Signal intake

Open mic, open lines — every question the community brought to launch day, answered in full.

1. Line 01Are agents and super agents different, or did Base44 just change the name?Asked by AJ

   Response

   They are completely different. Regular agents are primarily live chat interfaces that can be filled with a knowledge base or connected to an LLM — treat them as a customer support chat for end users. Super Agents are fully autonomous — they can perform actions, run tasks, control entities, monitor systems, and operate independently in the background. A super agent can use a regular agent, but a regular agent cannot use a super agent.

2. Line 02Could you have a Super Agent running all the time and have it prompting on your app?Asked by AJ

   Response

   Currently, Super Agents cannot directly build or modify your app through prompts. They can control entities (read, write, update, delete via API key) and perform autonomous tasks, but the actual app building is still in the control of the human builder. However, Base44 is actively working on "agent as a collaborator" — meaning Super Agents will soon be able to build and modify apps directly. John confirmed this in the chat during the session.

3. Line 03Yesterday John mentioned per-user connectors coming "tomorrow." Does that come with Super Agents or is it separate?Asked by AJ

   Response

   It is separate. John confirmed in chat that per-user connectors are coming next week.

4. Line 04Can you give an example of something simple a Super Agent can do?Asked by Sahara

   Response

   An automated social media poster. Will (moderator) built an automated LinkedIn poster within 10 minutes of launch — it drafts content, generates images, and automatically schedules posts. Another example: Sam built a Discord sentiment tracker that analyses community mood and sends reports to Slack and WhatsApp every 15-30 minutes.

5. Line 05How do credits work with Super Agents?Asked by Community member

   Response

   Super Agents use both credit types. Prompt credits are consumed when you talk to the agent (giving instructions, asking questions). Integration credits are consumed when the agent performs background actions autonomously. You can toggle agents on/off from the tasks panel to manage costs. Sam recommends running the agent with your credit balances visible at first to get a feel for consumption rates before letting it run fully autonomously.

6. Line 06Can we use Super Agents as an MCP — for example, having an LLM query Monday.com or an ERP system through the agent?Asked by Sahara

   Response

   Sam was unsure whether Super Agents officially support custom MCPs at this stage. Base44 already has custom MCPs in the backend, but whether you can create your own MCP within a Super Agent needs further exploration. Sam committed to logging this question and following up directly.

7. Line 07I connected a Telegram bot via the agent, but every message shows "from Base44" branding. How do I remove it?Asked by YZ Plan

   Response

   This is managed through Telegram's BotFather — you can search /mybots, then edit the bot's name, image, description, and enter message directly through BotFather's interface. This is a Telegram-side configuration, not a Base44 setting. (Answer provided by AJ from the community.)

8. Line 08Is it possible to have a custom login page?Asked by Community member

   Response

   Custom login for email-only auth has been available since early January. You need to toggle off Facebook, Google, and Hotmail auth, then search "auth" in the docs and feed that context into your prompt window. Full custom login across all auth methods (Google, Facebook, etc.) is still being worked on and is getting closer but no confirmed date. Apple Login is already available as an out-of-the-box solution.

9. Line 09My app is on APK and the App Store. When a user does "forgot password," the link opens the web version with the old login page instead of the app. Can this be fixed?Asked by Community member

   Response

   When configuring custom login, you will be able to configure elements like the password reset flow. This is part of the ongoing custom login improvements.

10. Line 10Does Base44 plan to enter game development territory — 3D animated games like Clash of Clans?Asked by Master Chief

    Response

    Base44 is a React-based web app, so there are constraints on heavy asset loading. However, a lot is already possible with Three.js. Sam has personally made games on Base44 and has seen a user on Reddit (r/base44) building an MMO with 3D generated cinematics. Clash of Clans is definitely remakeable one-to-one on Base44 right now. Additionally, WebSocket capabilities were quietly released in early February, meaning real-time multiplayer games are now possible. Sam strongly encouraged the community to build games as they are massively underrepresented and Base44 will feature and promote them.

