We first launched @Basedash earlier this year as an AI-native chart builder. You just describe the chart you want, and Basedash uses AI to visualize your data, no SQL required.
Now we're gearing up for our biggest update yet, launching here on Product Hunt tomorrow. Without spoiling anything, it should enable many more business users to finally get the data answers they need, without bugging engineers or data analysts on their team.

The approval gate design is the detail that stands out most — "needs approval" by default before flipping to "always allow" is exactly the right trust model for agents that can actually write to production systems. A lot of agentic tools skip this and it's why people don't trust them with real workflows.
The cross-system chaining is where this gets interesting. Curious how it handles failures mid-chain — if the DB read succeeds but the HubSpot write fails, does it roll back, notify, or just log and move on? That failure handling is usually where these workflows quietly break in practice.
Also wondering if MCP servers you self-host get the same approval UX or if that's only for the pre-built connectors.

@saumya_jainn Approval was really important for us, especially moving from a purely read-only product to now supporting mutations. The user always has full control of what the agent tries to do, and if they're comfortable giving more access, they can allow the agent to auto-approve selected tools.
If a tool call ever fails, the agent sees the error message and can retry as it sees fit (including rolling back if necessary).
And approval works for all MCP servers! Pre-built or custom.

The thing I keep coming back to with MCP Connectors is that the highest-leverage work in any company already lives across three or four systems, and until now there hasn't been a clean way to let an agent operate on that whole surface from one place. Reading from your warehouse and then acting in Linear, HubSpot, or Slack in the same chat session is a meaningfully different shape of tool than the dashboards most of us grew up with. The team has been deep in this for months and it feels great to finally ship. Happy to dig into anything in the thread today.

@kris_lachance Basedash is more and more becoming the place I do most of my ops work these days.
