Connect a data source
Before you can build a dashboard, Vibedasher needs something to query. A data source is any place your data lives — a database, a cloud warehouse, a file you upload, or a SaaS connector.
Supported sources
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Relational databases | PostgreSQL, MySQL |
| Cloud warehouses | BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift |
| Flat files | CSV, Parquet, Excel |
| SaaS connectors | (and more being added) |
Add a connection
- Open the app at cloud.vibedasher.com and go to Connections.
- Choose your source type and fill in the connection details (host, port, database, credentials — or upload your file).
- Run Test connection to confirm Vibedasher can reach your data.
- Save. Vibedasher introspects the schema so the AI agent knows which tables and columns are available.
tip
Credentials are stored securely and masked in the UI. When you edit a connection, leave a masked field untouched to keep the existing value.
Datasets
Once a source is connected, you create datasets from it — the tables or query results
the AI agent draws on when building charts. A dataset moves through a short lifecycle
(PENDING → DOWNLOADING → PROCESSING → READY) before it's ready to query. Wait for a
dataset to reach READY before building a dashboard on top of it.
Next step
With a dataset ready, you're set to create a dashboard with AI.
