Baseplate

Baseplate is a backend-as-a-service platform built for LLM applications. Teams use its multimodal context database to store embeddings, text, documents, images, links, and code in one spreadsheet-style workspace instead of juggling separate vector and relational stores.

The platform covers the full retrieval stack: dataset sync from tools like Google Drive, S3, Box, and SharePoint, configurable semantic or hybrid search, prompt templates with version control, and deployable API endpoints. You can also ship one-click Slack, Discord, and Teams bots from the same console.

Baseplate targets engineering and product teams shipping retrieval-based LLM features, from customer support bots and internal knowledge hubs to teaching assistants and e-commerce shopping guides. It launched as a Y Combinator W23 company, though the marketing site and app currently show infrastructure and suspension issues while documentation remains online.

Top Features:
  1. Hybrid database stores embeddings, text, code, documents, images, and links in one dataset

  2. Sync datasets from Google Drive, S3, Box, SharePoint, and other sources via UI or API

  3. Semantic, keyword, or hybrid search with multi-step retrieval across datasets

  4. App builder with prompt templates, variables, and read-only deployable versions

  5. Endpoints expose apps through API calls with logging, human feedback, and PII stripping

  6. One-click deployment to Slack, Discord, and Teams bots from the console

Pros:
  1. Combines vector search, metadata, and multimodal data in one spreadsheet-style database.

  2. Prompt and app versioning with commit-and-deploy workflow reduces production mistakes.

  3. Built-in endpoint deployment, logging, and PII handling for production LLM backends.

Cons:
  1. Marketing site and app were unreachable or suspended during the June 2026 enrichment check.

  2. No public pricing page was found on baseplate.ai domains during research.

  3. Several advanced features in docs are marked deprecated or alpha.
