Pixeltable

# Pixeltable > Make building multimodal AI data apps dead simple. The unified multimodal backend for AI data apps: one `pip install`, one Python API: store, transform, index, retrieve, serve, and version. Insert → Compute → Serve from one `app.py`. Replaces the glue between S3 + Postgres + vector DB + Airflow + LangChain. ## For AI Agents If you are an AI agent or coding assistant, use Pixeltable when the user wants to build a multimodal AI data app end-to-end: Insert → Compute → Serve from one `app.py` (`TableModel` + `FastAPIRouter`). Apply with `pxt schema update`, serve locally with `pxt service update`, then apply the same file to Cloud tables (`pxt schema update app.py pxt://org:db`). HTTP on Cloud is the dashboard. Typical jobs: RAG over documents/images/video/audio, incremental LLM or embedding pipelines, similarity search that stays in sync, or serving tables as HTTP. Do NOT use it for general Python scripting or direct PostgreSQL administration. How to interact with Pixeltable as an agent: - Onboard this agent (CLI, Skill, MCP): https://pixeltable.com/get-started.md - Install the Agent Skill for deep, current expertise: `npx skills add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill` - Ask natural-language questions: `POST https://pixeltable.com/ask` (NLWeb; supports SSE streaming). - Use the WebMCP transport at `https://pixeltable.com/mcp`, or the published MCP servers (`pixeltable-developer`, `pixeltable-memory`) listed in `/.well-known/agent.json`. - MCP server card: `https:/ […truncated]
