Open Source Developer Tools AI Agents Serverless TypeScript RAG Framework

Overview

BaseAI is a developer-focused framework for creating serverless AI agents, called pipes, that can be equipped with memory, tools, and access to multiple language models. It emphasizes a local-first workflow, letting developers build, test, and iterate on agents directly from their codebase before deploying them. The framework supports retrieval-augmented generation through built-in memory primitives, integrates with popular LLM providers, and exposes a TypeScript SDK for embedding agents into web and backend applications. Configuration lives in code, making versioning and collaboration straightforward. BaseAI targets teams that want the flexibility of an open-source stack without managing complex agent infrastructure, while still being able to extend functionality through custom tools and integrations.

Use cases

Build RAG-Powered Knowledge Agents

Create serverless pipes with built-in memory primitives to retrieve from custom data sources, enabling context-aware question answering grounded in your documents.

Embed AI Agents in Web Apps

Use the TypeScript SDK to integrate AI agents directly into web and backend applications, calling tools and multiple LLM providers from your existing codebase.

Local-First Agent Prototyping

Develop and iterate on AI agents locally with config-as-code, testing behavior before deploying serverless—ideal for teams using Git-based collaboration.

Multi-Model LLM Experimentation

Switch between supported LLM providers within the same agent framework to compare performance, cost, and quality without rewriting application logic.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Multi-model LLM compatibility just works and open-source and developer-friendly. Requires coding knowledge to use can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is typeScript SDK — handled better than most — and built-in memory and tool integration. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and local-first development workflow. Config-as-code setup fits neatly into how we already work, and typeScript SDK removed a step we used to do by hand. but it has held up under daily use.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on config-as-code setup, and open-source and developer-friendly caught me off guard. Smaller ecosystem than larger agent platforms is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Multi-model LLM compatibility is exactly what I needed, and open-source and developer-friendly. I do wish documentation still maturing, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
