Budibase
AI agent, app, and automation builder for creating internal workflow-driven business systems with connected data.
What is Budibase?
Try BudibaseBudibase helps teams connect external systems and build internal workflows using apps, agents, and automations powered by your data. With an API Explorer, you can configure and test REST API requests from imported specs or ready-made templates, then reuse those connections across your workspace. It also includes controls for credentials and role-based access so the right people can use the right APIs.
What does Budibase help you build?
Budibase is a builder for internal apps, AI agents, and automations where you can connect actions to APIs and pass the right context into each step. Use your API connections across apps, agents, and automations to support workflow-driven business processes.
How can I connect Budibase to my REST APIs?
You can connect any REST API using Budibase’s API Explorer. Configure and test REST requests there, or upload/import an OpenAPI specification (Swagger 2.0 or 3.0 in JSON or YAML, or via cURL) and reuse the resulting API connections across Budibase apps, agents, and automations.
Can I reuse API connections across apps, agents, and automations?
Yes. Once you configure your API connections in API Explorer, you can reuse them across Budibase apps, agents, and automations so the same API actions work consistently in different workflow contexts.
How do API specs and templates help speed things up?
You can start from 100+ OpenAPI templates for tools your organization already uses, or import OpenAPI specs to set up API actions quickly. After adding credentials, you can configure and test requests before putting them into your workflows.
How does Budibase control access to APIs and credentials?
Budibase supports connected systems with controlled access by using role-based access control to decide which users can access each API. It also uses environment variables so builders can work with credentials without seeing the underlying secret values.
How do workflows pass context into API requests?
Budibase lets you pass values from apps, agents, and automations into API requests, including app input and agent/automation context. That way, each API call can use the correct process context (for example, requestId, descriptions, or other workflow values).
What data sources and tools can Budibase agents connect to?
Budibase agents can connect to internal data tables and external APIs to execute operational tasks, and you can ground responses using retrieval workflows with pgvector support. The agents can also use tools such as Jira (create/search issues) and Slack (send message) within your automation workflows.
Can I choose the AI model and run agents where my teams already work?
Yes. You can select an AI model provider and model for the agent, with support for providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, or custom providers. Budibase also supports running agents inside products like Budibase Automations and Budibase Chat, with additional placement mentioned for tools like Discord and coming support for Teams and Slack.
Is Budibase a no-code option for building apps and workflows?
Budibase is designed so teams can build apps without engineering resources, using a drag-and-drop builder for forms, dashboards, and workflows. For advanced needs, you can optionally add JavaScript and use features like live evaluation and reusable code snippets.
