Polimake
Polimake organizes photo and video archives so assets can be found by describing their contents rather than recalling a filename or folder.
What Polimake is
Polimake organizes photo and video archives so assets can be found by describing their contents rather than recalling a filename or folder. For video, it searches spoken words, on-screen text, and imagery, and can locate a matching moment. When files are uploaded, AI generates descriptions, tags, and metadata about objects, scenes, and people; users can review and correct those results. Sharing supports separate permissions that can be revoked, and recipients can open links without accounts and download original-quality files. Polimake offers web access and a Windows desktop app. The desktop app works with local folders, can transcribe files locally with Whisper, and includes open-source video and graphics editors without a subscription. Invited collaborators can upload, review, and download within assigned projects without a subscription or payment card. Studio costs €89 per month, while Agency costs €159 per month, with storage and brand allowances differing by plan. The service also provides ChatGPT and Claude connectors, plus MCP and a public API described as preview or beta.
