<p>Things are moving fast. We launched JigsawStack v3, hosted another Smol Models Hackathon, shipped major improvements, and made our debut on Product Hunt. Here’s a quick recap, plus everything new and what’s coming next.</p>
<h2 id="heading-hackathon-recap">Hackathon Recap</h2>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1746228634862/2d6e0a3b-bd95-46a2-940f-28870e2d97ba.jpeg" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<p>We wrapped our second <strong>Smol Models Hackathon</strong> in San Francisco and it delivered.</p>
<p>Devs spent the day experimenting, connecting, and shipping creative prototypes using JigsawStack. From first-time builders to experienced founders, the energy was strong all the way through demo time.</p>
<p>Thank you to all who came through- we’ll see you at the next one soon!</p>
<h2 id="heading-whats-new">What’s New?</h2>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1746819215075/3e03b549-d09a-408f-9662-ea5ebcaad8a3.png" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<p>v3 brings faster APIs, unified endpoints, and major pricing improvements. Here we highlight a few of our favorite changes in a fun way:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><a target="_blank" href="https://jigsawstack.com/ai-web-scraper"><strong>AI Web Scraper</strong></a> that handles dynamic, static, and infinite scroll pages</p>
</li>
<li><p><a target="_blank" href="https://jigsawstack.com/ai-search"><strong>AI Web Search</strong></a> that finds anything, anywhere</p>
</li>

<p>Hope you’ve been well! It’s been a big month for us at JigsawStack. Between funding milestones, major product updates, team expansion, and community events, we’ve been moving quickly on all fronts.</p>
<p>Let’s get into what’s been happening.</p>
<p>First, we’re excited to welcome <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/harsha-vardhan-khurdula-99b400183/">Harsha Vardhan Khurdula</a> as our new Founding AI Researcher! Harsha will be leading model training, fine-tuning, and benchmarking. In his own words, he’s ready for “endless training loops and the occasional glitch that reminds us even AI has off days.” He’s already off to a strong start.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1742868414694/b017f4d9-fecb-438a-a158-50c4d7e693f6.jpeg" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<h2 id="heading-funding-milestone-15m-raised"><strong>Funding Milestone: $1.5M Raised</strong></h2>
<p>We’re proud to share that JigsawStack has raised a total of $1.5M, with our most recent $1M round led by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.adaventures.com/">Ada Ventures</a>. This follows our earlier pre-seed from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.antler.co/">Antler</a>.</p>
<p>Michael Tefula from Ada Ventures has been an incredible partner, within minutes of meeting, he pulled out his laptop, installed the SDK, and began sending API requests on the spot. That energy is exactly what we’re building for: developers who want fast, seamless AI infrastructure they can trust.</p>
<p>You can read more about why Ada invested <a target="_blank" href="https://lnkd.in/eRbfJUZn">here</a>.</p>
<h2 id="heading-benchmarking"><strong>Benchmarking</strong></h2>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1742866222227/f374d3b5-975c-4e87-93b6-1f60a67bf124.png" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<p><strong>JigsawStack vOCR vs Mistral OCR</strong><br />We put our vOCR model up against Mistral OCR in a series of tests covering multilingual text, handwriting, document structure, and bounding box accuracy.</p>
<p>Mistral OCR struggled with handwritten content and lacked bounding box support. Meanwhile, JigsawStack vOCR extracted text with high precision—even from noisy, multilingual, or handwritten sources—and returned structured outputs with full position data.</p>
<p>You can explore the full comparison <a target="_blank" href="https://jigsawstack.com/blog/mistral-ocr-vs-jigsawstack-vocr">here</a>.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1742865797394/61d16666-0b30-4503-85a2-e5757f15b8fb.jpeg" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<p><strong>JigsawStack STT vs OpenAI Audio STT</strong><br />After OpenAI’s latest update to Whisper, we ran a comparison using real-world audio files.</p>
<p>JigsawStack’s Speech-to-Text delivered faster results, supported speaker labels out of the box, and offered cleaner structured output—without sacrificing accuracy. If you're working with meetings, voice notes, or podcasts, our transcription model is built for both speed and clarity.</p>
<p>Read full breakdown <a target="_blank" href="https://jigsawstack.com/blog/jigsawstack-mcp-servers">here</a>.</p>
<h2 id="heading-documentation-and-sdks-refreshed"><strong>Documentation and SDKs Refreshed</strong></h2>
<p>We’ve updated the JigsawStack SDKs in TypeScript, Python, and cURL, and overhauled our documentation to make onboarding smoother. There are now clearer error messages, new CLI tooling, and expanded code samples.</p>
<h2 id="heading-instant-tool-demos-on-product-pages"><strong>Instant Tool Demos on Product Pages</strong></h2>
<p>You can now try any of our models directly on the API landing pages—no signup or login needed. Each tool comes with 20 free requests per day for testing. This is especially helpful for no-code builders or developers exploring fast prototyping.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1742866285536/25bf27ce-2cfa-434d-a5d3-bf5d407fc66c.png" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<h2 id="heading-ai-web-scraper-now-supports-web-crawling"><strong>AI Web Scraper Now Supports Web Crawling</strong></h2>
<p>The AI Scraper has evolved. It now supports full web crawling with automatic link discovery, infinite scroll handling, custom headers, and proxy support. Whether you’re scraping structured data from pricing pages or crawling an entire site like Wikipedia, the process is now as simple as giving a few prompts and running one API call.</p>
<p>We’ve put together a blog walking through how it works <a target="_blank" href="https://jigsawstack.com/blog/crawl-the-web-with-ease">here</a>, and you can try it live on the <a target="_blank" href="https://jigsawstack.com/ai-web-scraper">Scraper product page</a>. No login required.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1742865579417/80405cc4-9f26-40ec-a6d2-1f338ac54732.png" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<h2 id="heading-vibecoding-with-ai-coders"><strong>Vibecoding with AI Coders</strong></h2>
<p>This month, I tested the top three AI coding assistants—Luvable, v0, and Bolt—by building the same JigsawStack app with each. Some flew through it, others needed a bit more help.</p>
<p>From API setup to debugging, I break down what worked and what didn’t.</p>
<p>Check out full video <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/PGrUtQd1dYI">here</a>.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1742865878587/c8d6cb30-a3de-4cc1-9f49-f84a36f50187.png" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<h2 id="heading-mcp-server-now-available"><strong>MCP Server Now Available</strong></h2>
<p>We launched the JigsawStack MCP Server—our open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows any compliant agent (like Claude Desktop or Smithery) to use our tools on demand. You can now plug JigsawStack’s services into autonomous agents, without hardcoding API logic.</p>
<p>More about it <a target="_blank" href="https://jigsawstack.com/blog/jigsawstack-mcp-servers">here</a>, or check out the <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/JigsawStack/jigsawstack-mcp-server">GitHub repo</a>.</p>
<h2 id="heading-looking-ahead"><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></h2>
<p>Thanks for being on this journey with us. These updates represent a significant leap forward in our mission to simplify backend AI. We’re building a platform that helps developers move fast without friction—tools that work out of the box and scale when you need them to.</p>
<p>If you’re experimenting with JigsawStack or thinking about integrating it into your project, we’d love to hear what you’re building.

