• DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform Now Integrates with LlamaIndex ByNarasimha Badrinath Updated:February 18, 2026 2 min read We’re excited to announce that DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform now integrates natively with LlamaIndex - one of the most popular frameworks for building RAG applications. • This means you can now connect your Gradient AI Platform Knowledge Base and LLMs directly to LlamaIndex workflows, using the abstractions you already know. • No additional infrastructure. • Just install two packages and start building. • Why This Matters If you’ve built RAG applications before, you know the drill: provision a vector database, set up an embedding pipeline, manage credentials across services, and stitch everything together. • It’s a lot of overhead before you write a single line of application logic.
