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.

Rival.tips
Fingerprints the writing style of 178 AI models and maps the clusters

Rival.tips is a research tool and interactive visualization that fingerprints the stylistic DNA of 178 AI language models — measuring vocabulary patterns, sentence structure preferences, hedging language frequency, formality registers, and punctuation habits — then clusters them into a navigable map showing which models write like which. The result is a kind of "accent atlas" for AI: you can see at a glance that GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet cluster together on formality but diverge sharply on hedging language, while Llama-3 and Mistral write more similarly to each other than either does to any OpenAI or Anthropic model. The tool works by running a standardized suite of 40 prompts across all 178 models, extracting 120 stylometric features per response, and reducing the high-dimensional space to an interactive 2D UMAP projection. The Show HN post hit 68 points with discussion focusing on the methodological choices and surprising cluster assignments — several models that market themselves as distinct turned out to be nearly indistinguishable stylistically. Practical applications include AI content detection research, model selection for brand voice matching, and detecting when a provider has silently updated their model (stylometric drift is often detectable before the provider announces it). The methodology and raw data are fully open.
Reviewer scorecard
“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.”
“The stylometric drift detection use case alone makes this worth bookmarking — being able to empirically verify when a model has been updated rather than relying on changelogs is genuinely useful for production systems that depend on consistent output behavior.”
“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.”
“Stylometric analysis based on 40 prompts is a fragile basis for strong claims about model identity. Writing style varies wildly with prompt framing, temperature, and system prompt — the clusters here may be measuring prompt sensitivity as much as genuine model character.”
“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.”
“As AI-generated text becomes the default for much of the written web, tools that can map and distinguish model identities are going to be foundational for authenticity, attribution, and detecting when models are being impersonated or copied.”
“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.”
“For brand voice work this is immediately useful — I can finally have a data-driven answer to 'which model sounds most like our brand' rather than vibes-based prompt testing. The visual cluster map is intuitive and genuinely fun to explore.”
