Introducing Basedash Autopilot
Dec 10, 2025
Max Musing
Today we’re excited to introduce Autopilot, the next evolution of Basedash.
Autopilot is an AI agent that proactively analyzes your data, finds the most important insights, and automatically surfaces them to your team.
Autopilot is a major upgrade to Reports, a beta feature many of our customers have been using for the past few months.
What began as a simple scheduled summary tool has grown into something far more powerful: an autonomous, always-on partner that helps you understand what’s happening in your business… and why.
Why we built Autopilot
Most companies still make decisions reactively. You notice a trend, someone asks a question, and then you dig into dashboards, SQL or Python to figure out what’s going on.
There’s a problem with this workflow: by the time you’re looking for answers, it’s already too late. By then, you might already have lost users, revenue, or momentum that could have been saved with earlier insight.
Autopilot flips the model. Instead of waiting for questions, it continually scans your connected data sources and highlights the insights that deserve your attention.
You don’t need to define dashboards. You don’t need to run analysis. You don’t even need to know what you’re looking for.
Autopilot works while you sleep.
How Autopilot works
Autopilot runs on a schedule you define: daily, weekly, monthly, or anything in between. Each cycle, it:
Analyzes your connected data sources
Identifies patterns, anomalies, and correlations
Summarizes the most important insights
Suggests concrete next steps
Delivers the report via email or Slack
It’s like having a superhuman product manager—someone who understands your business at a deep level, checks everything constantly, and brings you the signal without the noise.
How teams are using Autopilot
Autopilot is already helping teams of all sizes stay ahead of their data:
Weekly company summaries. A clear overview of what changed across product, growth, and revenue.
Daily onboarding and activation insights. Where users are dropping off, which actions correlate with retention, and what to adjust next.
Sales and revenue performance. Pipeline health, conversion patterns, and leading indicators of growth.
Retention and churn analysis. Trends that impact long-term health, explained in plain language.
Automated GitHub changelogs. Merged PRs summarized and delivered to your team automatically.
KPI monitoring and anomaly detection. Not just alerts, explanations.
You can customize Autopilot for any metrics, funnels, or workflows you care about.
How Basedash uses Autopilot
We originally built Autopilot for ourselves. As a small team with no full-time data analyst or PM, we wanted an autonomous agent that could guide our roadmap.
It exceeded every expectation.
By acting on Autopilot’s recommendations, we increased our product activation rate 10x: from 5% to over 50%. Many of the insights it surfaced were ones we’d never have considered investigating manually.
This is why we believe the future of analytics isn’t just better self-serve BI. It’s also proactive. You uncover insights before you even thought to look for them. Autopilot is a major step toward that future.
