Autopilot is an AI agent that acts like a superhuman PM. It digs through all your connected data sources, finds correlations you’d never think to check, and sends you the most important insight (plus what to do about it) on whatever schedule you choose.

Hey everyone, Max here from Basedash. Today we’re launching Autopilot: a feature that’s been secretly driving our own growth for the past few months. Autopilot is an AI agent that acts like a *superhuman PM*. It digs through all your connected data sources, finds correlations you’d never think to check, and sends you the most important insight (plus what to do about it) on whatever schedule you choose. This is the same agent we’ve been using internally to guide our roadmap. It has surfaced insights no human analyst would have looked for. And implementing those suggestions actually helped us 10x our activation rate. It runs 24/7, proactively scanning everything: product usage, funnels, retention, revenue, onboarding, PRs, you name it. Instead of building dashboards or sifting through metrics, you just give Autopilot light guidance, set the schedule, and let it work. We wake up every morning to a Slack message telling us what matters… and what to fix next. Teams are already using Autopilot for weekly company reports, social performance analysis, onboarding optimization, KPI monitoring, and even scanning signups for notable leads. Traditionally, Business Intelligence has been about answering your questions. Our vision for Basedash is analytics that tells you what questions you should be asking in the first place. Excited for you to try it! We’re giving the Product Hunt community an extra week on their trial if you sign up this week.

@maxmusing Could it also suggest experiments or A/B tests based on the insights it finds?

Max Musing

@masump absolutely. You can control the guidance for the AI, so you could tell it something like: "Use the data available to suggest targeted A/B tests that will help us optimize for conversions."

Then, with every report it generates, it will include that suggestion along with its other insights.

This feature is pretty powerful. We give our agent extra compute time and higher reasoning because it runs in the background and needs to research deeper because it needs to deliver results without a follow up.

I get to dogfood Basedash with my side project RYSE (a social fitness app).

I have a daily report I generate to monitor all Posts and Comments for offensive language, bugs, and things like that. I couldn't imagine doing this a year ago, but now I don't even have to think about it.

There's a few other super useful templates in the app like the Github change log which we use to publish our release notes for the public.

Max Musing

Pretty cool that you have an AI agent acting as a community moderator!

Really compelling feature here! I feel like this makes it highly accessible to be truly data driven now. No excuses.

Max Musing

@cobjorn 100%. It's so easy now, just connect your data and automatically get insights.

Kristofer Lachance

@cobjorn Really appreciate it, Coburn. We wanted to take analytics from “nice to have dashboards” to something proactive and genuinely accessible for every team.

Love that you built this to solve your own internal problem first. That 10x activation story in the description is wild. When Autopilot surfaces an insight, can I click 'Fix' to trigger a webhook (like in Linear/Slack) or is it purely informational for now?

Max Musing

It's on the roadmap! Imagine Autopilot updating your marketing site copy, running ad campaigns, updating your product onboarding flow...

Kristofer Lachance

@govindsajit Appreciate it, Govind! Today Autopilot focuses on surfacing the insight, but actionable steps are next. Webhooks / triggerable workflows are something we’re actively exploring.

Robert Cooper

I've really been enjoying waking up to the insights that Autopilot gives us directly in Slack. Some really good actionable advice that we get related to growth and engineering issues we need to resolve.

Kristofer Lachance

@robertcooper_rc yeah it's so cool to see in action, isn't it?!

Kristofer Lachance

Hey everyone! Kris from Basedash here 👋

Autopilot started as an internal experiment: what happens if an AI can watch all of your company’s data (product, revenue, onboarding, usage) and surface the things you don’t see?

The answer ended up being surprisingly impactful. Autopilot kept pointing out patterns we weren’t looking for, along with simple suggestions that compounded into real results. One of those insights helped us 10x our activation rate. Tbh we're a small team and don't have time to check every funnel and correlation every day.

That’s what I love about Autopilot: it doesn’t overwhelm you. It finds the single most important insight, explains why it matters, and tells you what to do next. It feels less like adding a super-capable teammate who never sleeps.

Excited to hear what Autopilot uncovers for you. Happy to answer questions throughout the day!

Basedash looks awesome! The natural language chart creation is a game changer. Wondering how Autopilot handles multiple data sources with conflicting information?

Kristofer Lachance

@jaydev13 Thanks! We integrate with 600+ data sources, and Autopilot’s AI reasons across whatever you connect.

Jay Dev

@kris_lachance Beautiful. All the best. I am launching my product next week, and would love to have your team check it out and tell me their thoughts.

Viktor Shumylo

Congrats on the launch! Love how this flips analytics from go look for answers to here’s the insight you didn’t know to ask about. How much guidance do teams typically need to give Autopilot before it starts producing meaningful signals?
