Introducing the CustomGPT API — The #1 Serverless RAG API 🥇

Today I am delighted to share with you our enhanced CustomGPT API Suite — the #1 serverless RAG API on both accuracy and anti-hallucination (in independent benchmarks!)

Rather than building RAG pipelines yourself, this API allows you to quickly build RAG-based solutions with just a few lines of code.

You then get production-ready, best-in-class performance and features (no kidding — we’ve added 964 features/issue fixes in the platform over the last 12 months alone, which says a lot about how the platform works!)
