Couchbase Introduces Capella AI Services to Expedite Agent Development

Couchbase has introduced a series of new AI Services, called Capella AI Services, to enhance its developer data platform. These services aim to efficiently create and operate GenAI-powered agents and agentic applications. The services include the Model Service for private and secure hosting of open source LLMs, the Unstructured Data Service for processing PDFs and images, the Vectorization Service for real-time streaming, storage, and indexing of vector embeddings, an Agent Catalog providing an extensible framework to help developers add new capabilities to the agent stack, and AI Functions to enrich data using LLMs. These services will empower customers to deliver their most critical applications in the new AI-driven landscape, offering a persistent, stateful data supply for AI interactions, agent application functionality, and ongoing development and maintenance of these systems. The Capella AI Services address pressing needs for data persistence and organization when agents are running, simplify many early-stage headaches developers face, and will be offered to customers as a private preview.
