Founder of @Basedash, AI-Native Business Intelligence

YC S20 🍊

[Max Musing @MaxMusing]

When we first launched Basedash over a year ago, our vision was to be the most AI-native BI platform on the planet.

Back then, the state of the art was simple text-to-SQL within the query editor of a single chart. Meanwhile, we actually had a prototype of this full-dashboard agent (but it wasn't good enough to launch).

Now that models (and our internal harness) have evolved, we're excited to bring the dashboard agent to everyone.

Connect any company data, tell it what you want to track, and we'll build the dashboard for you.

[Basedash @Basedash]

NEW: today we're releasing our Dashboard Agent.

The first AI agent that can build entire dashboards end-to-end.

No need to describe the chart types, metrics or time series. The AI does that all for you.

Build dashboards in seconds, not afternoons.

@DenySully Roll two dice, you only get to vote if you get double 6’s.

Optimize for lucky people.

@ImSh4yy Anyone else remember jailbreaking AI Dungeon to access GPT-3?

[Kris Lachance @KrisLachance]

Happy to announce the @Basedash Developer Platform.

Hundreds of companies use Basedash for AI analytics, and they eventually ask: "Can we put this in front of our own customers?”

Today, we're releasing a full-fledged platform to make this even easier. You can now build customer-facing AI analytics directly into your product with a single API.

We were one of the first-ever companies to support embedded AI analytics. With this launch, we're definitely the most developer-friendly ;)

Try it and let us know what you think.

Templates have been one of our most requested features for ages.

But I didn't want to build static templates. Products these days need to be more intelligent and personalized.

Now, our AI understands your needs and desires and surfaces them to you before you even ask.

[Basedash @Basedash]

Introducing Suggestions: personalized starting points for your AI chats, dashboards, and automations, generated from your own data.

Most BI tools start with a blank page and it's on you to know what to ask.

Basedash flips the script and makes the first move for you.

@recurrentneural that’s good alpha. brb implementing this policy now

People say 'why can't the founder smile?' Well. What IS a smile? It's an archetypal submission display, roughly 300 million years old. You smile at mile 21, you're telling the dominance hierarchy you've capitulated to Being itself. And that's no joke. That's NOT a joke.

Current optimal coding stack:

Fable 5 for thinking and planning
GPT-5.6 Sol for implementation
Grok 4.5 for anything simple

[Max Musing @MaxMusing]

We're currently in the stage of product building where we ship boring enterprise features that pump out tons of money.

I love it.

[Basedash @Basedash]

SCIM provisioning is now live in Basedash.

Your IdP stays the source of truth for who belongs.

Basedash keeps users, groups, and memberships in sync as the org changes, so nobody's doing app-by-app access cleanup.

@parker_brydon @Basedash Let's go!

[Kris Lachance @KrisLachance]

We're proud to announce that Purpose Unlimited has selected @Basedash as their AI-native Business Intelligence platform.

Welcome aboard!

[Max Musing @MaxMusing]

@boardyai shit maybe i'm smarter than fable after all

[Max Musing @MaxMusing]

Fable called my latest idea trash. A year ago it would have called me a visionary.

The world is healing.

[Max Musing @MaxMusing]

@_tenZdhon_ We’re scaling up our Toronto team at @Basedash

[Kris Lachance @KrisLachance]

We have a new tradition for each time we add a million dollars in ARR: Million-dollar meals.

Everyone on the team gets to take their loved ones out for a baller meal, paid for by @Basedash.

Got this idea from @jonnilundy and @zenorocha and props to them because it's genius.

Such a nice way to thank everyone for their hard work.

We just crossed another milestone so... Bon appetit!
