Platforms Kraftful — a self-described copilot for product builders — has taken the lead. It’s only in beta and you must provide your email to access the feature list. We’ve played with it and seen great results. You can plug more than 30 sources of user feedback into the platform and it will analyze the data and identify feature requests, common complaints, what users love about the product and even name your competitors. To gather more details, you can ask questions like you would to ChatGPT or Google Bard — the benefit here is it’s optimized for your data. Once you prioritize what will be addressed from the user’s feedback, Kraftful generates user stories for you based on all underlying data — including acceptance criteria — making it a great assistant to even very experienced product managers and business analysts. 39. pgvector Assess With the rise of Generative AI-powered applications, we see a pattern of storing and efficiently searching embeddings vectors for similarities. pgvector is an open-source vector similarity search extension for PostgreSQL. We quite like it because it enables us to search the embeddings in PostgreSQL without moving the data to another store just for similarity search. Although there are several specialized vector search engines, we want you to assess pgvector. 40. Pinecone Assess Pinecone is a fully managed, developer-friendly and cloud-native vector database with a simple API and no infrastructure hassles. Pinecone serves filtered query results with low latency at the scale of billions of vectors. Our teams have found vendor databases and Pinecone in particular very helpful and quick to get started for use cases like storing a team’s knowledge base or help desk portal content rather than fine-tuning complex LLMs. 41. wazero Assess wazero is a zero dependency WebAssembly (WASM) run time written in Go. Although the run time itself is language neutral, we wanted to highlight wazero for Go developers because it offers a convenient way to extend your Go programs with WASM modules written in any conformant languages. It has no dependency on CGO, so you can easily cross compile your Go applications to other platforms. Although you have a choice when it comes to run times for WASM, we think wazero is worth assessing. © Thoughtworks, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 25
