Chat, dashboard, and automation suggestions

Basedash now gives every workspace personalized suggestions across chat, dashboards, and automations, so you have useful starting points before you type a prompt or build from scratch. Suggestions are generated from your connected data, past chats, dashboards, and workspace context, then appear where you’re already working: questions under the chat input, dashboard ideas with build plans, and recurring report ideas for automations.

Suggestions are rolling out to all workspaces today. Read the full launch post, Introducing Basedash Suggestions, for the deeper walkthrough of how they work and how to get started.

Drive Basedash chats from the public API

You can now start and continue AI chats programmatically through the public API. Send a question, wait for the answer synchronously or poll for it, stream responses as they generate, list past turns, and cancel or delete chats—all with the same API-key auth as the rest of the platform. Chats created through the API stay out of the app UI, so automated workflows don’t clutter your team’s chat history.

We also added a general chart image endpoint, so you can fetch a rendered PNG for any chart you have access to—whether it lives on a dashboard, in a chat, or in an insight—always rendered with your own data permissions. Chart responses now include a ready-to-use image URL, making it simple to drop live Basedash visuals into your own docs, apps, and reports.

Dashboards load instantly, even after a few days

Opening a dashboard no longer means waiting on fresh warehouse queries for every chart. Basedash now recognizes when a chart is really asking for the same data as before—even when relative date ranges like “last 7 days” shift to a new calendar day—and serves the previous result instantly while quietly refreshing in the background. Charts that felt slow to reopen after a weekend now snap into view.

Query caching is also on by default now, with a new admin toggle in Settings → General so you stay in control. Filter changes, date-range edits, and pagination still fetch fresh data, so you always see exactly what you selected.

Invite and manage members more easily

Inviting teammates is now a single dialog you can open from the sidebar, command menu, members settings, or right in the middle of connecting a data source. Pick a role and, optionally, drop new members straight into groups as you invite them—and re-inviting someone you previously removed restores their account cleanly. When invites go out to several people at once, each one is handled independently so a single bad address doesn’t block the rest.

The members list is clearer too: each member shows how many groups they belong to, and admins can adjust group membership right from a member’s menu. We also reworked the language from “deactivate/reactivate” to the more intuitive “remove/restore.”

Fixes and improvements

  • Kept long chats going instead of hitting a dead end—when a conversation grows too large, Basedash now automatically compacts older context and continues, rather than asking you to start a new chat.
  • Improved how the AI explores large database schemas with new catalog and table-description tools, so it finds the right tables faster and spends less time introspecting.
  • Fixed opening tables in the Data tab for PostHog connections, which previously failed with a raw error, and made PostHog error messages readable.
  • Fixed chat messages occasionally rendering out of order, so an assistant reply no longer appears above the question that prompted it.
  • Fixed follow-up messages appearing to go nowhere when you open a chat directly from a link, so live status now updates correctly for deep-linked chats.
  • Fixed the tool-approval card staying on screen after you approve an action, so chat resumes without a manual refresh.
  • Fixed a jump in the chat view when the assistant’s final answer starts streaming, keeping the message height stable.
  • Fixed exported chart images (PNG and PDF) and Slack chart images so fonts load correctly and tightly measured numbers are no longer clipped.
  • Improved the reliability of AI chart edits when the model leaves display settings unchanged.
