AI App-Builder Credit Costs and Broken Permissions Frustrate Internal Tools Builders
Teams building internal tools with AI app builders like Lovable report escalating credit costs to fix bugs the AI itself introduces, plus a deeper architectural risk: role-based permissions enforced only in the UI rather than the database, letting users see data outside their role, such as drivers viewing other drivers' deliveries. This combination of recurring cost and fragile access control pushes some builders to seek alternatives with real backend ownership and row-level security.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyNo enterprise-grade multi-agent AI platform with security controls and vendor independence
Enterprises need a model-agnostic, self-hostable multi-agent AI platform with SSO, audit trails, approval workflows, and a non-developer UI — existing solutions lack enterprise security controls or create vendor lock-in.
Notion Issue: Notion lack of role-based access, not ideal if use
Individual user complaint about Notion project management tool. Low engagement review.
SaaS builders repeatedly rebuild auth, database, and config boilerplate
Developers building SaaS products describe re-implementing the same foundational pieces (authentication, database setup, and environment configuration) on every new project. Despite a saturated market of starter kits, builders still spend significant time on this repetitive, low-differentiation setup work.
Secure, governed database access for AI agents in production
Engineering teams are struggling to safely grant AI and ML agents access to production databases without exposing PII or opening runaway query risks. Unlike BI tools that run deterministic queries from known schemas, agents generate unbounded queries dynamically, making RLS alone insufficient. No purpose-built access governance layer exists for agentic database connections.
Monday.com restricts custom app publishing and AI credits to enterprise admins
A Monday.com power user wants to purchase additional AI credits scoped to just their department or account, and wants non-admin super-users to be able to publish custom apps they built without needing enterprise-level licensing. Both limitations block value the user is otherwise eager to pay for.
