Basedash is the AI-native Business Intelligence platform. Create dashboards and instantly understand your customers using natural language. Connect 500+ data sources, ask a question, and let Basedash visualize the answer.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Super excited to be back here again - we first launched Basedash all the way back in 2019.
A lot has changed since then. AI has completely upended the way teams can work with their data, so 6 months ago we decided to build a whole new product from the ground up.
Basedash connects directly to your database and instantly understands your schema. Just chat naturally with your data. Ask things like “Show me top customers by revenue” and get immediate visualizations. No SQL required.
We built in things like:
💬 Natural language queries that actually work (i.e. no more half-baked results from ChatGPT)
⚡ Instant schema understanding - connect and query in minutes
🛠️ 550+ data source integrations
⌨️ Lightning-fast 60 FPS interface with full keyboard shortcuts
🔒 SOC 2 compliant with zero impact on your production DB
Since this is the first big launch of our AI-native platform, we’re doing white glove onboarding to make sure that everything is configured perfectly. As thanks, we'll prioritize anyone who signs up from Product Hunt.
Would love your feedback! If you could chat with your data, what questions would you ask?
@maxmusing@masump Hey Masum! Right now all of the Dashboards are fully customizable. You can make them however you want, that's the main benefit of the product. As a matter of fact, we have a dashboard made just for this launch, tracking all of the metrics, signups etc. They only take minutes to make since you don't have to write any SQL.
As far as the automated storytelling... well you'll have to stay tuned for what we have in mind next. I'm very excited for what we can make with this new platform.
@maxmusing@masump That's a great idea! Customizable dashboards are already available, definitely let us know what you think. Automated storytelling is a great idea. Which feature would you use more?
We’ve been heads-down for the past year refining every detail of our new AI-native platform. Our goal was to build something that feels genuinely magical—just ask a question in plain English and get a solid, trustworthy answer, and the best possible way to visualize the underlying data. We invested a ton of effort into making sure the AI truly understands your database schema right away, no matter how complex, so that you don't have to.
One thing I’m personally excited about is how fast it all feels. We wanted zero lag, which is why we prioritized 60 FPS performance, instant loads, server-side caching, and full keyboard shortcuts. We've pulled a lot of inspiration from power user apps like Superhuman and Linear, and want to be sure that we're not only making an app that's easy to use, but that gets out of your way and lets you find answers to as many questions as possible as quickly as possible.
Join the beta, and we’ll give you a hand with the white glove onboarding.
Thanks for checking us out—excited to see what you all make with it!
One nice benefit for me in building this new product is that I got to dogfood it extensively by replacing/consolidating my Mixpanel, AppStore, and Quicksight dashboards for my other product (RYSE).
I have 4 pretty permanent dashboards now and make a lot of adhoc dashboards to track new features:
- All time app-wide metrics (# users, # workouts, device type, gender distribution, app settings breakdowns, etc)
- a User specific dashboard (user lifetime value, user details, workout metrics, etc)
- Trends (retention over time, referrals, user interests, etc)
- Operational dashboard for stuff that happens every day (new user referrals, flagged posts, new subscribers, etc)
It was super fast and easy to generate all of the charts for these dashboards.
Kind of crazy how blind I was before this.
@bryan_hunter Can't overstate how valuable it was to have you dogfooding this for RYSE while building it. You know what you need to know, and adding those features for yourself was super cool to see.
Thanks @stevenfabre! Love using @Liveblocks in the product, thanks for all of the help getting it set up to work with the Monaco editor. It's awesome to have a collaborative SQL editor, and I'm really looking forward to adding more levels of collaboration into the product over the next few months. I think the team is probably tired of hearing me say "When can we add liveblocks here??" 🤣
@jeremysarchet1 Thanks! Want to pass the credit to @ivan_garcia95 and the team at Reboot Studios. They did amazing work and I was thrilled to have extra help.
Spent far too much time learning SQL in my days as a PM and having tested Basedash a few months ago I'm still thinking about how I wish I had this tool sooner.
Stoked on what the team is building.
@colderoshay Thanks so much, Cole! Can definitely relate to the pains of writing half-baked SQL at midnight when your data team isn't online but you just desperately need those metrics 😅 Hope you like what we've been making!
@colderoshay That means a ton! Thanks again for the feedback, it was super helpful. I've tried and failed to learn SQL a few times, so I'm grateful that I don't have to worry about that any more. Makes understanding users so much easier.
