In software engineering, composition is a powerful concept. It allows for building
complex systems from simple, interchangeable parts. Think Legos, Docker
containers, React components. Langbase extends this concept to AI infrastructure
with our

Composable AI

stack using Pipes and Memory.

Composable and personalized AI
: With Langbase, you can compose multiple
models together into pipelines. It's easier to think about, easier to develop for, and
each pipe lets you choose which model to use for each task. You can see cost of
every step. And allow your customers to hyper-personalize.

Effortlessly zero-config AI infra
: Maybe you want to use a smaller, domain-specific
model for one task, and a larger general-purpose model for another task. Langbase
makes it easy to use the right primitives and tools for each part of the job and
provides developers with a zero-config composable AI infrastructure.
That's a nice way of saying,

you get a unicorn-scale API in minutes, not months
.


The most common problem

I hear about in Gen AI space is that my AI agents
are too complex and I can't scale them, too much AI talking to AI. I don't have
control, I don't understand the cost, and the impact of this change vs that. Time
from new model to prod is too long. Feels static, my customers can't personalize

it.



Langbase fixes all this.  AA

I have built an AI email agent that can read my emails, understand the sentiment,
summarize, and respond to them. Let's break it down to how it works, hint several
pipes working together to make smart personalized decisions.
1.

I created a pipe:

email-sentiment

 this one reads my emails to understand the
sentiment
2.

email-summarizer

pipe  it summarizes my emails so I can quickly understand

Example: Composable AI Email Agent



Langbase Email Agent reference architecture

them
3.

email-decision-maker

pipe  should I respond? is it urgent? is it a newsletter?
4.

If

email-decision-maker

pipe says

yes
, then I need to respond. This invokes the
final pipe
5.

email-writer

pipe  writes a draft response to my emails with one of the eight
formats I have
Ah, the power of composition. I can swap out any of these pipes with a new one.

Flexibility
: Swap components without rewriting everything

Reusability
: Build complex systems from simple, tested parts

Scalability
: Optimize at the component level for better performance

Observability
: Monitor and debug each step of your AI pipeline

Control flow

Maybe I want to use a different sentiment analysis model
Or maybe I want to use a different summarizer when I'm on vacation
I can chose a different LLM (small or large) based on the task
BTW I definitely use a different

decision-maker

pipe on a busy day.

Extensibility

Add more when needed
: I can also add more pipes to this pipeline. Maybe I
want to add a pipe that checks my calendar or the weather before I respond to an
email. You get the idea. Always bet on composition.

Eight Formats to write emails
: And I have several formats. Because Pipes are
composable, I have eight different versions of

email-writer

pipe. I have a pipe

email-pick-writer

that picks the correct pipe to draft a response with. Why? I talk
to my friends differently than my investors, reports, managers, vendors  you
name it.

Why Composable AI is powerful?

Long-term memory and context awareness

By the way, I have all my emails in an

emails-store

memory, which any of these
pipes can refer to if needed. That's managed semantic RAG over all the emails I
have ever received.
And yes, my

emails-smart-spam

memory knows all the pesky smart spam emails
that I don't want to see in my inbox.

Cost & Observability

Because each intent and action is mapped out Pipe  which is an excellent
primitive for using LLMs, I can see everything related to cost, usage, and
effectiveness of each pipe. I can see how many emails were processed, how
many were responded to, how many were marked as spam, etc.
I can switch LLMs for any of these actions, fork a pipe, and see how it performs. I
can version my pipes and see how the new version performs against the old one.
And we're just getting started

Why Developers Love It

Modular
: Build, test, and deploy pipes x memorysets independently

Extensible
: API-first no dependency on a single language

Version Control Friendly
: Track changes at the pipe level

Cost-Effective
: Optimize resource usage for each AI task

Stakeholder Friendly
: Collaborate with your team on each pipe and memory. All
your R&D team, engineering, product, GTM (marketing, sales), and even
stakeholders can collaborate on the same pipe. It's like a Google Doc x GitHub
for AI. That's what makes it so powerful.
Each pipe and memory are like a docker container. You can have any number of
pipes and memorysets.
