Preview the New Astra DB Experience: New UX, API, Clients, and Integrations for Building GenAI Apps Faster

Application developers are working on creating generative AI applications that can understand and enhance their business-specific contexts. Vector search is the primary solution for searching and retrieving this semantic context, but many vendors face challenges such as hallucinations, performance issues, lack of real-time context, and complexities in development and integration with GenAI ecosystems. To address these issues, DataStax has introduced a public preview of its new Astra DB vector experience, which simplifies the GenAI application development journey. The new UX allows users to upload both vector and non-vector datasets, perform cosine similarity analysis, and add or remove metadata filters for quick analysis and relevance tuning. Additionally, developers can enjoy the power of Apache Cassandra without learning Cassandra or CQL (Cassandra Query Language) through native clients for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Java. The new Astra DB vector experience is compatible with large language model (LLM) orchestrators like LangChain and LlamaIndex, as well as hyperscaler services such as Google Cloud Vertex AI. DataStax customers across industries are using Astra DB to build generative AI applications, leveraging the power of simplicity, scale, and the GenAI ecosystem.
