Shade

Shade is a New York-based startup building a cloud storage platform designed for agencies, sports media teams, consumer brands, real estate companies, and podcasters. It aims to simplify the process of storing and searching large volumes of media files, especially in the context of accelerating content generation through AI. Key features include natural language search powered by auto-tagging that identifies exact moments in videos, automatic video transcription, facial recognition for labeled individuals, and a 'streamable' file system that allows immediate work on files without full downloads. It also facilitates team collaboration with timestamped feedback, file attachments in comments, customizable sharing links with varying permissions, and branded file collections for client deliveries.
