About Budibase
What is Budibase?
Budibase is an open-source low-code platform that enables teams to build custom internal tools, web apps, automated workflows, and AI agents without extensive coding. It connects to your existing databases and APIs via a visual drag-and-drop builder, letting you create CRUD apps, dashboards, and forms quickly.
Who is it for?
Budibase best suits IT teams, startups, and non-developers who need to rapidly build operational tools like admin panels, CRMs, inventory trackers, and approval workflows. It's also ideal for teams wanting to create AI agents that handle employee requests, support triage, and routing across Slack, Teams, and Discord. It is not designed for complex public-facing consumer apps.
Key use cases
Build apps for data management, automate email and webhook notifications, create AI agents that answer employee questions and process approval requests, and manage support tickets across channels. Connect to SQL, REST APIs, Google Sheets, or Budibase DB.
Key features
- Visual app builder — Drag-and-drop interface to design apps and forms
- AI agent builder — Create agents with instructions, tools, models, and knowledge sources
- Data connectors — Connect to SQL, REST APIs, Google Sheets, and Budibase DB

- Role-based access control — Manage who sees, edits, or uses your apps
- Self-hosting — Deploy on your own infrastructure for full data control
- Pre-built templates — Start from admin panels, CRMs, inventory tools, or request systems
