Shaped offers a developer-first platform that lets businesses build custom recommendation and search systems by combining their existing data with large language models and other scoring mechanisms. The service supports many data sources, including Databricks, BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Amplitude, Segment, Google Analytics and Mixpanel. Customers choose integration methods, language models (eg. Llama, CLIP, BERT) and scoring approaches, and Shaped provides a dashboard for testing models and inspecting recommendations. The company started with a focus on video personalization and, after participating in Y Combinator in 2022, expanded to a horizontal personalization platform covering language, video and audio. Shaped’s stated focus is on developer experience rather than marketing personas. The team plans to deepen its search capabilities and become a full discovery platform over the next year.
