What Poppy AI Does

Poppy AI is the world's first multiplayer visual AI workspace — essentially 'Figma for AI.' Users drag and drop YouTube videos, TikTok content, Instagram posts, PDFs, images, and voice notes onto an infinite canvas and analyze them using ChatGPT or Claude (toggle between models). The platform targets creators and knowledge workers who need a visual, collaborative approach to AI-powered content creation and research, differentiating from chat-based AI tools through its spatial, multimedia-first interface.

Revenue Highlights

  • Went from near-bankruptcy to $100K revenue in just 10 days after viral TikTok
  • Scaled to $400K MRR within months of product-market fit
