Polyvia 1

Polyvia 1 ships as two products: the Polyvia API (Multimodal Document Retrieval API, for developers of AI agents) and the Polyvia Platform (Search & Exploration over multimodal docs, for knowledge workers in enterprises).

​
Polyvia API

  • REST API v1 — ingest, documents, groups, query, usage, and rate-limits. Async ingestion with task polling; query workspace-wide, by group, or per document, with grounded citations.
  • Python SDK — pip install polyvia. Typed sync and async clients, batch ingestion, idempotent groups, and structured error handling.
  • TypeScript SDK — npm install polyvia. Fully-typed, ESM/CJS, for Node and modern JS.
  • MCP server + agent tools — connect Polyvia to Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients; first-class helpers for agent frameworks and LangChain.

​
Polyvia Platform

  • Better document processing — large documents process reliably and much faster, with live uploading & parsing progress on each card while ingestion runs, and bigger uploads (up to 50 MB).
  • Better chat — smooth streaming and reliable citation links.
  • Office & Google docs + images — upload Word, PowerPoint and Excel (DOCX / PPTX / XLSX) alongside PDFs and images.
  • Faster, smoother viewer — PDFs open quickly and scroll without stutter.
  • Knowledge graph view — see entities, claims and evidence extracted from your docs. Filter by group, and click any claim to jump to its source page in a side panel.
  • Settings + API access — a Usage tab showing pages, queries and API calls (this month and lifetime).
  • Integrations (WIP) — connect Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive / SharePoint, Amazon S3, Notion and Slack. Notion and Slack use per-user OAuth, so each teammate signs in with their own account. All sources appear in a unified Import dropdown on the Documents page.

Start in the quickstart

Index your first document and query it in a couple of minutes.
On the roadmap: more integrations out of WIP and expanded ingest types (CAD, heatmaps, molecular). Follow along on the blog.
