What is Basic?

​

features and benefits

Basic is a purpose-built backend for personalization of apps and agents. We have a federated model instead of a traditional database, where we spin up a dedicated “datastore per user” in the cloud so each of your users is solely given their own db.

Read/write data directly to user data stores with simple SDKs/APIs. Securely access real-time user-context across existing apps in your users’ data stores for personalizing your apps and LLMs.

Basic replaces your primary datastore for the following benefits:

• Zero infrastructure: no database to provision — CRUD via SDKs/APIs
• Share user-context across apps: real-time read/writes across schemas
• Built in auth & permissioning: “multi-tenant” auth with RLS by default
• Federated, per-user data stores: portable across apps for deep personalization
• Instant & offline-first (SDKs only): apps with 0 latency apps and offline support

Features coming soon: multiplayer, federated learning

use cases

• AI apps & agents: Simple way to store and access user context from previous interactions.
• AI app/agent builders: Scale auth and backends for the thousands of apps and agents your users are building.
• AI wearables: Store sensitive user information securely and continue improving your models with leaking their data.
• Embedded AI: Personalize LLMs for your users with their existing rather than providing a generic, bland experience.
• Personal/productivity software: Fit into existing user workflows with bi-directional sync of their existing data. Zero latency and offline support cuts through the noise of your competition.
