Universal API for user data

The next 1 billion apps will be different. They will be built at exponentially faster rates using newer tools, and by a broader range of people. Yet one thing will remain the same — the best of them will still feel like magic.

At Basic, we believe it's time to raise the bar for infrastructure to usher in this new internet.

AI will be hyper-personalized

Context becomes gold, instead of data, in a post-AI world where apps and agents will be as powerful as the context they have. Developers will focus on function instead of having to connect the spread of data across a user's apps.

Collaboration will be real-time

The lack of collaboration in real-time causes information to exist in multiple places with the chance of inconsistencies. Tech like Google Drive, Figma, and CRDTs have made huge strides in this — real-time collaboration will become the default for every app.

Data will be user-owned

Developers will build lean apps that read data directly from their users. We will iterate and ship faster without worrying about compliance and security. AI / ML models will improve securely without any leakage of sensitive information.

…and more!

We, at Basic, are dedicated to further the rate of innovation for infrastructure alongside the developments in AI and app creation. Meanwhile, we love to gather like-minded people interested in building the open web.
