What is Basedash?

Basedash is done answering questions about your data — it now wants to tell you what to do next.

Basedash spent July and early August building the surfaces of an AI-native BI tool: suggestions that propose questions before you type, subscriptions that push dashboards to Slack and email, audit logs that record every query the AI runs, and a developer platform exposing the whole feature set through an API. Tasks, now in research preview, changes the output shape entirely — instead of charts and answers it produces a ranked list of work with a stated rationale and expected outcome, then watches whether the metrics move. A sidebar rebuild the day before quietly names the product's five pillars: Chat, Dashboards, Automations, Insights, and Data.

What is RMVMR?

RMVMR is being tidied in lockstep with MVMR, the package it wraps

RMVMR provides radial multivariable Mendelian randomization — radial IVW estimation and plots layered over the MVMR package's conditional instrument-strength machinery. It has no independent release schedule: versions arrive alongside MVMR's, pin a minimum MVMR version, and fix defects in the seam between the two. Its most recent release landed the same day as new versions of MVMR and OneSampleMR.

Basedash is done answering questions about your data — it now wants to tell you what to do next.

◆ Current state

Basedash spent July and early August building the surfaces of an AI-native BI tool: suggestions that propose questions before you type, subscriptions that push dashboards to Slack and email, audit logs that record every query the AI runs, and a developer platform exposing the whole feature set through an API. Tasks, now in research preview, changes the output shape entirely — instead of charts and answers it produces a ranked list of work with a stated rationale and expected outcome, then watches whether the metrics move. A sidebar rebuild the day before quietly names the product's five pillars: Chat, Dashboards, Automations, Insights, and Data.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc runs from self-serve querying toward prescription and closed-loop measurement. Each release chips away at the assumption that a human must decide what to look at: suggestions removed the blank prompt, subscriptions removed the visit, and Tasks removes the interpretation step. The navigation rework is the tell that this is now a multi-module product rather than a chat box with extras — and the enterprise scaffolding arriving alongside it, audit logs covering AI queries plus retention controls, is what makes an autonomous analyst deployable rather than a demo.

◆ Prediction

Tasks graduating from research preview will be the release to watch; the outcome-tracking loop it describes only has value once it has run long enough to show whether its recommendations worked. Expect Tasks to become a sixth sidebar module and to be exposed through the developer platform API, since that is where every other Basedash capability has landed.

RMVMR is being tidied in lockstep with MVMR, the package it wraps

◆ Current state

RMVMR provides radial multivariable Mendelian randomization — radial IVW estimation and plots layered over the MVMR package's conditional instrument-strength machinery. It has no independent release schedule: versions arrive alongside MVMR's, pin a minimum MVMR version, and fix defects in the seam between the two. Its most recent release landed the same day as new versions of MVMR and OneSampleMR.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is code hygiene with results held fixed. ivw_rmvmr() now fits the radial IVW model explicitly rather than inheriting variables left over from the orientation loop, an undocumented data element carrying unused intermediate frames is gone, and plot_rmvmr() stops recomputing univariate radial analyses it already has — roughly halving the RadialMR calls with identical output. Each note is explicit that coefficients, standard errors and degrees of freedom are unchanged, which is a deliberate contrast with MVMR's own 2026 releases, where several fixes did change reported values.

◆ Prediction

Because the package pins MVMR versions rather than vendoring behaviour, the next release most likely follows MVMR's next correctness fix; nothing in the notes points to independent feature work.
