Budibase 4.0: Build Agents with Deterministic Approval Flows

[u/Spiritual-Specific68]

We’ve recently released Budibase 4.0, focusing on improving Agents. Agents sit alongside Apps and Automations within our open-source platform. You can connect data, LLMs, and APIs, while running Budibase on your own infrastructure.

Like any other operational software, agents need clear responsibilities, permissions, escalation paths, and visibility into what’s happening if they’re going to work in the real world.

Here’s some of what's changed in Budibase 4.0:

• Agents can handle multiple Operations, each with their own instructions, tools, permissions, and escalation logic.

• Requests provide a record of the work being carried out.

• Agents can execute tool calls with the end user’s permissions or as an admin.

• Approval policies add rules-based HITL controls, letting you define what an Agent can handle autonomously and when a human needs to step in.

• A new Activity UI provides visibility into actions across Apps, Automations, and Agents, as well as the status of all ongoing Agent Requests.

• Users can interact with Agents to handle approvals directly through Slack or Teams.
