Budibase is an open-source low-code platform for internal tools, workflow automation and AI agents, self-hosted or on its cloud, using your own data and models.
Budibase is a low-code platform for building internal tools, automating workflows and deploying AI agents. Teams use it to build apps for requests, approvals and tracking, and to connect databases, spreadsheets and business systems so the apps work on live data. The platform is open source and can be self-hosted, or run as a managed service on Budibase Cloud. Agents answer employee questions and handle requests across chat channels. They can classify a request, create a ticket, route it to the right team, or post an update, so routine operations move without manual handoffs. Automations cover approvals, notifications and routing, and they can be triggered by events such as a new email arriving. For access and governance, Budibase offers custom role-based access control, SSO and SAML, audit logs and a public API. Backups and environment variables are available on higher tiers. The company states that it is ISO 27001 certified, and it works with your own LLMs and APIs, so agents can use the models already in place. The platform suits operations and IT teams that handle many repeated requests, public sector bodies, and companies that want to keep internal tools inside their own infrastructure. It is less suited to teams that need only a single simple form, where a lighter tool may be enough.
