I’ve always liked the product design of Frame.io, and I wanted to build an alternative that feels just as polished, while being open source and easy to self host.
You can deploy Shumai with docker compose in just a few minutes. It can also be installed from npm, though you'll need to provide your own PostgreSQL instance with the pgvector extension installed.
For larger deployments, Shumai supports distributed processing via Temporal, allowing resource intensive tasks such as transcoding to be scaled independently.
It's still early in development, feel free to try and share any feedback.

The AI agent collaboration feels surprisingly natural for feedback rounds, not just a gimmick. Uploading messy creative files and keeping everything organized in one place was a relief compared to my usual Dropbox-plus-Slack mess.
Would love to see a timeline view of file versions with side by side diffs, makes it way easier to track changes when iterating on creative work with a team.
Love the idea of integrating AI agents directly into the creative workflow, that's genuinely useful. One thing I'd love to see is a version history timeline view for each uploaded file, so I can scrub back through iterations visually and compare changes side by side instead of digging through comments to figure out what changed between v3 and v7.
Been looking for something that lets me drop files and get actual timestamped feedback without juggling three apps. Tried it on a video cut and the comment pinned right to the frame, which was a small but surprisingly useful touch.
Finally tried the upload flow and it handled a messy PSD without choking, which is more than I can say for most tools. The AI feedback step actually flagged the right layer on the first pass too.
