WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Note: While we won’t detail the React-Native application build, you can find the code for the app in this Github repo
Now that you’ve set up the index, you can create the server that will interact with it. The full code listing for the server is available in this repo.
Vercel is a platform that allows us to deploy serverless functions and static websites with minimal configuration and hassle. Vercel also provides us with a generous free tier and a global edge network that ensures low latency and high availability for our app.
React Native (and Expo) is a framework that allows us to build native mobile applications using Javascript and React. React Native also gives us access to many of the sensors and features that exist on phones, such as the camera, which we will use to capture images for our app.
Hugging Face is a platform that provides us with a large collection of pre-trained and ready-to-use AI models for various tasks and domains. It also allows us to host our own custom models and use them via a simple API. In this post, we’ll use a custom CLIP model to generate vector embeddings for any image (we’ll talk about embeddings later in this post), instead of predicting a fixed set of classes.
