Introducing Roboflow Rapid: Build a Vision Model in Minutes, Not Weeks!

This new product is a major release that changes how custom computer vision models are built.

Here are the key details about the Roboflow Rapid release:

• Core Concept: Text prompt to vision model in minutes. Roboflow Rapid is the first prompt-based model creation engine designed to take you from an idea to a deployed model without manual data labeling.

• Problem Solved: Historically, training a computer vision model meant spending weeks labeling hundreds or thousands of images. Roboflow Rapid allows users to bypass this extensive manual process.

• How it Works (Simplified Process):

  1. Go to the Roboflow Rapid platform (https://rapid.roboflow.com/).

  2. Upload your images or a short video.

  3. Enter a simple text prompt describing the objects you want to find (e.g., "yellow cap," "missing part").

  4. The system immediately provides a working vision model that can find those objects.

• Benefit: The tool is designed to save users months of work by allowing them to skip the data collection and labeling phase and move straight to using AI to solve real-world visual problems.

For years, getting a computer vision (CV) model from a great idea to a deployed application has been a major hurdle. The biggest bottleneck? Labeling. Spending weeks manually drawing bounding boxes or masks on hundreds, sometimes thousands, of images just to get a first test model was the standard—until now.

We are thrilled to share the news about Roboflow Rapid, a groundbreaking product that is fundamentally changing how custom vision models are built. Roboflow Rapid is the fastest way to build custom vision models, turning a simple text prompt into a functional model in minutes.

The End of Manual Labeling is Here

Roboflow Rapid is the first-ever prompt-based model creation engine. This means you can bypass the laborious data labeling step entirely and jump straight to a deployed model.

As one of Roboflow’s Co-Founders noted, "Rapid is designed for people who have a visual problem to solve and want to get straight to the solution... without the model building process becoming a project in itself.” Early users have reported that Rapid has saved them months of work.

How Roboflow Rapid Works

The process is incredibly simple and focuses entirely on your goal, not the grunt work:

1. Go to the Platform: Visit rapid.roboflow.com.

2. Upload & Prompt: Upload a few of your images or a short video, and then enter a text prompt describing the objects you want to detect (e.g., "yellow cap," "damaged pipe," or "empty shelf").

3. Get Your Model: You instantly receive a deployed model capable of identifying those objects in your images and videos.

Imagine being able to solve a real-world problem—like counting items on a conveyor belt or inspecting manufacturing defects—simply by telling the model what to look for, instead of showing it a hundred examples first.

Roboflow Rapid is ushering in a new era of visual artificial intelligence, making it faster and easier than ever for teams to deploy AI solutions.
