Antfly is targeting the retrieval gap: AI teams otherwise have to stitch together vector and graph databases, rerankers, inference, memory, and synchronization pipelines to give agents context that is found, ranked, permissioned, and current. Its $2 million pre-seed round backs a unified alternative, and Visiting Media reports that three engineers indexed more than 100 terabytes of media and text in about 24 hours on Antfly.
