Basedash is an AI-native business intelligence platform that lets anyone build dashboards by describing what they want in plain English — no SQL, no drag-and-drop layout work, no data engineering tickets. You describe "weekly signups by acquisition channel for the last 6 months" and Basedash writes the query, selects the right chart type, and produces a shareable dashboard in seconds. The Dashboard Agent goes beyond one-off queries: it maintains context, iterates on requests, and integrates directly into Slack so non-technical team members can ask data questions without routing through an analyst. Behind the scenes it connects to 750+ integrations including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, and Google Analytics. A new zero data-retention mode for AI features addresses compliance requirements at enterprises with strict data governance policies. Basedash is competing in a crowded BI space (Metabase, Looker, Redash) by going AI-native from day one rather than retrofitting natural language onto an existing product. The April 2026 Product Hunt relaunch focuses on agent-driven workflows — a positioning shift that signals the market may finally be ready for "describe it, get it" as the default BI interaction model.

Dreambase is an AI-native analytics layer built specifically for teams running Supabase. Instead of setting up ETL pipelines, warehouses, or separate BI tools, you define reusable "Skills" — bundles of data sources (Supabase tables, Stripe, PostHog, external APIs, MCPs), business logic, and visualization rules. AI agents then use these Skills to generate accurate dashboards and reports on demand, understanding your data model without re-explaining it every session. Setup is frictionless: Dreambase automatically scans your database schema during onboarding and prepopulates Skills based on what it finds. Real-time updates flow directly from your Supabase connection without data replication. Row-Level Security policies are respected, keeping multi-tenant apps safe. Skills can be defined via CLI, API, or MCP, and other agents can call them — making Dreambase composable within larger agentic workflows. The product targets teams who want fast analytics without a dedicated data engineer. If you're a small startup on Supabase that needs dashboards but can't justify Snowflake + dbt + Metabase, this is the most direct path from "Postgres tables" to "agents that understand my business." Free tier available to start.
Reviewer scorecard
“I replaced two hours of weekly reporting work in fifteen minutes. The SQL generation is accurate enough that I don't second-guess it anymore, and the Slack bot means non-technical stakeholders ask it directly instead of pinging me for queries.”
“The MCP integration is smart — this plays well with Claude and other agentic tools that already know the MCP protocol. Auto-discovering your schema and creating Skills is the right default UX for a tool like this.”
“750 integrations means 750 ways for the AI to generate subtly wrong queries on edge-case schema patterns. In a BI tool where wrong numbers have financial consequences, I want query validation and confidence scoring before putting this in front of finance or investors.”
“This solves a real problem but only if you're all-in on Supabase. If you have data in multiple places, the 'no ETL needed' pitch breaks down fast. Also, 'agents that always understand your business' is a big claim for an early-stage product.”
“Natural language BI is the beginning of the end for analyst roles that primarily translate business questions into SQL. What survives and thrives is the higher-order work of asking the right questions — not writing the queries to answer them.”
“Bundling business context alongside data access is the right abstraction for the agentic era. Skills as reusable primitives that multiple agents can share is the architecture that survives as tooling matures.”
“Describing a dashboard and embedding the result in a client deliverable without touching a spreadsheet feels like working in the future. Basedash makes data storytelling accessible to people who think visually, not in SQL.”
“As someone who regularly needs quick data visualizations without writing SQL, auto-generated dashboards from a natural-language query sounds incredibly useful. Less time fighting with chart config, more time actually analyzing.”