<p>It’s that spooky time of year, and while the Halloween spirit is in full swing, we’ve been brewing up some exciting updates at JigsawStack!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Depreciation notice</strong> 👇</p>
<p>First, some housekeeping! To ensure we’re delivering the best AI-focused tools, we’ve 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.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1730746471238/aa174941-0070-4ba3-a451-7723087c1f27.png" alt class="image--center mx-auto" /></p>
<p><strong>Investor &amp; Developer Events in London</strong>: Yoeven attended back-to-back meetings with developers &amp; startups in London, continuing to receive feedback that drives JigsawStack forward. We’re also hosting a <a target="_blank" href="https://lu.ma/hxzy9awa">cozy hackathon</a> on the 9th of November in London.</p>
<p><strong>New Article Spotlight:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.scalingdevtools.com/i-interviewed-100-devtools-founders/">Scaling DevTools</a> 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!</p>

<p><strong>Next.js Conf '24 Highlights</strong>: 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 <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/olegakbarov">Oleg Akbarov</a> for his inspiring talk on these topics—right in line with what we’re building at JigsawStack!</p>
<p>One feature I’m 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 JigsawStack’s AI tools.</p>
<p>Here’s the latest from JigsawStack—let’s dive in!</p>
<h3 id="heading-whats-new"><strong>What’s New</strong></h3>
<p><strong>We are Launching an Embedding Service in Alpha!</strong><br />As part of our AI SDK, we’re introducing a new embedding service focused on filling the gaps left by existing models like those from OpenAI and Cohere.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>We’re market testing this with both current and new users to refine the value proposition and quality. <a target="_blank" href="https://yoeven.notion.site/Multimodal-Multilingual-Embedding-model-launch-13195f7334d3808db078f6a1cec86832">Learn more about the model here.</a> Reach out to Yoeven on <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/yoeven">X</a> or drop him an email at yoeven@jigsawstack.com with your use case for access.</p>
<p>We’re offering the API for free during Alpha and up to four months post-launch in production for companies needing a powerful, adaptable embedding solution.</p>
<p><strong>Updated Documentation with Language Support</strong>. 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.</p>
