We first launched @Basedash earlier this year as an AI-native chart builder. You just describe the chart you want, and Basedash uses AI to visualize your data, no SQL required.
Now we're gearing up for our biggest update yet, launching here on Product Hunt tomorrow. Without spoiling anything, it should enable many more business users to finally get the data answers they need, without bugging engineers or data analysts on their team.

@maxmusing This is a genuinely clever approach to dashboard creation. The ability to go from vague prompt to useful output in seconds while still respecting more specific requests is the hard part most tools get wrong. Curious how you handle cases where the AI's SQL interpretation doesn't match what the user actually meant—do you surface that discrepancy easily so they can correct it.

Super pumped about this. The part that took the longest wasn't generating SQL, it was figuring out what "a thoughtful default" actually means.
When someone types "everything about new signups," what do they really want to see first? Which chart type carries the headline number vs. the breakdown? How many KPIs before it stops feeling useful? We rebuilt the layout logic a bunch of times, and the version that shipped is the one where dashboards started feeling like something a person made, not something a model generated. Which is super cool!
Would love to hear what kinds of dashboards you try it on... the weirder the prompt, the more useful the feedback!

@kris_lachance it's so much fun to watch the agent stream in charts as they're built and figure out the optimal layout.
The "thoughtful defaults" piece is where I'd expect this to break down in practice. If I ask for "MRR and churn this quarter" and my data model has three different tables that could plausibly be "revenue" — does the agent ask me to clarify, or does it just pick one and hope? How does it handle ambiguous schema without turning into a back-and-forth chatbot?

This is so good. Feels like the result of a lot of hard work, product vision and full-stack polish coming together. This is the way to interact with data.

Appreciate it @dexter_storey! Definitely a lot of hard work coming together on this launch.
