All-in-one backend for AI apps combining managed Postgres, RAG pipelines and agent/workflow orchestration behind one API.
What it does
Powabase is a backend-as-a-service for AI applications, bundling isolated Postgres databases, auth, storage and realtime with a built-in RAG pipeline (OCR, chunking, embeddings, hybrid search) and an agent/workflow engine. It integrates with coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex via a skill or REST API, and can be self-hosted with Docker or Kubernetes.
