Who Sery is built for
Three scenarios — each with its own mock of what Sery looks like in that life. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Data scattered across S3, SFTP, Drive, and B2 finally lives in one app
Free forever (unlimited sources, fully offline) · $19/mo for AI chat across all sources
A backend engineer at a Series B SaaS. Daily-driver MacBook. Company S3 bucket for analytics dumps. Personal Backblaze B2 for off-site backup. A side-project SFTP archive on a Hetzner box. A Google Drive folder of receipts. They reach for four different tools every day.
The AWS Console is slow and per-bucket. Cloud-storage browsers show file lists but can't preview a Parquet without downloading 1.4GB. Drive web is fine for documents, useless for tabular data. No single tool searches across all of them, let alone runs SQL on remote bytes.
Install Sery Link — your private data agent on the desktop. Connect every storage in five minutes, credentials in the OS keychain, never on Sery's servers. Click any Parquet on S3 → schema and sample rows render in 2s by reading only the Parquet footer over the wire. Search 'customer_id' → hits across S3 + SFTP + Drive simultaneously.
Four tabs of cloud-storage UIs replaced with one app. Preview without downloading. Run SQL on remote bytes. Files never leave the storage they live in.

Scattered files across machines finally talk to each other
Free covers each machine's agent · $19/mo unlocks AI + cross-machine
A senior designer at a Series B startup. MacBook for work, Windows desktop at home, Synology NAS for photos and backups. Every Sunday night they're hunting across three machines for something they wrote three months ago.
OS-level file search only sees one machine. Sync-style cloud storage wants to upload everything. They long ago abandoned tools that put tax documents on someone else's server.
Install Sery Link on each machine — same agent features as the developer scenario, plus pair the machines with one workspace key. Ask questions from any device at app.sery.ai/chat: 'find my 2024 accountant letter' or 'how much did I spend on flights last year?' Answers assemble across every machine AND every connected source.
Files never move. The machines they already owned finally act like one system — one search bar, one answer assembled across all of them. Cross-machine search is the natural upgrade from gateway adoption.
A 3-person practice shares a brain without sharing a drive
Plus today (5 invited machines on one bill) · Team tier when validated
A partner at a small CPA firm. Two juniors work from home and the office interchangeably. Clients email sensitive exports. Tax season means quarterly panic to reconcile client data spread across three laptops plus the office file server.
Dropbox Business sees every file but can't answer questions. Building a shared database is a year of work they won't do. Clients will absolutely not tolerate their financials going anywhere near a third-party cloud AI.
Install Sery on every partner's machine and the office server. Workspace-level recipes for common client questions ('which clients haven't sent Q3 data?'). Partner dashboard shows which machines are connected, who's online, who queried what, when.
Client-specific answers without a single file leaving anyone's laptop. Audit log shows exactly who queried what, when.
Where this goes next
Vertical SaaS companies that embed Sery instead of building their own AI layer
Once Sery is deployed across enough verticals, the SaaS vendors those customers use — specialty CRMs, discovery platforms, compliance tools — start asking: can we embed Sery in our product so our customers get the AI layer without us having to build 18 months of infrastructure? That's the platform tier.
Embed SDK + public API arrive in 2029. Partner program details on the contact page for early-interest conversations.
