14-day trial, no credit card required.
Basedash is an AI-native BI tool for BigQuery that generates cost-optimized dashboards and queries from plain English — connecting directly to your Google BigQuery warehouse with no data movement.
BigQuery to dashboard in minutes
Three steps from project connection to live dashboard.
Connect your BigQuery project
Authenticate with your Google Cloud project and Basedash connects directly to BigQuery. Read-only access, no data copying, full support for datasets and projects.
AI maps your datasets
Basedash reads your BigQuery datasets, tables, views, and column metadata. Add business context so the AI knows what your data means — not just what it looks like.
Prompt to dashboard
Describe what you want to track in plain English. Basedash generates BigQuery-optimized SQL, executes it, and renders live charts and dashboards from the results.
Built for BigQuery
Not a generic BI tool with a BigQuery connector. Basedash understands BigQuery's architecture, cost model, and data types.
Native BigQuery SQL generation
Basedash generates Standard SQL optimized for BigQuery — including UNNEST operations, STRUCT queries, partitioned table filters, and cost-efficient query patterns.
Cost-aware queries
BigQuery charges by bytes scanned. Basedash generates queries that use partition filters, column selection, and efficient joins to minimize your BigQuery costs.
No data movement
Your data stays in BigQuery. Basedash queries it in place — no exports, no ETL pipelines, no additional storage to manage or pay for.
Nested and repeated fields
BigQuery's nested STRUCT and ARRAY types are fully supported. The AI generates proper UNNEST and CROSS JOIN operations to flatten complex data structures automatically.
Multi-project support
Connect multiple BigQuery projects and query across datasets. Basedash handles cross-project references and respects your IAM-based access controls.
Google ecosystem integration
Combine BigQuery with Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Sheets, and other Google Cloud data already in your warehouse for end-to-end analysis.

BigQuery BI FAQ
What is the best BI tool for BigQuery?
For teams that want fast, self-serve dashboards without heavy SQL expertise, Basedash is built for BigQuery with AI-generated, cost-optimized queries. Looker Studio (free) and Looker (enterprise) are also popular for Google ecosystem teams, but require more manual setup and SQL knowledge.
Does Basedash copy data out of BigQuery?
No. Basedash queries your BigQuery warehouse directly in place. Your data stays in Google Cloud — Basedash never copies or caches your raw data. This means no additional storage costs and your IAM access controls remain the source of truth.
How does Basedash manage BigQuery costs?
Basedash generates cost-aware SQL that uses partition filters, selects only the columns needed, and structures queries to minimize bytes scanned. You can also set query byte limits and monitor per-query costs to stay within budget.
Can Basedash query GA4 data exported to BigQuery?
Yes. Many teams export Google Analytics 4 data to BigQuery for deeper analysis. Basedash understands the GA4 export schema and generates proper UNNEST operations to query nested event parameters, user properties, and e-commerce data.
Can non-technical users query BigQuery through Basedash?
Yes. Basedash translates natural language questions into BigQuery SQL, runs the queries, and returns visual results. Business users can explore data and build dashboards without learning SQL or BigQuery-specific syntax like UNNEST and STRUCT.
