This looks useful for no-code team members to create embeddings for LLM. Since you're looking for feedback... The "New Way" section would benefit from simplifying into a single flow chart with just two steps. Then move the existing 4 blocks to a features section. Also would be great to have simple use cases on the landing page and link to the current Use Cases page for details. On the Use Cases page, I would get rid…

Thank you for the feedback! They are truly insightful!

What is an AI workflow? What does "embed API endpoint" mean? What is a concrete example of something I would use it for? Why would I use it as opposed to other solutions?

I'm having similar issues understanding how I might use this.

you may think of it as a cloud function, we mostly focus on HTTP based data ingestions without a storage layers. e.g. Your app is sending some data, Fleak can be used to create an API to process that data then return back to the app synchronously or save the processed data directly into a storage layer.

The “Docs” link goes back to the homepage. I found it hard to tell what exactly this does - how can serverless reduce overhead (usually it’s the other way around), how does it scale the LLM backend and so on.

sorry about that. Please try docs.fleak.ai directly? What Fleak offers is a simple way to capture the data processing logic, with or without LLM, and we make deployment to production with one click. That means as a user, no need to write multithread scripts, configuring clusters or create load balancers since Fleak's ingestion engine will optimize the latency across different processing unit (we call them nodes, whether it's llm or simple SQL). On the LLM side, we work with our partner to coordinate the throughput, so if there is a demand for 5000 bps Llm inferencing, we can certainly scale up to that. But for SQL functions, the users can basically get that level of autoscaling out of box.

Kind of useful but I'd generally point people to AWS StepFunctions which is a strict superset of this product (assuming they are ok with using AWS)

that's really great observation. what kind of tasks are you building with StepFunctions? We are integration partner with AWS Lambda, so definitely curious about StepFunctions too!

For someone who is not deep into AI lingo, this pretty much sounds like an ORM + Cloudflare Worker/AWS Lambda. But I'm probably really off here.

What would really help would be a concrete business case for when someone would use this and how it helps vs other options
