Today, we’re excited to announce the General Availability (GA) of DigitalOcean’s GradientAI Platform, a developer-first platform that makes it easy to build, scale, and ship AI-powered applications.
GradientAI Platform brings together everything you need to go from prototype to production with AI, all in one fully managed experience. You can create intelligent agents that reason over your data, integrate cutting-edge LLMs into your app with a single API, or experiment with prebuilt tools, like evaluations or versioning, to accelerate your AI development. Whether you’re automating workflows, enhancing customer support, or building new AI products from the ground up, the Platform gives you all the power without the complexity of managing infrastructure.
Thousands of developers explored the platform during its public preview (formerly known as the GenAI Platform). Their feedback helped shape the product launching today.
Today’s release brings major improvements that make it easier to build, debug, and scale AI applications. New features like external data integration, agent traceability, customer conversation logs, and agent evaluation give you deeper visibility into how your agents behave, more control over their data and logic, and better ways to collaborate across teams—all without adding infrastructure overhead.
Since the initial release in January 2025, we’ve launched a wide range of enhancements driven by real-world adoption and evolving use cases. From foundational infrastructure upgrades to powerful new developer tools, here’s what’s changed between public preview and General Availability:
Not every AI use case requires a full agent. If you’re just looking to integrate LLMs into your application, without the overhead of managing infrastructure or juggling API credentials, serverless inference on the GradientAI Platform gives you direct, flexible access to industry-leading models. It’s ideal for developers who want to build quickly and stay in control.
Here’s what you get with serverless inference on GradientAI Platform:
Whether you’re adding summarization to a SaaS tool, enhancing customer support, or building a content generation feature, serverless inference makes integration fast, clean, and scalable.
“The future of business is human-led and agent-operated. Humans articulate goals, and fleets of autonomous agents can execute on those goals,” said Aaron Kettl, founder of Quickest. “With the GradientAI Platform, I can easily set up all of my agents and integrate them into my product with very little code, and I can upgrade and switch models anytime, so my product gets better every time a new model rolls out.”
The GradientAI Platform is production-ready and built to grow with you, whether you’re building agents to automate complex workflows or using serverless inference to add AI features to your app. This launch brings together everything you need to move fast, stay in control, and confidently ship AI to production.
And we’re just getting started. In the months ahead, we’ll be expanding the platform with smarter agent experiences, expanded evaluation tools, and new features that make building with AI even faster and more intuitive.
