CODING AGENTS & VIBE TOOLS

Point your coding agent at Powabase.

Whatever you build with, Powabase is the backend behind it. Connect through the agent skill, the REST API, or the auth guide, then build on real Postgres, storage, auth, and agents.

BUILD WITH AI

Build AI-native apps by just asking.

Install the Powabase skill once and your coding agent speaks the platform natively. Describe what you want — it wires up retrieval, agents, and workflows behind a single REST API.

BACKEND

The BaaS part.

Postgres with RLS, a first-class auth service, object storage, and realtime. Access it through PostgREST, the REST/GraphQL-style API, or a direct database connection.

RETRIEVAL

RAG, out of the box.

Upload PDFs, images, office files, or URLs — Powabase extracts, chunks, embeds, and indexes them. Built-in OCR 91% accuracy (OlmOCR-Bench). RAG pipeline 98.7% accuracy (FinanceBench). BM25, pgvector, hybrid search, and SOTA rerankers included. Handles multimodal content indexing.

AGENTS

Agents, with tools.

Define ReAct orchestrations with multiple LLMs, knowledge bases, and tools. Runs stream over SSE with fully logged retrieval events, tool calls, token deltas, and citations. Sessions track multi-turn state. Use built-in tools like web search and code execute or add your own tools over HTTP or MCP.

WORKFLOWS

Workflows, visual and callable.

Build multi-step agent workflows by dragging and connecting blocks: triggers, conditions, agents, HTTP calls, code. Ask the natural-language copilot to design the flow for you. Deploy a workflow and turn it into an HTTP endpoint.

ARCHITECTURE

Your own stack. Tuned for AI.

Every Powabase project gets a fully isolated stack — your own Postgres, your own Realtime, your own Storage. No shared logical databases, no noisy-neighbor risk, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 compliance assumptions hold by default. The underlying compute is engineered for AI workloads: retrieval, rerank, and the agent runtime are co-located, so RAG stays hot and agent loops stay short.

A single project, dedicated and isolatedOne project rendered as a sealed cross-section. An outer boundary surrounds an internal stack of API, runtime, retrieval, and storage layers connected to a central compute core.

DEPLOYMENT

Run it your way.

Ship on our managed cloud, or self-host the whole stack on your own infrastructure with Docker or Kubernetes. Either way, bring your own LLM keys so costs and compliance stay with you.

MANAGED
