About Jaseci
We envision a world where the pace of innovation is only limited by imagination, not by infrastructure.
Our mission is to simplify the creation of scalable AI to accelerate a new wave of innovation.
Jaseci is an end-to-end, open-source technology stack designed for the next generation of AI. It enables developers to rapidly build and deploy robust, sophisticated AI products at scale. The project is stewarded by Jaseci Labs. Our team is composed of leading AI professors, PhD students, and industry experts.
Journey of Jaseci
~ The story of an idea realized ~
In 2020, the concept of a new way of developing software in the AI era is conceived and later described in a Forbes blog article.
In 2022, the idea has evolved and the first intellectual step in the journey of Jaseci and Jac is described.
Then in 2023, the idea survives peer-review at Computer Architecture Letters.
In 2024, the idea that AI should be a conventional code construct in the language is conjured and elucidated.
Then in 2025, the idea survives peer-review. (pending)
That same year (2025), "data-spatial programming" described in earlier works becomes "object-spatial programming" and is rigorously defined.
In 2025, the notion of "scale-native programming" through language abstraction is rigorously defined though it was first described in the original 2022 paper.
And the journey continues...
