Hi Product Hunt Community 👋🏻

OAK was built with a simple vision: to make AI integration effortless for developers and businesses. After a decade of building digital companies and agencies, we saw the struggles first-hand—fragmented tools, slow workflows, and rigid systems that made deploying AI feel like a daunting task. So, we set out to change that.

With OAK, you get a platform designed to eliminate complexity. Our modular design, intuitive APIs, and seamless UI components empower your team to move from idea to production faster than ever. Whether you’re crafting a smart assistant or building an AI-powered customer experience, OAK gives you the flexibility and scalability to bring your vision to life—without the hassle.

But we’re just getting started—and we want YOU to be part of it! Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to build and improve OAK. Join our community on Discord, share your thoughts, and help shape the future of AI integration.

This kind of smooth experience is exactly what developers have been looking for! Wish you good luck with the launch! 🎉

Alexander Schwaiger

@kay_arkain Thank you so much! We're super excited to see what you guys think and build with it.
Let's go!

Nima Aksoy

OAK looks amazing, Alexander! Simplifying AI integration with modular design and great docs is a big win for devs. Excited to join the Discord and explore

Alexander Schwaiger

@nimaaksoy Thank you so much! We put a lot of effort into building the framework and platform. It's super exciting for us to see what you will build with it. We have more features lined up that we can't wait to ship as well.
Seeing you in our Discord, let us know if you have any feedback as well!

Charles Maddock
Looks awesome! Any plans to add connectors for e.g google drive, so I can embed and use certain drive folders with my agents? Good luck with the launch!
Alexander Schwaiger

@charles_maddock Perfect question! And yes, we are working on adding tons of plugins and connectors via the OAK plugin system. There are active discussion in our Discord, would love to see you join the conversation as we want to build a community!

Let's go!

Roman Burdyga

Exciting launch! OAK looks like a fantastic platform for developers to integrate AI seamlessly into workflows. How easy is it to connect to existing LLMs and customize the platform for specific use cases?

Alexander Schwaiger

@roman_burdyga Hi Roman! It's super easy. You can connect any LLM you basically want (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude), you are totally flexible. We have built several agents already with OAK and it's super easy to shape the agent around your needs. You can also add custom plugins to connect to other solutions or use our built-in knowledge base to get started in minutes. Chat embeds can also be fully customized.

Marianna Tymchuk

This is exactly what developers need to integrate AI effortlessly into their projects. OAK’s flexibility, scalability, and modular design make it a game-changer!

Alexander Schwaiger

@marianna_tymchuk Thanks Marianna! Appreciate the support!

Jonas Urbonas

OAK seems like a great solution for developers looking to simplify the AI integration process with its modular design and intuitive components. How does OAK handle scalability when integrating with larger systems or multiple tools?

Alexander Schwaiger

@jonurbonas Hi Jonas! You are right, that is one of our biggest goals with OAK. It's really built for developers and our bigger goal is to build a community of builders. Join our Discord channel, we are actively communicating there about new features etc.

Totally agree, OAK is a game-changer! 🚀 The scalability is insane — you can deploy it serverless or as a standard NodeJS app, even with multiple instances behind a load balancer. Plus, the user management is super flexible — you can activate/deactivate tools on an agent level, so it works perfectly for big setups with hundreds of agents.

Jason Yu

@valentin825 @peter_schogler 🚀 Finally, a dev-friendly AI integration platform!
I’ve spent way too much time stitching together APIs, SDKs, and UI kits across different tools—OAK is the first platform that actually feels like it was built with developers in mind. The modularity and flexibility are just right. Can't wait to see how this evolves!

Alexander Schwaiger

@valentin825  @peter_schogler  @kui_jason 

I think we couldn't agree more! OAK was built by developers for developers.
Our goal is it to build a community, launch features we all need and we have a lot of exciting stuff in our backlog we can't wait to jump on.

Appreciate any feedback input via email or our Discord!

Let's go!!

Desmond

OAK is exactly the open-source AI agent framework developers need! The ability to connect any LLM, extend with plugins, and embed agents seamlessly into workflows solves the critical pain points of customization and scalability. As a dev, I love the flexibility to tailor agents without vendor lock-in.

Alexander Schwaiger

@desmond_ren1 Thank you! This is exactly why we built it. Please join our Discord as we really want to build an active community. We have a ton of exciting features in the pipeline. Let's go!

Supa Liu

Flexibility and fast deployment are key for AI innovation, and OAK seems to check all the right boxes.

Alexander Schwaiger

@supa_l Yes, that's correct. You can build agents super fast but then also be completely free and flexible when it comes to deployment.

Can't wait to see what you guys build with it. And please join our community. We've got so much exciting stuff coming up for OAK.

Jun Shen

Loving the open-source flexibility for AI projects! 😄

Alexander Schwaiger

We have just released a YouTube video walkthrough.
Go check it out!

Hey Product Hunt Community! 👋


Excited to share some big news from the OAK team! We've just pushed a significant update packed with features designed to make building and deploying AI agents even better, based heavily on user feedback and our vision for a more powerful, intuitive platform.


Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:


Cleaner, Refreshed UI: We've polished the interface, focusing on the default tools and chat experience. It's now sleeker, more intuitive, and hopefully, a lot more pleasant to work with day-to-day.


🧠 Latest Model Support (incl. GPT-4.1 Turbo): By upgrading to the newest Vercel AI SDK, OAK now supports the latest and greatest models, including GPT-4.1 Turbo. This means access to more powerful reasoning, longer context windows, and the cutting edge of AI capabilities for your agents.


📄 PDF Support for OpenAI Models: This has been a popular request! You can now directly integrate and process PDF documents using any of the OpenAI models configured in OAK. Unlock the knowledge stored in your PDFs and make it accessible to your agents seamlessly.


🏷️ Smarter Knowledge Base with Tagging & Metadata: This is a big one for knowledge retrieval! You can now add tags and metadata to documents in your knowledge base. Why is this cool? It allows your agent to filter and retrieve information with much greater precision. Instead of just searching content, it can look for documents tagged 'Q1_Reports' or with metadata indicating a specific 'Project_ID'. This leads to far more relevant and context-aware responses.


⚙️ MCP Support Added: We're also rolling out support for MCP (Multi-Cue Prompting or relevant protocol), expanding OAK's integration capabilities and allowing for more sophisticated agent interactions and workflow integrations. We'll share more specific use cases and guides on this soon!


These updates represent a significant step forward in usability, intelligence, and knowledge management for OAK. We're striving to build the best platform for creating capable AI agents, and these features are core to that mission.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

  • What do you think of the new features?

  • How do you see the tagging/metadata impacting your knowledge base use?

  • Any questions about the new model support or PDF integration?

Drop your feedback and questions below – we're eager to chat!


Cheers,

Alex
