Hi there, Mike here from Budibase.We’ve recently launched AI Agents into Beta, alongside our existing open-source app-building and automation tools.We built Budibase Agents for teams that want to leverage AI within real-world workflows, using their own LLMs, data, and APIs. Because of this, our Agents can be powered by any LLM with an OpenAI-compatible API, including open-source and locally-hosted models. This means you can build Agents that connect to your existing toolstack, within your own environment.Some more details:- Agents' behavior is configured using natural language instructions, within existing Budibase Workspaces.- You explicitly control which data sources, APIs, and automations an agent can access.- End-users can interact with your agents via Budibase Chat, or using existing chat tools like Slack and Discord.- Agents can be called from Automations, and vice versa, enabling complex workflows, including interacting with end-user apps for manual human approvals.The Budibase Agents Beta is available now for all self-hosted and cloud users.As this is a Beta release, we’re actively looking for input and feedback on how we can improve Agents, in terms of experience and functionality for building using AI within real-life workflows.Feel free to let us know via our GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/budibase/budibase/discussions

Could you build this?
Yes Budibase Agents integrates LLM tool-calling, prompt chains, and existing APIs into an established internal low-code workflow engine, which is a textbook vibe-coding application.
