About Powabase
Socials: Powabase is the all-in-one development platform for AI apps. Comes with RAG, agents, drag & drop workflows. Fine-tuned for AI coding agents. What makes Powabase different - RAG out of the box: Embeddings, vector search, and retrieval pipelines are first-class citizens — not bolt-ons. Build semantic search and grounded AI features on your own data in minutes. - Agents, built in: Define, run, and orchestrate AI agents natively on the platform. No glue code, no separate orchestration layer — your data, your logic, and your agents all live in one place. - Drag & drop workflows: Compose powerful AI pipelines visually. Connect data, models, and actions on a canvas anyone on your team can understand and iterate on. - Fine-tuned for AI coding agents: Powabase is purpose-built to be driven by AI coding assistants. Clean, predictable APIs, agent skills (npx skills add powabase-ai/agent-skills), and an MCP server mean your agents generate working backends correctly, with minimal token waste and iteration. Underneath the AI layer sits everything you expect from a serious platform: real open-source Postgres, instant auto-generated APIs, built-in auth and storage, and a polished Studio to manage it all. Open, portable, and self-hostable. Spin up isolated projects in seconds, wire up RAG and agents through a unified control plane, and deploy with confidence. Powabase collapses the entire AI stack — database, retrieval, agents, and workflows — into one cohesive platform. Powabase — the fastest way to build, ship, and scale AI apps.
