Get smart on it
Clipto is a startup that uses AI to make video, audio, image, and document files searchable across a user's computer without requiring cloud services. The company has raised funding at a $250 million valuation as larger tech companies like Adobe, Apple, and Google are also developing AI-powered search features for their own platforms. Clipto differentiates itself by allowing searches across multiple file types stored anywhere on a user's device and by enabling integration with AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude. The company's strategy reflects a broader question about whether AI-powered file search will become a standalone product category or simply a standard feature added to existing software.
