Hey ProductHunt, we’re back with something magical! We call it Dropbase AI. Dropbase is the first internal tools building platform that is natively built for AI. It’s a new kind of experience for building internal tools and backend operations software fast. You can prompt with natural language and our AI generates code that deeply understands how to build apps with our own web framework specifically designed for internal tools. Dropbase is built for developers. It is self-hosted, local-first, Python-based, and deeply integrates with your codebase and CI/CD. Best of all, it’s free for developers! You can use Dropbase to quickly build anything from admin panels, billing dashboards, and internal engineering tools that can fetch data and trigger action across any internal or external service. Join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/K4Hys7Czzp We'll host 2 special live events today! - LinkedIn Live @ 10am PT: https://www.linkedin.com/events/... - Discord Live Stage @ 12pm (Noon) PT: https://discord.gg/x8BYN5u8?even...

@jimmyechan Great job guys! Keep on developing more tools like this. As usual very helpful and very promising. Congrats on the launch!
Jimmy E. Chan
@pablo_patino thank you for the support and encouragement!
Anson Kao
Holyyy, this looks amazing!! Can't wait to try it. Great job guys Jimmy and AZ!

Dropbase makes building internal tools and backend operations software so much faster and easier. Great job on the launch, Jimmy!
Jimmy E. Chan
@thetlinthu thank you! give it try!
Derek Pankaew
This is awesome! Retool is super clunky and hard to use, excited for a better alternative

I pulled this and used it for a database connected to a bunch of internal user metrics recently and I was blown away by how simple it was to just generate entire UI components, functions, filters, and views of the data with just natural language. It's insane what y'all have built here. All those people making data dashboards are in for a ride when this tool 100x their speed and output. In fact, 100x is probably too small. Dropbase is a 10,000x. Being OSS is also a huge win. My only ask is can **we please get charts**!
Jimmy E. Chan
@tim_carambat thank you for the feedback! we've had early discussions on how to implement charts. we'll be working on them! one of the advantages we have is that we can leverage the python ecosystem to power them, given that all the function logic is 100% python @ayazhan_zhakhan.

People always think no-code means no-work, but now with this AI builder its pretty much no-work :). Congrats on the launch.
Jimmy E. Chan
@manggit thank you! totally. I also think of no code as "AI generates the code, and you approve it"

Great use and a cool implementation
Jimmy E. Chan
@notthatparker thank you! one of the key principles for the design and implementation of Dropbase AI was: "if we make this design decision, will it make it easier or harder for GPT to get it". This is one of the main reasons why it integrates well
Otto Soderlund
Looks very cool. Easy and smooth! Congrats on the launch!
Jimmy E. Chan
@otto_soderlund thank you! yes, and you'll love the flexibility of just adding a few lines of code to get the app behavior you need!

Dropbase AI looks like a great solution for quickly building internal tools. How does it compare to other low-code/no-code platforms in terms of flexibility and customization? Any specific industries or use cases where it particularly shines?
Jimmy E. Chan
@kyrylosilin thanks Kyrylo! Existing low-code/no code tools confine developers to building app logic by filling up UI forms with endless settings and configs. The result is massive learning curves. In fact, many orgs using them have entire teams dedicated to building and maintaining apps. Developers want the flexibility to just write a few lines of code that helps them achieve the functions they want. Existing platforms aren’t flexible enough to do this. In some cases they allow it, but code is saved as separate snippets that are a nightmare to manage and keep track of. Finally, existing tools make it hard to integrate with other services: you often need to wait on them to add an integration before you can use it. Dropbase lets declare UI and/or describe behavior in natural language to get the code you need. You can then review and commit the code and your app updates instantly. Because it's all code, you can integrate with anything you want without waiting on us!

Wow this looks incredibly powerful, well done team!
Jimmy E. Chan
@bijanv thanks Bijan!
Adam Dorfman
This looks insanely useful! I'll definitely have to try this out, seems much faster than putting together Retool dashboards by hand 🚀🚀🚀
Jimmy E. Chan
@dorf thanks! totally. you get way more control with writing code. best of all it's Python ❤️
