Mirror is the fastest and most cost effective way to build web apps with multimodal embeddings.
Backed by OpenAI CLIP, Turbopuffer and NextJS(Lovable), build the next Pintrest, Instagram or whatever you could imagine with no GPU's, no complex deployments and no drain on your wallet.
We've shipped our frontier UI to demo the capabilities of Mirror, we indexed thousands of images in just a few hours costing less than a few cents and we can enable natural language search over these images forever, only paying for what you use, or if within the free plan, absolutely nothing!
Below is our serverless solution compared to traditional deployments.
This project uses Turbopuffer for the vector store. Create an account and API key in the dashboard, then add:
TURBOPUFFER_API_KEY="[YOUR API KEY]"
TURBOPUFFER_REGION="gcp-us-central1" # optional, see https://turbopuffer.com/docs/regions
We also use Vercel's Blob store to efficiently store images for use for the browser, go to your vercel project -> storage
And create a new Blob store with access to prod/preview/dev or whatever stages you prefer.
We also use OpenAI for captioning for further accessibility, if you require this feature then please include an OpenAI API KEY
OPENAI_API_KEY="[YOUR KEY]"
Now run
pnpm i
vercel env pull
Then, run the development server:
vercel devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
This will start mirror and it's frontier UI, ready for you to take over and build something amazing!
The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js.
Check out our Next.js deployment documentation for more details.
