Instill AI turns unstructured context — documents, images, videos, audio, and live web pages — into structured, AI-generated insights. Upload files (leases, contracts, reports, sound tracks, video interviews, movies) or paste URLs the system fetches and re-fetches; Instill reads, extracts, and organizes the information so it can be searched, compared, and queried — with source-level citations on every answer. See Why Instill AI Exists.
The hosted product. Sign in, upload your files or live URLs, and let the platform organize them into Projects and Collections you can query in chat. AI Autofill populates structured columns from each source automatically. Every answer cites the page, timestamp, or coordinate so you can verify against the original — no infrastructure, no setup.
Instill Core CE (Community Edition) is the open-source version of Instill Core, our modular AI platform. It delivers out-of-the-box Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities for your applications. Build AI-powered data pipelines, integrate retrieval systems, and deploy custom models in a flexible, developer-friendly environment — ideal for teams exploring RAG workflows while keeping full control over their infrastructure.
Instill AI runs on Instill Core EE (Enterprise Edition), the commercial superset of CE that adds the Instill Agent (chat interface, multi-agent orchestration, AI Autofill, context-aware retrieval) along with managed deployment and enterprise-grade operations. CE is the open foundation; EE is the production system; Instill AI is the fully managed service we operate so you don't have to.

- 💧 Pipeline: Build versatile AI-first data pipelines and expose them as production-ready APIs or automated workflows.
- ⚙️ Component: Assemble modular building blocks to compose pipelines with zero boilerplate.
- ⚗️ Model: Deploy, monitor, and manage AI models — no GPU infrastructure required.
To use Instill Core CE, pick whichever client fits:
- 📺 Instill Console
