Hey all š»
Itās that spooky time of year, and while the Halloween spirit is in full swing, weāve been brewing up some exciting updates at JigsawStack!
From new tools to streamlined APIs, our goal is to make developing AI applications as seamless and powerful as possible. Plus, Yoeven just completed the Funding London program, giving JigsawStack wider access to the UK and Europe markets.
Depreciation notice š
First, some housekeeping! To ensure weāre delivering the best AI-focused tools, weāve deprecated several APIs that no longer align with our goals, including the geo APIs (city, country, state, distance, timezone, and geohash) and the email validation API. This allows us to focus on what matters most: innovative AI capabilities.
Investor & Developer Events in London: Yoeven attended back-to-back meetings with developers & startups in London, continuing to receive feedback that drives JigsawStack forward. Weāre also hosting a cozy hackathon on the 9th of November in London.
New Article Spotlight: Scaling DevTools is a great read for anyone starting a new product or side project, talks about different ways to quickly validate your idea and how to scale!
Next.js Conf '24 Highlights: I had an amazing time at Next.js Conf '24, where I connected with developers, Vercel, and Supabase teams and explored exciting new trends in generative UI and LLMs as APIs. Shoutout to Oleg Akbarov for his inspiring talk on these topicsāright in line with what weāre building at JigsawStack!
One feature Iām especially excited about is Turbopack, now stable in Next.js 5. With its incredible speed improvements, like up to 76% faster server startup and nearly 100% faster code updates, Turbopack is going to make our local development and iteration process much smoother. This means faster project launches and updates, allowing us to deliver even better developer experiences with JigsawStackās AI tools.
Hereās the latest from JigsawStackāletās dive in!
Whatās New
We are Launching an Embedding Service in Alpha!
As part of our AI SDK, weāre introducing a new embedding service focused on filling the gaps left by existing models like those from OpenAI and Cohere.
Many current embedding models are limited to text and often lack multilingual support, especially in RAG applications. Our Alpha launch aims to offer a multimodal embedding for images, PDFs, and other document types with over 80+ languages supported.
Weāre market testing this with both current and new users to refine the value proposition and quality. Learn more about the model here. Reach out to Yoeven on X or drop him an email at yoeven@jigsawstack.com with your use case for access.
Weāre offering the API for free during Alpha and up to four months post-launch in production for companies needing a powerful, adaptable embedding solution.
Updated Documentation with Language Support. Navigating JigsawStack just got easier! The documentation now includes a full list of supported languages across the APIs, making it simple to find the language support you need for translation, speech-to-text, and more.
AI in Supabase Series: Weāre launching a short video series to help you leverage AI directly within your Supabase dashboard. Our first video is live! Learn how to automatically translate user-generated content using Postgres functions and the HTTP extension. Check it out here.
JigsawStack Next.js Starter Kit: Weāve created a Next.js Starter Kit for you! This template integrates JigsawStackās AI SDK to help you set up projects with tools like VOCR, Sentiment Analysis, Translation, and Text-to-Speech. Clone it here to get started in no time.
vOCR Demo is Live: Weāre thrilled to unveil a new demo showcasing the Vision OCR API in action. Powered by our advanced vLLMs and OCR models, this tool extracts data from documents with ultra-high accuracy. Watch the demo here to see it in action!
Prompt Engine Templates: Introducing the Prompt Engine Templates! This gallery of optimized prompt templates lets you select and execute predefined prompts with JigsawStackās Prompt Engine. We also invite you to contribute your Prompt for the community through our discord!
Why This Matters
These updates are all about refining your AI development experience, providing you with faster, more accurate tools, and making integration as seamless as possible. With each release, weāre simplifying AI workflows so you can focus on building and innovating.
