agency days as well as building products in-house. The amount of time wasted on file management and versioning is a tangible cost, and flow disruption, that creative teams can do without. Props to the Air team for tackling an important challenge. From afar, I see relevancy beyond creative workflows. Maybe the ?makers could chime in on that? Well done.

@el_martin We've been workshoping copy with customers for almost two years so your feedback really hits home. Thank you so much. Honestly. Our vision for this product has always been vast. Notion and Airtable are our biggest inspirations and we hope to approach visual workflows with a similar level of detail and design. While our story is just beginning we're excited to welcome Makers like you who will continue to push us forward.

I spend way too much time navigating 10 level deep image directories in Dropbox 🤦🏾‍♂️ Excited to use this to simplify my design workflows!

@mattrossatross means a lot sir. Hoping you and the Google team can keep finding uses for the product!

My team uses Air to manage our media and design assets for sharing across multiple projects. We were previously using a personal google drive account which needed work arounds and clumsy protocol for organizing and sharing. Air is completely improving our workflow! special thanks to Air team member, Brian N. for introducing us to the product and helping us get started.
Tatum Bunnett

Incredible product. So easy to use and the visuals are great. John was very helpful!
Dominique Yahyavi
At IDEO we had this very problem with all of our visual assets so I'm excited there's a talented team improving the creative process here. I've seen Air evolve from the very beginning and continue to be impressed with their customer focus and product improvements. Tyler and Shane lead an incredible team and I'm excited that more companies will be able to use Air for their visual work!

Thanks @dominique_yahyavi! During our pilot 10% of customers were agencies/consulting firms and we loved learning from their experiences. Most notably that market really took to our mobile app: using Air to take pictures of presentations and whiteboarding sessions or to record user interviews for review with the team. Excited to see what other workflows users come up with after today's launch.
Joe Ginley
Air is amazing. In my opinion, it's vastly better than Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. The ease of collaboration and the simplicity in link sharing to a wide audience is what makes Air so special. In addition, the customer service aspect is awesome. Anytime I need something, I know I can email Shane or Domenic or anyone else on their team and receive a quick response. Great people, great product.

@joe_ginley, we've loved seeing you and the crew at St. Ignatius use Air for your games, practices, and team shoots. Sports has become a huge category for us with Duke, Notre Dame, the NBA, and small rec and high school teams around the country like yours. We've honestly learned a ton from you and the team and I'm really excited to continue improving the product. Coming up next I think you'll love features like time stamped comments and video trim!
Ayush Sood
Congrats on the public launch. Absolutely amazing. Sending loads of love!
