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.

about the customization controls. you mention deciding which features customers see but how granular does that actually get. like can i show the dashboard view and hide the AI chat entirely for certain customer tiers, or is it more of an all-or-nothing toggle. that distinction matters a lot if you're trying to gate analytics features by plan without building a separate integration for each tier
Basedash
@ansari_adin you can get super fine-grained and control which users can access which features within Basedash. We expose parameters on the embed code so you can control it programmatically per user.
BaseDash is so, so goated. @maxmusing built tech that made me fall in love with BI, again. The insights generated from just plugging in, like, PostHog & a couple others = insane.
I do, candidly, wish it were more affordable, or that they offered plans that were more accommodating of early stage companies, since I think those startups could benefit the most from the data surfaced by BaseDash, but I get it... it's definitely worth what they're charging, but the Basic plan paywalls so many of the useful features (MCP servers, full source support, etc.) that you're really looking at $1k/mo... maybe some sort of a program like Intercom & others offer, where a company can qualify for a special 1-2 year "growth startup" package, could be apropos?
Really excellent tech, nothing quite like it. It's worth running a trial if you have a SaaS product with even minimal traffic, and are using something like PostHog, MixPanel, Amplitude, Fathom, GA, databases, etc.
Keep up the great work, Max - I hope you consider opening up some non-technical roles on that /careers page someday! ;) (I'm gainfully/happily employed, mind you! but BD is one I'd consider joining...)
How customizable are the embedded dashboards?
Basedash
@nithin_raju1 every individual feature (AI chat, dashboards, automations, insights) can be toggled on/off, and charts can use any of 9 different colors. You also have full control over the AI system prompt so you can control output format, voice, etc.
We've found that users often ask for analytics but end up wanting answers rather than dashboards.
Are you seeing customers primarily embed charts, or are people starting to ask for more conversational/AI-driven ways to interact with their data?
Basedash
@samyak_sanklecha seeing both quite often!

Hi friends! Kris here, also from Basedash.
The before-and-after on this one still gets me. Adding analytics to your product used to mean a quarter of eng time and a permanent maintenance tax. Now it's an iframe and a JWT.
And your customers get the full product. The agent, dashboards they build themselves, insights that show up on their own, all scoped to their own data.
If you've ever had a customer ask for a dashboard inside your app and quietly winced, this is the one to try.
Drop your questions below, I'll be around all day.