11. Line 11I am stuck trying to integrate email back to my work address. It is Microsoft 365.Asked by Paulie P

    Response

    Base44 has an Office 365 connector and a Microsoft Teams connector. Scrap any previous manual approach and just prompt: "Please can we integrate Office 365 via the Office 365 connector." It will walk you through logging in with your credentials and connecting. Microsoft integrations are notoriously difficult to do manually, so the connector approach is much simpler.

12. Line 12What plans is the Super Agent available on?Asked by Mr. PC Man

    Response

    The Super Agent is available on ALL plans, including the free plan. There is no restriction on plan access. On the free plan you will hit daily credit limits quickly, but there is no paywall blocking access.

13. Line 13My API server requires IP filtering for connections. How do I handle this with Base44?Asked by Ro

    Response

    John confirmed in chat that the Enterprise plan does have IP adjustments, so IP filtering is possible on that tier.

14. Line 14How can I create separate dashboards for different users in my app?Asked by Balora

    Response

    This is managed through RLS (Row-Level Security) and user permissions. The recommended approach: create a "user permissions" or "user profile" entity separate from the default users table. When a user registers, onboard them through a one-off setup screen that populates this permissions entity. You can then control what each user sees based on their permission record — different views, different toggles, different access levels. You can also build an admin dashboard that controls these toggles. Alternatively, Base44 now has built-in role management in the users table, but Sam still recommends the separate permissions entity approach as good practice. Use discuss mode to plan this.

15. Line 15Is there a way to make automatic backups of my app?Asked by Guy

    Response

    Yes. Use scheduled tasks. Go to your prompt window and write something like: "I'd like to create full daily scheduled backups. Please create me a UI that supports downloading these backups and create me a scheduled task that backs up all of [list what you want backed up]." It will create a scheduled backup routine and a download interface for you.

16. Line 16Is there a way to test different ideas or branches without publishing to live users?Asked by Innovation Is Life

    Response

    There is no official branching system yet (John confirmed it is being worked on but will take time). The current workaround: take your base domain URL and prepend "preview--" to it. This loads an unpublished version of your app — essentially a staging environment where you can test development changes with real user context without publishing. Another workaround is building an admin toggle system — develop features behind on/off switches controlled from an admin panel so you can enable/disable them for live users.

17. Line 17I saw in the changelog that you can now change which model is used by invoke LLM. Is this only through the chat or can I do it in admin settings?Asked by Innovation Is Life

    Response

    Currently only available through the chat — not through a GUI or admin settings panel. This was confirmed by John.

18. Line 18I have been appending "preview--" to your portfolio URL to see what you were changing. Is there a way to block people from doing that?Asked by AJ

    Response

    Sam was unsure whether there is a way to block the preview URL. This was noted to follow up on. It highlights a potential security/privacy consideration with the preview URL feature.

19. Line 19Will Base44 be working on a way for paid apps to get approved in app stores without needing to build a wrapper and native code?Asked by Community member

    Response

    There are plans to support subscriptions and payments more natively going forward. Sam's own production app is on both app stores using RevenueCat. The publish-to-mobile process is improving but full native app store subscription support is not confirmed yet.

20. Line 20Will Base44 apps be able to store personal info like social security numbers, bank details, and documents?Asked by Community member

    Response

    Directly storing high-security data in blank entities is technically possible but strongly not recommended. Instead, integrate with specialised secure storage APIs that have already solved the security problems. Sam has previously integrated fingerprint scanners and UK passport uploads via third-party API services. Use dedicated secure services rather than storing sensitive data directly in Base44 entities.

21. Line 21Can you use Super Agents as a customer support bot in your app?Asked by Community member

    Response

    Yes, absolutely.

22. Line 22Is there a way to register people from outside the system instead of having them sign up on the registration page?Asked by Community member

    Response

    Sam did not believe the Super Agent has the ability to inject into the users entity directly at this stage.

23. Line 23How can you connect a SQL database with Base44?Asked by Community member

    Response

    Go and create your database wherever you want it hosted. Then either pull its API documentation or if it is a popular database, just write to your discuss chat something like: "I'd like to integrate with [database name]. How would I go about doing this for this to be my primary data source?" The prompt will walk you through the integration.