Haha, me too. Newer AI models are getting really good at writing complex SQL against arbitrary schemas. Has been crazy to feel the improvements so directly while building the product and upgrading the underlying models.
@steventey High praise! I've been recently using the work that you've done at @Dub.co with the conversion charts for some inspiration for when we tackle that type of chart. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the new app and seeing what you make with it!
Loved supporting the @Basedash team on their Product Hunt launch!
The team really shines with their super refined design aesthetic and ability to ship fast. Their data visualizations are stunning and incredibly intuitive to create — you simply ask a question about what you want to see, and their AI determines the optimal way to represent it, and pulls the right data directly from your database or data source.
Highly recommend checking this out — it's a super polished product and I'm stoked for this launch. 📈
@basedash@chrismessina Thanks so much for the kind words, Chris! We REALLY sweated the details on this new direction for the platform, so it means the world to me and the whole team to hear you say such kind things about the end result.
@basedash@chrismessina Thanks for hunting us and the feedback on the website and copy! Really excited for others to see the potential you see in our product. We've obviously biased so it's great to hear that we are on to something.
We've been heads down building this for nearly a year. So excited that the world finally get to see this.
I'm especially stoked about this launch as someone who's a non-technical repeat founder and marketer. I've always wanted to be better at business intelligence but you always just feel so hamstrung as someone who isn't technical.
Sure, tools like Mode and Metabase have done a lot to make their platforms more user-friendly and intuitive, especially with the ability to build charts with UI instead of just SQL. But the reality is that the BI tools from the pre-AI era were really built for data scientists and data analysts. That means you have to rely on other people to get your data, and you're just never going to build as many dashboards as you'd like since you don't want to bother them.
I've been personally blown away while using it for my own selfish workflows at Basedash. You just ask the chat whatever you'd ask a data scientist on your team and you immediately get a comprehensive, beautiful dashboard. It's made me 100x better at my job.
Let us know what you think!
Thanks @jdsimcoe! Also really appreciate the feedback you gave last month during the alpha release! I'm sure data is locked up tight at Mercury, but I'd love to see you all try it out and see how it feels with real product data someday.
Congrats on the launch team, it looks amazing! I've been fortunate to work closely with the Basedash team during the development of this new version, and it's incredible to see the amount of care and detail they've put into it. This truly feels like the future of BI, where we can focus on asking the right questions, regardless of our SQL expertise.
@odedw Whenever you're ready to try it, let me know. I know the whole team at @Spinach AI would get a ton of use out of it, and during the beta we're helping everyone set up a data warehouse if you don't have one configured.
@odedw Thank you so much for the kind words, Oded! We've put so, so much thought into the design and user experience, so it's great to hear that this resonates with you.
Super pumped on this launch. The team did such an amazing job making this come to life. I've used a lot of BI/Collaborative SQL tools and I feel like we've nailed the balance of power features with a simple experience. Every time we get a bug report from a user I am able to spin up a new dashboard and have relevant context within minutes. TTF (Time To Fix) has gone way down! For real though if you're in need of business insights ASAP start with us. No engineering intervention needed. Start talking with your data immediately and when you need more analytics/events we'll be ready for that as well with upcoming features like Warehouse and Session Replay.
Enjoy!
@evan_farrell Thank you so much for the kind words! We're lucky to have you as one of our first customers. Awesome to work with great builders like you!
The key thing is to understand an audience or your consumers, for that reason that's why I think that BaseDash is fantastically positioned for the future & it'll be exactly what people need.
Let's go Max & team, all the way to the top!
Totally agree, it's super important to understand your users deeply. We've been building tons of internal dashboard to track important usage metrics around our product.
Are there any key metrics you're currently tracking?
I was lucky to be involved in some early testing of this, and – can confirm – it's a dream for non-technical folks. The process feels so intuitive. I think a lot of other companies will look to this as the gold standard of dashboard creation. Excited to see how the final version turned out.
@drewmart1n Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm non-technical myself, so it's music to my ears to hear that the platform is resonating with a similar audience. Excited to ship more features.
@drewmart1n Dude thanks for giving that feedback. It was really helpful to see you use the app. I'm happy to say that just in the last month since you've used it it's gotten even faster and better. We made a ton of changes. Excited for you to try it!
