? I searched their website and code base and can find no reference to AI with this project (other than a list of “AI veterans” involved).

It’s not generating code or UI using AI (as I initially assumed from the demo)… how is “Data and AI algorithms” into “full web applications”?

It looks like it’s a framework you write code in.

Am I missing something obvious?

(For example, this sentiment analysis just imports transformers => https://github.com/Avaiga/demo-sentiment-analysis/blob/devel...)

It’s like gradio or stream lit.

It’s a python UI framework targeted at the AI crowd.

Another fresh python dashboard. Really cool. We need more of these for our Python Apps.

Do we? I struggle to find anything that really differentiates all of these different products. Streamlit, Gradio, etc. are all doing the same thing. What would be the benefit of yet another way to get around writing HTML/CSS/JS? These tools are great for quick POC's, but from what I have seen, none of them are great production ready apps

Yeah, you got it right. Taipy is not about AI but more about providing a way for people who work in AI and data to create a front-end for their project without having to learn other skills outside of Python.

Demos look good! Could you please explain the advantages of Taipy over Streamlit and Shiny for Python?

We actually used Streamlit in the past. Our gripe with it was how the backend event loop was managed. Basically, Streamlit re-runs your code at every user interaction to check what's changed (unless you cache specific variables which is hard to do well). When your app has significant data or a significant model to work with or multiple pages or users, this approach fails, and the app starts freezing constantly. We wanted a product that is the compromise between the easy learning curve of Streamlit while retaining production-ready capabilities: we use callbacks for user interactions to avoid unnecessary computations, front and back-end are running on separate threads. We also run on Jupyter notebooks if that helps.
