Velocity6.3

AI-powered business intelligence and database interface with chat-based data analysis, dashboards, and automations

Basedash adds view-only seats so whole departments can read dashboards without editing.

◆Current state
Basedash has become a chat-first BI tool: the assistant builds whole dashboards, writes artifacts through MCP and runs on GPT-6.1 Sol by default. The newest release adds View-only members, who can open shared dashboards, charts, automations and chat history, use filters and drilldowns and export, but cannot edit, chat or run automations. It follows the Connector gallery, private Slack DMs and a mobile Home Screen app.
◆Where it's heading
Recent releases spread Basedash's reach on two ends: more ways to get data in (connectors) and more ways for people to consume answers (Slack, mobile, now read-only seats). View-only access widens the audience from analysts to stakeholders and clients without opening up editing or AI usage.
◆Prediction
Expect finer-grained sharing and permission controls to follow view-only seats, alongside more connectors in the gallery. The entries don't show whether view-only members are priced differently.

    View-only members are here

    View-only members can open shared dashboards, charts and chat history, filter, drill down and export, but cannot edit, chat or run automations. It extends the push to reach non-analyst audiences, after Slack DMs and mobile, with a safe read-only role.

    Introducing the Basedash Connector gallery

    Every connector now has its own page with connect, docs and sync controls, plus previews of the dashboards, Slack alerts and cross-source questions it supports. After a run of new surfaces for asking questions, this targets activation: getting data connected in the first place.

    Message Basedash directly in Slack

    Users can now ask Basedash questions in a private Slack DM and get the same charts and analysis as in a channel thread. It's another surface for the chat analyst, two days after mobile, and lowers the cost of asking a question no one else needs to see.

    Basedash Mobile: your data, in your pocket

    Basedash Mobile adds a Home Screen app for iPhone with voice questions and tap-to-drill charts. It extends the chat-first analyst to a new surface rather than adding new analysis capability.

    Sharper, more decisive answers with GPT-6.1 Sol

    Chat now defaults to GPT-6.1 Sol with retuned instructions. It makes fewer clarifying stops and states which metric definition it used when one is ambiguous. That disclosure habit fits the AI Sources work on making answers inspectable.

    Chat builds whole dashboards, live in the conversation

    A single prompt now returns a full dashboard with KPIs, charts, tables, filters, and tabs, previewed live in chat. It refines the dashboard-from-chat capability that launched in September and makes it a one-shot interaction.
