FAQ

JayBase is the data store where it's safe for your agent to have write access. It is a hosted store for owner-builders who need agents to operate on company data, not only read it.

JayBase is an append-only fact store: agents add facts; history is not silently rewritten or deleted. Every write is attributed. JayBase does not decide whether a fact is "true." An authorized agent can still write a bad fact; JayBase keeps that action visible and correctable.

Owner-builders shipping AI agents who need a durable store for critical business data. Agencies doing that same job fit too.

JayBase fits when you are ready to let agents write (ops, bookkeeping-style work, CRM-like records, and similar), and mistakes must stay visible and fixable.

Airtable is built for human teams in a grid. JayBase is built for agents as writers: durable history, attributed writes, and a trust model where write access is the point.

Use Airtable when humans are the primary operators. Use JayBase when agents need a store that can absorb agent write patterns without turning one bad loop into lost source data.

General-purpose SQL assumes deterministic app code owns every write. Agents make judgment calls, retry uncertain work, and can mutate data at machine speed.

JayBase puts agent-oriented write protections in the store: append-only history, attribution, retry-safe writes, and corrections as new events. JayBase is not a replacement for every SQL workload, analytics warehouse, or vector database.

Create an account on jaybase.ai first (login and billing). Starting the free trial names your first JayBase and puts a card on file.

Your account holds identity and billing. A JayBase is the data store your agents connect to.

14-day free trial with a card on file. You pay $0 until the trial ends, then convert to paid.

The trial clock starts when you create your first JayBase, not when you open an empty account.

If you do not convert after the trial, you get 7 days read-only to export, then soft-delete.

One plan: $20 per month per JayBase. Includes 5 GB storage and 10 agent connections.

Overage: +$10 per additional 5 GB; +$5 per additional 20 agent connections (monthly). Billing is monthly for now.

Magpie and Martin are CLIs and domain schemas on the same JayBase.

Magpie is the books CLI. Martin is the CRM CLI. Point them at your JayBase. JayBase is the product; Magpie and Martin are how you work in those domains on the store.

An agent connection is any client authenticated with a live API/writer credential on that JayBase.

Each JayBase includes 10 agent connections. Need more? +$5 per month for each pack of +20 connections.

Spaces are the projection shell for your store data: live grids humans use to see and fix what agents wrote. They are not tables.

Spaces follow the types present in your JayBase. New types show up as Spaces; empty ones drop away.

JayBase is the data store where it's safe for your agent to have write access.

Safer than unconstrained write credentials on a mutable production database: history is append-oriented, writes are attributed, and corrections preserve evidence instead of silently editing the past. Agents can still write bad facts; JayBase keeps those actions visible and fixable.
