The InfoApp file format represents over a decade of intensive R&D to achieve perfection. It seamlessly combines traditional document design with interactive app-like UI/UX functionality into a single HTML file. While the web has revolutionized the publishing of newspapers, magazines, retail catalogs, and more, this advancement has largely bypassed the realm of traditional documents, which number in the trillions.

With the InfoApp file format, users can enjoy an experience comparable to what they encounter with web and mobile apps. A key aspect of this innovation is its portability akin to PDF files. InfoApp files can be distributed as attachments or seamlessly embedded within web and mobile applications. 

In contrast, HTML files containing images, text, data, CSS, and other elements are typically distributed as folders with multiple files. These file folders pose challenges—they are impractical for emailing, require technical expertise to embed in web and mobile environments, and are susceptible to display issues due to broken links to underlying files.

Creators now have the ability to achieve flawless layouts by precisely positioning, sizing, and styling every element to their exact specifications. This level of control is especially crucial for branded customer-facing content, financial statements, regulatory reports, and other critical documents where precision is paramount.

Pixel-perfect design is essential for enhancing the design workflow, providing a natural and intuitive experience akin to freehand painting on a canvas. StoryBench, our pixel-perfect design canvas, empowers creators with unparalleled flexibility and precise control over layout, fostering a seamless and efficient design process. StoryBench represents a unique Web3 technology that can be seamlessly integrated into any platform or utilized in the cloud, revolutionizing HTML design capabilities.

We have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in business intelligence (BI) technology by developing a highly efficient and compact In-Document BI engine that rivals the capabilities of expensive, resource-intensive traditional BI servers. This innovation in miniaturization is reminiscent of Sony’s transformation of the cassette player into the Walkman and Apple’s revolution of the computer with the iPhone.

The significance of this innovation lies in its integration directly into portable documents independent of servers and backend technologies. Our miniaturized BI engine democratizes the distribution of analytical content, requiring only a web browser for access. Users no longer need software licenses or plugins to view, interact with, and analyze data within documents.

With In-Document BI, vast volumes of data that were previously challenging to package in PDFs, PowerPoints, and other formats can now be compressed onto a single page, accessible to users for enhanced transparency and analysis. This advancement marks a pivotal shift in how data-driven insights are delivered and consumed, empowering users with streamlined access to comprehensive analytics within familiar document formats.

The next frontier in AI democratization, as highlighted by Reid Hoffman, co-founder of PayPal and LinkedIn, is personal AI. Recognizing this emerging trend early, we embarked on a transformative journey to embed AI directly within documents, empowering users to instantly retrieve answers, generate section summaries, and access additional data from the web or company repositories. This innovation expands the document’s functionality to encompass a vast array of information sources, breaking down traditional silos and enhancing accessibility to critical insights.

Moreover, we understand the importance of data collection and leverage in-document AI to streamline the creation of data collection applications. With StoryBench business users can intuitively design forms tailored to their data needs without requiring IT to develop backend data systems. Our AI automates this process seamlessly, similar to generating an image from a prompt—eliminating the need for specialized design skills.

This groundbreaking innovation transforms documents into dynamic hubs of AI-driven capabilities. It empowers users to harness the full potential of AI within familiar document formats, driving efficiency and productivity across diverse use cases and industries.

High file compression has always been as important in software development as increasing computing power. Thanks to Moore’s Law, we have extremely powerful computers. Thanks to ZIP, file sharing became a standard for distributing information, although it’s a bit cumbersome. Smaller file sizes make files more accessible and shareable.

Our significant breakthrough achievement is creating files that contain large amounts of data yet are smaller than both PDF, Excel and other files, while still offering full interactivity both online and offline. 

Imagine the impact of packaging hundreds or even thousands of pages of content into a single interactive document. With this innovation, you can store 20 years of bank statements in a small file, much like carrying a thousand songs on an iPod in your pocket. This allows you to access valuable data directly from attachments on your phone without worrying about storage space or computer memory limitations. And, your computer will not freeze when opening files with half a million rows, a common issue with Excel and other applications.

The primary challenge in distributing personalized content lies in its generation. Software must be intelligent enough to recognize distinct sections (subsets of data) that belong to different users, while also respecting privacy and ensuring data segregation. As the software processes the data, it must accurately identify and separate each user’s data into individual files with precision and efficiency. This innovation is crucial for achieving speed and reliability, functioning like an assembly line with zero errors.

Before Storied Data, data bursting was limited to complex and expensive systems. The significance of our innovation lies in making bursting computationally efficient, enabling users to perform this task even on their Macs and Windows machines. This is akin to maximizing horsepower in a smaller engine, creating a lightweight and fast race car analogy for data processing.

We have democratized the data bursting process, making it accessible beyond statements, reports, and dashboards sent to individual users. By simplifying this capability, users can now personalize newsletters, product catalogs, brochures, and more. Bursting any type of content enables a new level of personalization to enhance communication effectiveness.

Storied Data is an elastic technology that enables users and companies to automate the production of documents and reports, ranging from 50 to millions in quantity. Our highly scalable enterprise servers can generate interactive documents 50 to 100 times faster than traditional PDF and other file formats generation methods. 

To illustrate the impact, consider a bank that needs to generate 6 million statements requiring 30 servers over 3 days. With Storied Data, these statements can be generated in just one day using a single server. Similarly, for a retail company with 15,000 merchandisers experiencing an average 28-minute wait for reports, Storied Data can produce these reports and dashboards in less than 6 minutes with zero latency on subsequent queries. 

This extreme scalability not only saves costs but also significantly enhances user experience. In the competitive landscape of technology, achieving high speed at lower costs is essential for delivering higher customer value.  Achieving generation speed at a lower cost is analogous to achieving cheaper and faster-charging batteries in the EV industry.
