MindsDB is a platform for customizing AI from dynamic data. With its nearly 200 integrations to data sources and AI/ML frameworks, any developer can use their own data to customize AI for their purposes, faster and more securely.

Let’s solve the problems as defined one by one:

MindsDB integrates with numerous data sources, including databases, vector stores, and applications. To make your data accessible to many popular AI/ML frameworks, all you have to do is execute a single statement to connect your data to MindsDB. MindsDB integrates with popular AI/ML frameworks, including LLMs and AutoML. So once you connect your data to MindsDB, you can pass it to different models to pick the best one for your use case and deploy it within MindsDB. With MindsDB, you can manage models and data seamlessly, implement custom automation flows, and make your AI systems improve themselves with continuous finetuning.

With MindsDB, you can build AI-powered applications easily, even with no AI/ML experience. You can interact with MindsDB through SQL, MongoDB-QL, REST APIs, Python, and JavaScript.

Follow along to learn how to set up MindsDB in Docker Desktop. Intro

How does MindsDB work?

With MindsDB, you can connect your data from a database, a vector store, or an application, to various AI/ML models, including LLMs and AutoML models (Figure 1). By doing so, MindsDB brings data and AI together, enabling the intuitive implementation of customized AI systems.

Architecture

MindsDB enables you to easily create and automate AI-powered applications. You can deploy, serve, and fine-tune models in real-time, utilizing data from databases, vector stores, or applications, to build AI-powered apps — using universal tools developers already know.

Why run MindsDB as a Docker Desktop Extension?

MindsDB can be easily installed on your machine via Docker Desktop. MindsDB provides a Docker Desktop Extension, which lets you use MindsDB within the Docker Desktop environment.

As MindsDB integrates with numerous data sources and AI frameworks, each integration requires a specific set of dependencies. With MindsDB running in Docker Desktop, you can easily install only the required dependencies to keep the image lightweight and less prone to issues.

Running MindsDB as a Docker Desktop Extension gives you the flexibility to:

Set up your MindsDB environment easily by installing the extension. Customize your MindsDB environment by installing only the required dependencies. Monitor your MindsDB environment via the logs accessible through the Docker Desktop.
