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.

Observable provides reactive notebooks for data visualization with D3, Plot, and JavaScript. Observable Framework for building data apps and dashboards.
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.”
“Observable Framework for data apps is excellent. Static site generation from data notebooks is the right approach.”
“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.”
“Observable Framework is the sleeper hit — build data dashboards as static sites with SQL and JavaScript.”
“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 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.”
“The best platform for creating interactive data visualizations. D3 integration and the reactive model are powerful.”
