SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Couchbase, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASE), the cloud database platform company, today announced the Couchbase AI Accelerate Partner Program designed to make it easier for customers to build AI-powered applications with Couchbase Capella and support integrations with the broader AI and data ecosystem. The program will provide organizations with resources to quickly integrate their platforms and tools with the industry-leading Database-as-a-Service Couchbase Capella™. This reduces friction for customers who are building and deploying models for AI-driven applications.

In addition, Couchbase is pleased to announce that MindsDB and Dataworkz are the first companies to join the program.

"We are witnessing a time where organizations worldwide are transforming their businesses to be more AI-centric," said Jorge Torres, co-founder and CEO of MindsDB. "At MindsDB, we empower companies to build AI applications fast by connecting their data sources to popular AI frameworks. Becoming part of the Couchbase AI Accelerate Partner Program was an easy decision because it aligns with our core mission of expanding AI's accessibility to a broader spectrum of businesses. Together with Couchbase, we can provide valuable resources that help customers build AI-powered applications that will drive transformation."

"World-class large language models (LLMs) require state-of-the-art data, and the hardest part of building an AI application is wrangling data to make it compatible with foundation models," said Sachin Smotra, CEO at Dataworkz. "Dataworkz enables enterprises to harness the power of private or public LLMs on their own proprietary data using Retrieval Augmented Generation. The Couchbase AI Accelerate Partner Program enables Dataworkz to harness data stored in Capella and provide domain-specific up-to-date context for building AI applications in a managed environment."

In addition, Couchbase today announced it is introducing generative AI into Capella. With the launch of Capella iQ, organizations will be able to significantly enhance developer productivity and accelerate time to market for modern applications. The new capability enables developers to write SQL++ and application-level code more quickly by delivering recommended sample code.
