I can't code. I have hit walls in my career because of that inability. I've tried to learn, failed. Tried again, failed again. I learned to be okay with it. It's a blocker, not gonna lie. You're always reliant on someone else to implement, build, or see things though. I've learned how to work with developers to help build products, to be as close as possible to their workflow. I've pushed no-code tools like @webflow and @framer to their limits to make websites, apps, and actual products, but there's always been a big gap left unaddressed. Understanding data. Digging, sorting, grouping, aggregating, and checking to see actual numbers for usage, adoption, or just any idea that only the database can answer. I've always had to rely on a SQL-savvy developer for that. Like I said, I can't code, and I especially can't write SQL. I also don't like to distract developers just to see if a random thought related to our product is useful. A few months ago, we decided to see is we could use @OpenAI inside of @Basedash to solve that problem. We've been testing that AI-SQL assistant for a while, and today, we're launching it. It's amazing. And I'm not saying that because I design Basedash, I'm saying it because I'm now daily digging into our product DB to look up ideas I have around how our product is used. No more data blockers. No more waiting on developers to check an idea. No more distracting them from work just to help with a JOIN or mundane query. I just have to type in what I'm looking for, and the AI does the rest. It took a ton of work to get the integration right, but it's a massive feature for us to have in our product. I can't code, but with our SQL-assistant, I don't have to. You have to try this out with your data. Basedash is free for smaller teams. Like 5 minutes to set up, no joke. Also, for you skeptical devs out there, we restrict to only SELECT statements, so no way to break anything. Our entire driving force with this feature was to unblock devs, and to empower everyone else. You have to try this.
