🍽️ Baseplate (YC W23)

Baseplate is a backend optimized for LLM apps. Teams use our multimodal context database to build rich user experiences with LLMs. All from an interface as simple as a spreadsheet. That means you don’t have to maintain and manage separate databases for your vectors and regular data anymore!

Using Baseplate, a team can deploy a chat GPT app that responds with domain-specific information from documents, thumbnails, links, images, and more. (Who knows, maybe the next GPT model is multimodal too)

​

Why would we need this?

In most applications, LLMs need to be connected to an ever changing set of data. It’s simple enough to parse and embed a few PDF’s. However, managing this data is tedious when you’re working with large, multimodal datasets that consistently need to be updated, re-indexed, and replaced.

Plus you’re likely managing multiple databases - one for vectors, and one for your other data. This gets painful really fast.

Key Features:

1. A flexible hybrid database. A single dataset in Baseplate can contain
   • Embeddings
   • Text
   • Code
   • Documents
   • Images
   • Links
2. Database management
   • Sync datasets with your tools (Google Drive, S3, Box, Sharepoint, etc.)
   • Utilities for updating and managing vectors in bulk
   • Organize and segment your data intuitively
   • Work in the UI or programmatically via API
3. Smart Search
   • Choose an embedding model for your use case, tailored for your documents
   • Multi-step Search. Retrieve context from multiple datasets within an app.
   • Use keyword, semantic, or hybrid search
   • Retreive whole documents or just relevant chunks
4. App Builder
   • Choose between a number of popular LLMs
   • Build a custom prompt for your use case
   • Test and deploy your app without any code
5. Endpoints
   • One-click Slackbots, Discord Bots, Teams Bots, and more!
   • Build, test, and deploy your Apps via API endpoints
   • Unlimited queries
   • Built-in utilities for human feedback, logging, & caching
