Haystack 2.30 is here 📷

Smarter code processing and simpler APIs. Two highlights this time.

We over-trust LLMs, but not worry enough about the agentic loop around them when building agents

At my @pyconit talk yesterday, I shared why agents fail and how a solid agent harness can fix them, code & slides below 👇

We're launching the Haystack Ambassador Program 🎉

It's for the people already building, teaching, contributing to the Haystack ecosystem and who want to go further.

🧵 Here's what it is, who it's for, and how to apply

[Bilge @bilgeycl]

Can't wait to be back in Bologna for @pyconit this week!

I'm talking about why agents fail and how to fix them, with a live demo of our itinerary agent built using context-engineering patterns and @Haystack_AI!

See you all there 🙌

🌐 @perplexity_ai is now integrated with @Haystack_AI!

- `PerplexityWebSearch` to fetch fresh web results directly into your pipelines
- `PerplexityChatGenerator` to power agent conversations with Perplexity's OpenAI-compatible LLM API
- `PerplexityTextEmbedder` and `PerplexityDocumentEmbedder` for semantic embeddings

The web search component is especially useful when your agents need real-time information beyond their training data. Just instantiate it with your API key, set `top_k` results, and pass your query. You get back both documents and source links in a single call. Perplexity's API combines language models with live web access, making it a strong choice for building knowledge-intensive applications that need current information.

🥳 My talk from @aiDotEngineer Europe is live on YT!!

this was my first ever talk on sovereignty so I'm quite excited to share 💗

I broke down AI sovereignty into 4 pillars to make it clearer and I shared a sovereign @Haystack_AI architecture + a checklist for AI systems

WHAT AN EVENT!! 🎉

Last week we hosted an unconference as @deepset_ai with @NVIDIA at @balderton office in London.

🎙️ We kicked off with two short talks. @LukawskiKacper demoed a multi-agentic post-event report creator built with @Haystack_AI and Nemotron 3 Super, @KarinSevegnani walked us through Nemotron 3's performance and benchmarks.

💬 Then we split into three discussion groups and I led a session on memory and long running agents. One of the most interesting conversations I've had in a while. We started with memory and second brain concepts. People shared how they're building personal agents by transcribing YouTube videos and creating knowledge bases following @karpathy's wiki idea. We talked RAG vs filesystems, MCPs vs skills, AI sovereignty and security. At the end of the day, you don't want to lock your whole identity to an API, privacy and freedom of choice matter.

Thank you to every attendee for your energy, openness, and contributions. I'm already looking forward to coming back to London 💙

See you at Unconference #4 👀
