Enter the directory:

cd myapp

Install dependencies and run:

uv add pixeltable
uv run pxt serve my-service

Application Templates

Full-stack vertical apps that replace paid SaaS -- each is one schema.py + pyproject.toml:

uvx pixeltable-new --template multimodal-rag my-kb        # your own Vectara
uvx pixeltable-new --template video-intel my-video-app    # your own Twelve Labs
uvx pixeltable-new --template agent my-agent              # your own Mem0
uvx pixeltable-new --template audio-intel my-podcast-app  # your own Otter.ai
uvx pixeltable-new --template content-pipeline my-pipe    # your own Cloudinary AI
uvx pixeltable-new --template data-lab my-dataset         # your own Roboflow

Template	What it replaces	What you get
multimodal-rag	Vectara, Cohere RAG	Unified search across docs, images, video, audio
video-intel	Twelve Labs, Valossa	Declarative video pipeline: frames, transcription, detection, search
agent	Mem0, MemGPT	Persistent agent with durable memory, tools, MCP
audio-intel	Otter.ai, AssemblyAI	Transcription, diarization, summarization, semantic search
content-pipeline	Cloudinary AI	Ingest from S3, process all modalities, export to your DB
data-lab	Labelbox, Roboflow	Auto-annotate, curate, version, export to PyTorch

Structural Patterns

API/pipeline scaffolds for when you want to wire Pixeltable into your own architecture:

uvx pixeltable-new myapp --serving    # Declarative API from TOML config (default)
uvx pixeltable-new myapp --backend    # FastAPI API scaffold (headless)
uvx pixeltable-new myapp --batch      # Batch processing script

Pattern	What you get	Run with
--serving (default)	schema.py + pyproject.toml routes	pxt serve <service-name>
--backend	FastAPI API scaffold + Pixeltable schema + routers	uvicorn main:app --reload
--batch	Ingest script + export_sql	python pipeline.py
