A file store with a connector for AI
Folders, versions, share links and a web app for people. An MCP connector and a REST API that give every AI the same access to the same files.
A file store built for AI. Connect claude.ai → Claude Code → your agents → and they work in the same files you do.
Every change on record. Less context than a local folder. Your files stay files.

The product
Olifant gives the AI tools you already use a shared, permanent place for files: your trunk. Connect it once, and claude.ai, Claude Code and your own agents can find, read, edit and save files on your behalf, PDFs, images and Office documents included. You keep working the way you do today: in folders, with versions, from any device.
Folders, versions, share links and a web app for people. An MCP connector and a REST API that give every AI the same access to the same files.
Works today with claude.ai and Claude Code through MCP. Every tool is also a REST endpoint with API keys for your own agents. Other MCP clients are planned and will be listed once tested.
Every save is a version with who made it, which AI and why. Compare, restore, or undo everything one AI did since a given time. A year of history on every plan.
Upload, folders, search, a markdown editor and previews for PDFs, images and spreadsheets. Designed for the phone first.
Share a file or folder with a link or a QR code, with an expiry you set.
One shared store for up to six people, or per-seat Business plans beyond that. Shared by default, with private folders where you want them.
One card for each AI you have connected: what it can reach, everything it did, and an undo button.
Why Olifant
Cloud drives were designed for people. Their AI connectors wrap that design, and the AI pays for it in context, tokens and extra steps. Olifant is designed around how an AI reads, searches and edits.
01 · Efficiency
Every tool an AI loads and every file it reads takes space in its context window. Olifant keeps that footprint small: nine compact tools, a ranked map of the store in the first call, search that returns the matching lines, and reads by range or section instead of whole files.
Measured on blind tasks, an AI on Olifant used less than half the context it needs in a local folder, and passed more of the tasks.
Illustrative. Tool definitions for Dropbox (24 tools, estimated) and Olifant (9 tools, measured) and the local-folder ratio come from our benchmark. The Google Drive and OneDrive bars, and the connectors' call volumes, are placeholders until we measure them.

Measured on Oct 24, 2026, with Claude Sonnet on a test store of 456 files: 18 tasks the system had not been tuned on, five runs each. Context is what the AI's tool calls and results add to its window. The method and the tasks will be published at launch.
02 · Understanding
The connector describes itself the way an agent expects: short tool names, clear parameters, and results that carry what the next step needs. A listing comes ranked by importance, with a one-line description of each file. A search returns the files and the lines that match. Dates, sizes and authors are always there.
An agent that does not have to guess does not have to retry. Fewer steps, fewer tokens, and answers you can check.

Privacy and control
Files are stored on DigitalOcean Spaces in Singapore and backed up at a second provider, also in Singapore.
We do not train models on your files, sell them, or show ads. This site sets no cookies and runs no trackers.
Every version is kept for a year with its author. Restore any version, or undo what one AI did.
Download everything as a zip whenever you like. If you delete your account, your files are deleted on the timelines in the privacy notice.
Pooled across the account, history included, with files up to 1 GB each. Enough for the files you and your AIs work on.
An AI reads only the store you connect it to. Share links expire when you say. Team members choose which folders stay private.
Pricing
Prices in US dollars, before tax. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies. Connected AIs, API keys and devices do not take a seat.
Members added during a billing period are charged pro rata. A member removed mid-period is credited at the next renewal. A seventh person means switching to Business.
The yearly plan has no trial and starts paid. On Family/Team, members you invite during the trial are free until the first renewal.
