What If Your Storage Knew How To Talk Back?
Tech Field Day, Wednesday, October 8th, 2025
Vriti Magee recently posted on LinkedIn following MinIO's presentation at Cloud Field Day 23. PromptObject allows developers to interact with unstructured data using natural language prompts, retrieving structured JSON responses.
We talk to APIs. We query databases. We prompt models. But storage? Storage has mostly stayed in the background.
Until now.
At Cloud Field Day 23, MinIO offered a different take. With the introduction of PromptObject and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), they proposed a world where object storage isn't just where data rests-it's where intelligent interaction begins. It raised a compelling question: could inference start at the bucket, rather than after it?
