What is an AI-native business intelligence platform?
An AI-native business intelligence (BI) platform uses natural language processing to let teams query databases, generate dashboards, and explore analytics without writing SQL. Basedash lets teams ask questions in plain English and turn answers into dashboards, reports, and shared workflows quickly. The result is faster time-to-insight with less manual query work and fewer handoffs between teams.
How is Basedash different from traditional BI tools like Metabase or Tableau?
AI-native BI is significantly faster and less brittle than traditional BI for day-to-day analytics work. Traditional tools often depend on SQL-heavy workflows, manual dashboard setup, and multiple rounds of query iteration before teams get a usable answer. Basedash reduces that friction by moving from plain-English prompt to governed chart quickly, so teams ship dashboards in minutes instead of waiting on longer setup cycles.
How is Basedash different from AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude Code?
General AI tools are useful for brainstorming, but Basedash is purpose-built for production analytics. Basedash connects directly to your real data stack, understands your database schema, tables, and metric definitions, and returns answers grounded in governed sources. It is designed for teams with shared dashboards, reusable metrics, role-based access controls, and deployment options that match security and compliance requirements. The result is faster time-to-insight with more consistent and trustworthy answers.
How does Basedash prevent hallucinations and ensure AI analysis is accurate?
Basedash is designed to prioritize accuracy in production analytics. Instead of generating freeform answers, it translates natural language into structured queries that are validated and executed directly against your connected databases or warehouses. Responses are grounded in your actual schema, tables, and governed metric definitions. Generated queries can be reviewed, traced to underlying data, and re-run for verification. By constraining AI within your real data environment and enforcing shared definitions and access controls, Basedash combines AI speed with the reliability of traditional BI systems.
Do I need SQL to use Basedash?
No. Teams can ask business questions in plain English and generate dashboards without writing SQL for every request. Technical users still have the controls they need to validate logic, define trusted metrics, and govern shared reporting standards. This enables broader self-serve analytics without losing analytical rigor.
Who is Basedash for?
Basedash is built for cross-functional teams that depend on trusted analytics to make decisions quickly. Product, growth, marketing, sales, finance, and operations teams can use shared dashboards and governed metrics in one workspace. It works for both technical and non-technical users, so analysis does not bottleneck on a small analytics team.
What data sources does Basedash support?
Basedash supports 750+ integrations across databases, warehouses, and SaaS tools, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, and Google Analytics. Teams can connect their existing stack directly and keep analysis grounded in governed business data. You can explore the full integration catalog and source categories on the data sources page.
Can we connect our existing warehouse?
Yes. Teams can connect existing warehouses directly and keep analytics in sync with current data architecture. For teams that want a faster path to unified analytics, Basedash Warehouse is also available. This gives organizations flexibility without forcing a major stack migration.
Does Basedash support embedded analytics?
Yes. Basedash supports embedded analytics for teams that want to deliver dashboards and insights directly inside their product experience. This helps customer-facing teams share analytics in context instead of sending users to a separate BI tool. You can learn more on the embedding page.
Is Basedash secure for production and enterprise use?
Basedash is designed for production and enterprise environments with concrete security controls, including SOC 2 Type II compliance, encryption in transit and at rest, and strict data access boundaries. Customer data is never used to train models. Teams can enforce role-based access controls, define trusted metrics, and deploy in self-hosted or VPC-based environments to meet internal network and compliance requirements. This allows organizations to adopt AI-native analytics without compromising their existing security posture.
Is customer data used to train AI models?
No. Customer data is not used to train models. Basedash is built with strict data boundaries so teams can use AI-native analytics without exposing sensitive business data for model training. This is especially important for production, enterprise, and regulated environments.
Does Basedash support role-based access control?
Yes. Teams can enforce role-based access controls so users only see the data and workflows appropriate for their responsibilities. This helps organizations scale self-serve analytics while maintaining governance and auditability standards.
Can we define trusted metrics and shared business logic?
Yes. Basedash supports governed metric definitions so teams can align on consistent business logic across dashboards and reports. Shared definitions reduce conflicting numbers and improve confidence in decision-making. This is a key advantage when scaling analytics across departments.
How quickly can we get value from Basedash?
Most teams can connect core data sources and start answering high-priority questions quickly. Time-to-value depends on source complexity, governance requirements, and rollout scope, but the AI-native workflow shortens setup compared with traditional BI implementations. Teams can then expand from initial dashboards to broader reporting programs over time.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every team can start with a 14-day free trial with no credit card required and full feature access. You can connect your data, generate dashboards, and validate how AI-native analytics fits your reporting process before committing. This lets teams assess value quickly without a long procurement cycle upfront.
Do I need a long-term contract?
No. Basedash offers both monthly and annual plans so teams can choose the commitment level that fits their procurement process. You can cancel at any time, giving you flexibility as priorities and usage evolve.
Do you support enterprise procurement and security review workflows?
Yes. Basedash supports enterprise procurement workflows, including security reviews, legal review cycles, and stakeholder sign-off processes. The team also helps with rollout planning so implementation aligns with internal approval requirements. This reduces friction from evaluation to production launch.
Can we migrate from tools like Metabase, Tableau, June, or custom dashboards?
Yes. Teams commonly migrate from legacy BI tools and internal dashboards to simplify workflows and reduce dashboard-building friction. Basedash supports phased rollouts, so you can prioritize high-impact metrics and use cases first. This approach lowers migration risk while delivering faster wins for stakeholders.
How do we get started with Basedash?
The fastest way to start is to create a trial workspace, connect your core data sources, and define your first decision-critical metrics. You can sign up immediately, then expand to team-wide dashboards and reporting once initial workflows are validated. If you want help with setup, migration, or rollout planning, book a call with the team.
