We are excited to announce that the Naas Alpha Workspace was officially rolled out last week. The Workspace integrates Search, Lab, and Chat features, providing a more streamlined and integrated user experience. This aligns better with our vision of creating the leanest and most universal data & AI platform.
The Exciting New Features of Naas Workspace
Naas Search
Find our community notebook templates easily with our Google-like search. We've enhanced our template-building process with a plugin option that leverages generative AI models. This lets you directly open and interact with these advanced models in Naas Chat and add your own data, streamlining your workflow. This feature not only simplifies the collaboration between data consumers and producers but also opens up new possibilities for personalized interactions and data exploration.
Naas Chat
Experience our open ChatGPT alternative. Engage with integrated generative language models, enriched with plugins, for a uniquely tailored interaction. This universal chat interface is designed to integrate all AI models out there, allowing you to find the perfect fit for each and every workflow you have. Whether it's adding image generation, converting speech to text, or transforming text into literally "anything", we want to provide the flexibility and adaptability you need. Our ultimate goal is to transform how you interact with data & AI, making it more intuitive, flexible, and user-centric, to open up limitless possibilities.
Naas Lab
The development interface you know and love JupyterLab stays the bedrock of the developers’ experience. With the Naas low-code formulas accessible in the Lab, you can create unique automation, analytics, and AI systems and leverage the best data product/software development practices regarding packaging, versioning, and deployment process. This not only simplifies the development process but also empowers you to build more efficient, customized solutions focused on data consumers. Whether you're automating routine tasks, analyzing complex data sets, or crafting sophisticated data & AI systems, the Lab streamlines your work and boosts your productivity. It's all about giving you the tools to innovate and create, without the complexity.
Naas Chrome Extension
We've made multitasking a breeze with our new Chrome extension. With a simple click, your screen will split into two, creating a non-intrusive workspace where you can simultaneously work with Naas Search, Chat, Dashboard, and advanced third-party app connections and workflow trigger capabilities.
Llama-v2 Model Now Accessible
We've waited a long time at the speed of AI to integrate it, but we have added our first promising open-source AI model, Llama-v2, to all users for benchmarking vs. the already available: GPT4, 3.5-turbo, and 3.5-turbo-16k. We encourage you to explore this new model and share your feedback using the action bar in the chat message. Your insights, ideas, and bug or “hallucination” reports are invaluable to us.
Engine Demos in Launchpad
We've added each of our Foundation Engines demos to the launchpad for Content Creation, Growth Marketing, Sales Conversion, Operations Efficiency, Finance Management, and Open Data Intelligence. This allows you to make demos and visualize the potential of building data products distributed via AI chat plugins using our notebook templates. We're committed to continual enhancements of the Alpha versions of these engines, driven by our internal needs to fully harness AI power for the Naas organization. As we progress, expect these demos to become increasingly impressive. As part of our commitment to transparency and community growth, we will incorporate our anonymized data into these updates. This means that as we learn and grow, you'll have access to richer, more insightful demos. It's our way of ensuring that as we evolve, our users do too.
Updated Pricing and New Community Plan
We've clarified our pricing page and made some changes to our free plan, now called the Community Plan. With this plan, you have 72 hours of Lab uptime. We've also introduced a Sponsor Plan that offers 200 credits, twice as much as the Community Plan. You can update your plan in the profile panel/billing section and become Naas V.I.P., Your upgrade will help us cover the free compute and third-party API costs we offer to the community.
What's Next?
Documentation Update
We're currently updating our documentation to reflect the new features and enhancements in the Naas Alpha Workspace. This includes detailed guides on using the Naas Search, Naas Chat, and Naas Lab features, as well as instructions on how to install and create plugins.
Slash Command
We're developing a new feature that will allow you to trigger actions from notebooks stored in your Lab without leaving your chat. This will empower data consumers to perform tasks independently, while data product developers can focus on packaging.
Serverless Deployment Job - Space
We're working on a serverless deployment job called Space. This will enable data product developers to create stand-alone apps outside of the Lab for improved performance.
As always, we encourage you to share your thoughts in comments and feedback directly via email at jeremy@naas.ai, in the app using the 'Chat with us' button in the profile dropdown, or via the #community-forum channel in our Slack.
Thank you for your continued support. We are committed to providing you with the best experience possible to make Naas your custom data & AI system.
If you like what we do, talk about it around you and spread the open-source love 💚
