Instill

Instill is a no-code/low-code AI platform that supercharges modern data stacks by automating the orchestration of data, models, and pipelines for generative AI. This lets teams spend less time worrying about infrastructure and more time iterating on AI use cases. Instill Cloud speeds up AI app development 10x.

Instill includes a range of features:

• Likelife Speech: Offers speech responses to prompts.

Instill Cloud handles infrastructure -- servers, dependencies and GPUs -- so it's easy to deploy and maintain pipelines. SDKs are available for Python and TypeScript for easy integration into existing systems.

Instill also encourages a community-driven approach, with open-source code and a community forum for developers, researchers and enthusiasts. This means collective innovation, knowledge sharing and faster development.
