What is Basedash?
Basedash keeps pushing its data out of the workspace — now to people without accounts
Basedash is a BI tool built around an AI data analyst, and the last month has been about getting its output to more places: an API that exposes chat, insights, automations and dashboards; scheduled snapshots to email and Slack; and now a link that opens a live, filterable dashboard for someone with no Basedash account. Alongside that distribution work sits a research-preview agent, Tasks, that reads company data and produces a ranked to-do list. Audit logs, including a record of every query the AI runs, arrived in the same window.
What is Kameleoon?
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.

Basedash keeps pushing its data out of the workspace — now to people without accounts
◆ Current state
Basedash is a BI tool built around an AI data analyst, and the last month has been about getting its output to more places: an API that exposes chat, insights, automations and dashboards; scheduled snapshots to email and Slack; and now a link that opens a live, filterable dashboard for someone with no Basedash account. Alongside that distribution work sits a research-preview agent, Tasks, that reads company data and produces a ranked to-do list. Audit logs, including a record of every query the AI runs, arrived in the same window.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs are running in parallel. One narrows the gap between viewing data and acting on it — suggestions before you type a prompt, then Tasks writing the work item and tracking whether the metric moved. The other decouples consumption from seats: API, subscriptions, and public links each reach an audience that never logs in. The interface work (module-anchored sidebar, per-user table sorting that doesn't rewrite the author's SQL) reads as load-bearing for both.
◆ Prediction
Tasks leaving research preview is the release that decides how much of this is real; its value depends entirely on the outcome-tracking loop having run long enough to show whether its recommendations worked. Expect the sharing surface to grow permissions and expiry controls next, since a link that works without an account is the first place governance pressure lands.
Kameleoon
1.3ANALYTICS
Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.
◆ Current state
Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is settling into the new editor as the default surface and accumulating the small ergonomics wins teams expect from a mature personalization tool — fewer clicks, fewer manual IDs, more control over evaluation order. The PBX prompt updates suggest AI-assisted variant creation is becoming a more prominent workflow, with multimodal input now supported.
◆ Prediction
Expect the editor's PBX surface to keep gaining capability — likely brand-context awareness, reusable prompts, and broader image-driven generation. Targeting and goal flows will continue to consolidate so users don't need to reach for IDs or admin pages.
