Preswald - AI agent for building data apps, dashboards and reports
Preswald is an AI agent that helps you build dashboards, internal tools, and data apps. It gives you a fast, reactive runtime, built-in UI components (tables, charts, inputs), and one-click deployment to share your app in the cloud or browser.

👋 Hey everyone — this is Amrutha and Shivam, co-founders of Structured Labs (YC S23) and the makers of Preswald (https://preswald.com), launching today.
Preswald is a programmable environment where you can build and deploy interactive Python data apps entirely in the browser. It’s like Replit meets Streamlit, but reactive, stateful, and tailored for data workflows, like investment reports, financial analyses, and product metric breakdowns.
You get:
- A real project+file system
- A Pyodide-based runtime (runs in-browser: this is the coolest part; you don't need a backend to run Python analysis code!)
- A code editor + live preview
- An AI agent that writes and refactors code in-place, just like Cursor, but optimized for data reports
- One-click deploys (Structured Cloud, GCP, or static export: you can just click a button and share with friends and teammates without having to worry about hosting services or cloud systems)
Why we built it:
We saw founders, PMs, and analysts doing their best thinking in Jupyter notebooks or ad-hoc scripts but getting those insights into usable tools meant jumping through too many hoops (frontend code, hosting, auth, etc.). We wanted to stay in Python, and still ship real apps. Creating interactive reports with user-facing drilldowns, filters, and more, can now be done by anyone with a tiny bit of coding experience, without complex deployments or hosting, just like we can all now do for general apps with tools like Bolt and Lovable!
Preswald is built around a reactive runtime: every component or computation is a tracked atom. Change a slider, update a threshold, rerun just the affected logic. The same Python file can run client-side or on a FastAPI server with zero changes to your code.

@amrutha____ Congrats on the launch! Looks great!
Preswald
@will_megson Thanks Will!
Andi
@amrutha____ Congrats on the launch and great work!
@amrutha____ amazing product! good to know that you are YC backed.
Heartiest Congratulations
@amrutha____ It's disappointing to see job postings where candidates are asked to star your repositories and perform QA tasks as part of a so-called "coding assignment." This practice comes off as exploitative. If you need QA, consider hiring professionals rather than disguising unpaid work as part of the recruitment process.
Holy crap this looks awesome. What kind of projects have you seen ?
I use supabase right now, is it a good fit for me to use this for creating an internal tool? Eg: Updating users accounts on the fly for my b2b saas
@maddie_wang Yes! People have been using Preswald for everything from internal admin dashboards to customer support tools, lightweight CMS setups, and custom B2B ops panels. If you’re building anything that needs flexible, fast UIs on top of your data, it’s a great fit.
Preswald
@maddie_wang You can certainly use it for internal tools. The most common use-cases are often dashboards (like KPI dashboards, log analytics dashboards). For supabase, you can set up a DB connection or pull in a CSV
Preswald is awesome! We use it for our interactive, data-driven blog posts, and I wish I could've used it when I was a dashboarding fiend at my previous jobs!
Preswald
@akshay_chalana Thank you so much! Interactive blog posts are an interesting application of data apps
Clustr
Preswald
@timcha Thank you tim! Looking forward to seeing what you build with it
Persana AI for Prospecting
awesome product! congrats @Preswald team!
Preswald
@rushhour thanks rush!
DevKit
Wohoo, huge congratulations on the launch 🥳 🚀
Was tinkering around with a similar idea a while back, such an awesome execution 🗿
Preswald
@itsharshag thank you harsh! still day 1 and a lot to build
Preswald
@itsharshag thanks! Did you end up releasing that anywhere? Would love to check it out!
Pictory
This looks like an amazing product! This is the next generation of business intelligence — agentic BI. Awesome!
Preswald
@vikcha Completely agreed - agentic + code-first!
Persana AI for Prospecting
This will be a serious game changer and time saver for startups who don't have the team and a lot of resources to spend. Love this!
Preswald
@rohan_pathak2 Exactly -- it should be much easier than it is today to set up basic dashboards and data apps. AI code gen + opinionated frameworks should solve for this
Lancey
Great work, this is awesome. Sharing this with the team to get them on it!
Preswald
@adi_patel Woo! Good to get Lancey team using this!
Lancey
Can't wait to check it out. Awesome product.
Preswald
@patel_abhi Looking forward to seeing what you build with this abhi!
Dealwise
Congrats on the launch! Does it come with integrations?
Preswald
@ayan_bandyopadhyay yes it does - you can connect to postgres, clickhouse. works with CSV, parquet, JSON and more!
DocsHound
Congrats, looks really nice
Preswald
@k_piotr Thank you piotr!
As a developer, this simplifies app building! 👍
Preswald
@shenjun That's the goal! Our agent helps with writing the code, and with deploying so it's easier to not only build the apps but deploy them too
Reworkd
Congrats on the launch guys!
Preswald
@srijan__subedi thanks srijan!
Bilanc
looks awesome! i used to work in data so feel the pain heavy!
great work. can't wait to try it!
Preswald
@0x_s13i Us too, that's why we're so excited about this. thanks for trying it samuel :)
Lume
Congrats on the launch!! Can you help me understand more on what I should focus on using preswald for? Should I think of it more like a notebook to generate quick BI and prototypes for internal use cases? More for data scientists executing business questions? Other?
Killer product, love the sharing feature.
Preswald
@nicolas_machado Thanks! You can think of it as a way to productionize, share and collaborate on the one-off analyses you may be doing in a notebook. There's always a bit of a graduation problem with tools like notebooks -- they're fine for individual users doing truly one-off work. But for anything you want to persist as an artifact and share, preswald will work well
Preswald
@nicolas_machado if you have a bunch of CSVs that get generated and then lost, it's good for versioning and persisting (to Amrutha's point) those analyses.
Congrats on the launch! Does Preswald currently support connecting to external data sources (eg. via APIs)? If yes, how would that be done?
Preswald
@jonathanlowhy Yes! You can add API as a data source. https://docs.preswald.com/ has more information on how to do so
Preswald
@jonathanlowhy API, Files (JSON, CSV, Parquet), DBs (Postgres, Clickhouse) all supported, with more coming. And we're always looking for OSS contributors to help build more :)
WalkSmart
Nice, congrats on the launch!
Preswald
@marcelokunze thank you marcelo!
Congratulations, @amrutha____ !
What's your future plan of Preswald?
Your product makes me wonder how your next update will be like.
A platform? or a B2B report Saas?
Anyways, Good luck :)
Preswald
@pritraveler We are making some big improvements to our agent to aid in not just app creation but data storytelling more deeply
Preswald
@pritraveler @amrutha____ and an underlying platform for sharing these apps, local-first.
Nowadays
Congrats Amrutha and team!! I spent so many hours building dashboards in previous business analyst and data roles - this is such a time saver and can’t wait to use it!!
Preswald
@amysunyan Thank you Amy! I often think back to the conversations we had last summer about data :)
