Pipeless is an open-source framework that takes care of everything you need to develop and deploy computer vision applications in just minutes. That includes code parallelization, multimedia pipelines, memory management, model inference, multi-stream management, and more. Pipeless allows you to ship applications that work in real-time in minutes instead of weeks/months.
Pipeless is inspired by modern serverless technologies. You provide some functions and Pipeless takes care of executing them for new video frames and everything involved.
With Pipeless you create self-contained boxes that we call "stages". Each stage is a micro pipeline that performs a specific task. Then, you can combine stages dynamically per stream, allowing you to process each stream with a different pipeline without changing your code and without restarting the program. To create a stage you simply provide a pre-process function…

Superflows simplifies the integration of an AI assistant into software products, enabling users to ask natural language questions. The AI assistant interacts with the software's API to provide responses or perform tasks.
Key Features:
Calls API endpoints to execute tasks and answer user queries.
Generates code for data analysis and plot creation.
Utilizes RAG (retrieval) for answering questions on static knowledge.
Developer dashboard for AI assistant configuration and testing.
Stateful streaming API for seamless interaction.
UI components (React components provided) for user-friendly interfaces.
Superflows makes it easy to add an AI assistant to a software product. This lets users ask questions in natural language and the assistant makes calls to the software's API to answer them.
E.g. a CRM user could ask:
Have we closed any deals with publishing companies? If so, who was involved in those deals?
or:
Eve is ill today. Move her calls to the rest of the team - prioritise those who have had contact with the prospect before.
A user could ask their analytics assistant:
Did the Google Ads campaign we ran last month have a positive ROI? How many conversions did it generate?
Superflows will make API calls to answer these questions or complete tasks, and write code to analyse and plot data.
To sum up, contributing to open source projects offers numerous benefits for senior developers looking to enhance their skills and give back to the community. The nine projects highlighted in this article are just a few examples of the many exciting opportunities available.
