VERDICT

Should I use Air?

AI that understands your brand, organizes your library, and scales creative while keeping humans involved where they matter most. - air.inc

Depends. Buy if your creative team is drowning in assets and wants AI tagging, visual search, and approvals in one place. Skip if you want cheap plain storage or can't justify a $600/month tier.

  • Anyone needing a simple, cheap file dump
  • Buyers wanting a stable pure DAM, not an AI-agent pivot
  • Solo creators — shared Drive or Dropbox covers it
