Introducing Poly 2.0 — A Unified AI Workspace
After months of building, we're excited to unveil the next generation of Poly — new canvas, flow engine, and universal platform capabilities.
After months of intensive building, we're thrilled to announce Poly 2.0 — a complete reimagining of what an AI workspace can be. This release represents the culmination of feedback from thousands of users, countless engineering hours, and a fundamental belief that AI tools should adapt to how you work, not the other way around.
The Universal Canvas
At the heart of 2.0 is the Universal Canvas — an infinite workspace where you can arrange chat streams, research panels, code editors, documents, and more in a spatial layout that mirrors your thinking. No more tab switching. No more context loss. Just you and your ideas, supported by the world's best AI models.
The canvas is built around FrameNodes — windows that host live content from every section of the platform. A FrameNode can contain a chat conversation, a research stream, a spreadsheet, a kanban board, or an embedded web app. They resize, snap to a grid, and connect to each other with visual edges that represent data flow.
FlowEngine
The FlowEngine is our new orchestration layer — a DAG-based execution system that lets you define multi-step AI workflows and run them with thermal throttling, automatic retry, and full observability. Ship a research report, audit a codebase, or generate a financial forecast with a single command. Fifty-nine pre-built templates get you started in seconds.
Universal File Mesh
Under the hood, we've rebuilt the storage layer from scratch. The Universal File Mesh gives every file a poly:// URI — whether it lives in chat, research, office, or studio. Cross-section queries, bidirectional sync, and a unified link graph mean your data is finally treated as a first-class citizen.
This is just the beginning. Poly 2.0 sets the foundation for the next decade of AI-native productivity. We can't wait to see what you build with it.
