Tech stack
  • Next
    Next.js is the full-stack React framework: it delivers high-performance web applications via hybrid rendering and powerful, Rust-based tooling.
    This is the React Framework for production: Next.js enables you to build full-stack web applications with zero configuration and maximum efficiency. It supports a hybrid rendering approach (Server-Side Rendering, Static Site Generation, and Incremental Static Regeneration) for optimal speed and SEO performance. Key features include React Server Components, Server Actions for running server code directly, and the App Router for advanced routing and nested layouts. Developed by Vercel, it leverages Rust-based tools like Turbopack and the Speedy Web Compiler for the fastest possible builds and a superior developer experience.
  • Express
    Express.js is the fast, unopinionated, and de facto standard web application framework for Node.js (JavaScript backend).
    Express.js is your core for building scalable web applications and robust APIs on Node.js. It’s a minimal, flexible framework: it handles routing, HTTP utilities, and the request/response cycle efficiently. We leverage its massive middleware ecosystem for added functionality like cookie parsing or authentication (e.g., Passport.js). As the 'E' in the popular MEAN, MERN, and MEVN stacks, Express provides the proven, high-performance backend layer for modern JavaScript development.
  • LangChain
    The open-source framework for building and deploying reliable, data-aware Large Language Model (LLM) applications.
    LangChain is the essential framework for engineering LLM-powered applications: it simplifies connecting models (like GPT-4 or Claude) to external data, computation, and APIs. The platform provides a modular set of components—Chains, Agents, Tools, and Memory—allowing developers to quickly build complex workflows like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and sophisticated conversational agents. Its Python and JavaScript libraries, combined with LangChain Expression Language (LCEL), offer a standardized interface for rapid prototyping and moving applications to production with confidence.
  • OpenAI
    OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company: We build safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) to benefit all of humanity.
    OpenAI is a premier AI research and deployment company, focused on developing safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for global benefit. The organization operates under a unique structure: a non-profit Foundation governs a for-profit Group, which functions as a public benefit corporation. Its technology portfolio includes industry-defining models like the GPT series (e.g., GPT-4o, GPT-5.1), the conversational platform ChatGPT, and the text-to-video model Sora. These tools drive innovation across multiple sectors, providing powerful, accessible AI capabilities for developers, businesses, and consumers worldwide.
