About Budibase

Overview

Budibase is an open-source platform for building AI agents, internal tools, and automated workflows. It connects your own data, LLMs, and APIs so teams can automate internal business processes.

Budibase agents answer employee questions and handle requests across channels such as Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams. They create records, route approvals, update apps, and notify teams automatically.

Teams can self-host Budibase on their own infrastructure or use the managed Budibase Cloud, which is ISO 27001 certified. More than 300K teams, from small businesses to governments, use the platform.

Key Benefits

  • Build AI agents, apps, and automations in one open-source platform
  • Agents take action, creating records, routing approvals, and notifying teams
  • Connect databases, spreadsheets, AI models, and business apps
  • Self-host on your own infrastructure or use managed Budibase Cloud
  • ISO 27001 certified with enterprise-grade security
  • Scale with custom RBAC, SSO, SAML, backups, audit logs, and a public API

How It Works

Budibase agents analyze incoming employee requests, extract the relevant details, check company policy, and select the appropriate workflow. From there they create tickets, route approvals, update records, and notify the right teams, returning results directly in the conversation channel.

Use Cases

  • Operations teams automate approvals, routing, and notifications
  • IT teams triage and categorize support issues automatically
  • HR teams answer workplace questions and process employee requests
  • Governments and public agencies run mission-critical operations at national scale
  • Enterprises build internal tools to manage processes and track work

Why Choose This Product

Budibase differentiates itself through its open-source model and its agents that act on workflows rather than merely answering questions. Self-hosting keeps data within your own infrastructure, while Cloud offers a managed, ISO 27001 certified option.
