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 congrats on the launch! this is so cool for data teams. Have you considered adding features like automated data storytelling or customizable dashboards for deeper insights?
Tom Johnson
@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.
Max Musing
Max Musing
@masump yes, very excited to move in that direction. Stay tuned for future launches 😉
Kristofer Lachance
@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?
Josh Williams
Congrats on the launch y'all! Really really impressive to see this come together!
Max Musing
Thank you Josh! I still remember that early design sprint we did a couple years ago. Come a long way since then.
Tom Johnson
Thanks @jw! It's been a wild ride to be sure. So much has changed over the last year, would love for you to try it out!
Kristofer Lachance
@jw Thanks so much for the kind words, Josh!
Travisse Hansen
Congrats on the launch! Nothing but nice things to say - team is fast and craft focused. Excited to keep using and hopefully onboard our whole team
Max Musing
Thanks @travissehansen! Excited to have the whole team onboard.
Pontus Abrahamsson
This is next level, looks amazing!
Max Musing
Thank you @pontusab!
Tom Johnson
Thanks @pontusab! Would love to get you all at @Midday using it, since your app is one of the ones I've been constantly referencing for a super clean aesthetic. Also, you've got some data visualizations that I'm hoping we can add soon. All we need is a little user nudge...
Kristofer Lachance
@pontusab That is so kind of you to say! Thank you!
Tommy Geoco
Really excited to see how this works. I'm not sure if my use-case is good for this: publishing annual surveys about design tools once per year and the batch data is stored locally. But I would be really interested in trying to extend this in some way to build UI and visualizations with it. Any any rate, beautiful product and great launch. One of my favorite designers too (Tom Johnson).
Tom Johnson
@designertom Not sure how either, but I'd be really stoked if we could get that data set up in a way you could use it. I'd imagine that you could bring in all of the data from the past years. We did that with our State of Databases survey a few years ago and even though it was early days of AI in Basedash, it was really cool to see what insights we could pull out of it.
Max Musing
@designertom really interesting use case! Definitely worth trying out.
Tom Johnson
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!
Pedro Duarte
Congrats on the launch fam. Loved the promo video!
Kristofer Lachance
@peduarte Thank you so much! We're massive Raycast fans. Love the launch video you all did last week - one of the best I've ever seen.
Tom Johnson
Thanks so much @peduarte! Coming from you that is high praise. You all at Raycast are the masters of making promo videos.
Max Musing
Thanks @peduarte, we're all huge fans of Raycast!
Derek Reynolds
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!
Dave Jeffery
Love this, congrats @maxmusing, @tomjohndesign and team! Hoping that Firestore support will arrive some day. 😅
Tom Johnson
@davej Thanks! Firebase? Yes. Firestore... gahh not so much. We'll be sure to let you know when that support is on the roadmap!
Max Musing
Haha, maybe possible now! Will have to look into this, we can support a ton more data sources now.
Zeno Rocha
Amazing product, super excited about this new phase!
Kristofer Lachance
Thank you so much for the praise, @zenorocha! We are huge fans of Resend and have always been inspired by your championship for software craft, so this means a lot to us.
Max Musing
Thank you @zenorocha, us too!
Tom Johnson
@zenorocha thanks! We're very excited too.
Steven Fabre
Great product and great team! Congrats on the launch!
Max Musing
Thank you @stevenfabre! We're using Liveblocks to power live presence across the app, it's been great.
Tom Johnson
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??" 🤣
Kristofer Lachance
@stevenfabre Thanks so much for the kind words! Team has been super happy to be powering some core elements of the app.
Grant Shaddick
Love the new direction and rebrand. Stoked for you guys!
Max Musing
Thank you @9rantys!

Can you connect slack to this? like GA4 -> bashdash -> post summary on slack?
Tom Johnson
@sentry_co yes! We have a slack integration right now that allows you to send any chart you make straight to slack, and that includes GA4 data if you have it hooked up. We have our GA hooked up and it's awesome not having to go into the console for the metrics or to dig into data. There's a ton more planned around automatic sharing and a deeper integration with Slack, would love to have you test it out and see what you think.
Max Musing
We support sharing charts to Slack. Planning to expand support to allow sharing on a schedule!
@Basedash has an incredible new platform that makes it very easy to create custom dashboard and views for your data. Can't recommend it enough!
Kristofer Lachance
@basedash @jdsimcoe thanks so much! do you use a lot of tools like these?
Tom Johnson
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.
Max Musing
Thanks Jonathan, appreciate 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. 📈
Kristofer Lachance
@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.
Tom Johnson
@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.
Max Musing
@chrismessina thanks for hunting Basedash! We're all stoked to ship this too.
Alexandre Bouchard
I've been testing the new Basedash for a few months and the amount of craft the team has put into it is unreal. Practically wether you know SQL or not isn't the point anymore it's just so much fastest to iterate on a query with plain text. Let's go!!
Max Musing
Yup totally agree, I've been using AI almost exclusively now within the app. Definitely changed in the past few months, I expect it to get even more clear in the coming months.

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.
Tom Johnson
@ivan_garcia95 Thanks Ivan! And thanks again for all of the work you and the Reboot team did with us on the Marketing site. You all are best in class.
