What is Modular?

Modular is a backend service that lets you add AI features to applications without building the underlying infrastructure yourself. Instead of writing code to handle embeddings, vector storage, chat history, and context management, you call two functions: one to set up your AI feature and one to run it. The service manages the technical details in the background. It's aimed at developers who want to incorporate AI capabilities into their apps quickly, without spending time on the plumbing that usually comes with it. Modular uses a freemium model, so you can try it without payment before committing to a paid plan.

Pros & cons

Advantages

Significantly reduces development time by eliminating boilerplate code for AI features
Abstracts away complexity around embeddings and vector databases
Low barrier to entry with a free tier
Straightforward API design makes it quick to integrate

Limitations

Limited flexibility if you need fine-grained control over AI model behaviour or retrieval logic
Vendor lock-in: switching away requires rewriting the integration layer
