Basedash launch demo 1: What is Basedash

This was the first of the demos I posted on launch day, when Basedash went live on Product Hunt (0:07), and it answers the question of what Basedash actually is. It's the first AI-native BI platform. We took business intelligence apps, the Metabase, Looker and Tableau kind of stuff, and reinvented how they work with AI at the core (0:19).

You connect your data. Here it's the database for Dockhunt, an app we made a while ago, so you can see the table structure and all the data inside it, and then you make dashboards, like this one hooked up to some variables (0:34). So how technical do you have to be? I can't write SQL, so not very (0:52). I asked for a list of all the apps sorted by popularity, typo and all, and it knew what I meant, wrote the query, chose the visualization and returned the results. It didn't even need to ask what popular meant (1:11).

Then I asked for the top apps ranked, a prompt I don't think I'd used before, and it wrote a new query and showed it as a bar chart (1:34). For user growth over time it wrote the query, hooked it up to the right chart and made it cumulative, a whole bunch of stuff in the background (1:56).

You can drag things around the dashboard, or open a chart full screen to see the full SQL editor and the chart with the whole chat history beside them, kind of like Cursor (2:09). There's the entire schema to explore and variables to add, and I went through the charts, the SQL editor and variables in the demos that followed. But that's Basedash in a nutshell: you hook up your data, you ask the AI to create visualizations for it, and it just does it (2:29).

When I posted it on X I wrote:

Launch day, demo day.
