Introducing Baserow 2.0

Baserow started as a an open-source no-code database — a simple way for teams to organize and collaborate on data. Over time, it’s grown into something much bigger: a full AI-powered data platform.

With Baserow 2.0, it now brings databases, applications, automations, and AI together in one secure, open-source environment.

You can still start with a table, but now you can also build interfaces, connect workflows, and use AI to assist with everyday tasks — all without leaving your workspace.

This release adds the final pieces — automations and the AI assistant — completing the shift from a standalone database to a connected, open-source platform for building tools and managing data.

Let’s dive into what’s new.

Meet Kuma — your AI assistant

Kuma is your new AI assistant that helps you work faster without switching tools or digging through documentation.

You can chat with Kuma to:

• Search the documentation.
• Build and edit databases.
• Create automations*.*
• Organize your data by creating views, adding filters, sorting, and grouping — all in plain language.

You can talk to Kuma just like you would to a teammate:

“Create a project management table.”

Kuma will build the database for you, complete with fields, views, and relationships.

“Write a formula that calculates the number of days until the deadline.”

Kuma writes the formula and updates your table instantly.

“Explain how to use automations.”

Kuma walks you through it step by step.

It’s not just a chatbot — Kuma understands your workspace and can create or edit tables, views, and fields. If you self-host, you can also choose which AI provider and model to use, giving you full control over your data and privacy.

Soon, Kuma will handle end-to-end workflows — from designing applications to managing dashboards for you.

Automations Builder

Automations in Baserow help you create no-code workflows that respond to changes in your database.

You can connect triggers (events that start the workflow) and actions (tasks that follow). For example:

When a new row is created in the “Leads” table → Send a welcome email → Add the contact to a “Follow-up” list.

Or:

When a task’s status changes to “Done” → Notify the project manager → Update the project’s progress field.

Or, with AI actions and LLM integrations, you can go further:

When a support ticket arrives → Summarize it with AI → Assign it to the right team → Generate a follow-up response.

Each workflow is part of a larger Automation, which you can reuse and manage at the workspace level. You can test every step before publishing and check a History log to see what ran, when, and why — making debugging and iteration simple.

Automations now also support formulas and variables, giving you more control and flexibility. Use formulas in conditions and router nodes (for example, only run if priority = "High" and due_date = today()), or pass data between steps with automation variables to reuse results later in the workflow.

Router nodes let you add conditions — for example, only run an action if a checkbox is ticked or a field meets certain criteria.

Together with AI, automations let you create your own AI-powered workflows — automated teammates that can summarize, tag, or respond based on your data.

⚙️ Note: Automations Builder is currently in beta. You can start experimenting with them today and share your feedback in the Baserow community forum.

Combine AI and automations

AI and automations can work together to build smart workflows by creating AI agents.

You might set up an automation like:

When a new feedback entry is added → Create AI agent to summarize it → Add the summary to a “Weekly Insights” table.

Or:

When a new support ticket arrives → AI agent categorizes the topic → Assigns it to the right person automatically.

These automated flows save time, reduce manual effort, and keep your data consistent — forming the foundation for more advanced AI-driven processes.

Other improvements in Baserow 2.0

Date dependencies

Set up dependencies between tasks to keep your timelines accurate. When a parent task’s date moves, all dependent tasks update automatically, preserving the original sequencing and duration.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

We know that trust is key for any data platform. That’s why Baserow 2.0 introduces two-factor authentication (2FA). Enable 2FA and protect your account with an extra layer of security.

Workspace-level search

Can’t remember where that record lives? With workspace-level search, you don’t have to. Now you can search across all databases, tables, and rows — instantly.

Open it from the left sidebar or hit Cmd/Ctrl + K to jump anywhere in seconds.

AI field improvements

The AI field just got supercharged.

You can now:

• Turn on “Regenerate when referenced fields change” to keep your AI field updated automatically
• Create more precise AI prompts using advanced inputs such as data, operators, and functions, just like building a formula
• Generate all AI-powered values in one go

Whether you’re creating product descriptions, summaries, or dynamic content, your AI fields now stay current — without manual input.
