Backend-as-a-Service combining per-project Postgres, storage, auth, realtime, RAG pipeline and agent runtime for AI apps.

Per-Project Postgres Provisioning: Automatically provisions an isolated Postgres instance (with pgvector) per project, providing persistent storage and a vector store for RAG workflows.
Integrated BaaS Surfaces: Built-in auth (GoTrue-compatible), storage, REST (PostgREST) and realtime features that are compatible with Supabase client libraries for seamless developer experience.
Document Extraction and Indexing Pipeline: On upload, documents are extracted, converted to embeddings and indexed for retrieval-augmented generation and fast semantic search.
Agent Runtime and Tooling: Hosts an agent runtime that runs agents and enables them to call external tools over plain HTTP or the MCP protocol, simplifying tool integration.
HTTP-First API Surface: Exposes agents, orchestrations, workflows, sources and knowledge bases as plain HTTP endpoints under /api/, requiring no special SDK to drive platform features.
Orchestration and Workflows: Provides workflow and orchestration primitives to coordinate multi-agent processes, human-in-the-loop steps, and automated pipelines.
Self-Host or Managed Deployment: Offers both self-hosting options for data control and a hosted service for quick onboarding and lower operational overhead.
