B 
Budibase
Open-source low-code for building internal tools on existing data.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep it — Anthropic has not replaced it
Anthropic's version overlaps, but does not finish the dev tools job, so this one is still worth keeping open.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- AI app builders generate internal tools from a prompt. Anthropic, January 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 2 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Retool and Appsmith.
- What the call is worth nothing to cancel
- No paid entry tier tracked, so there is no subscription to cancel.

The backstory
Budibase connects to the databases and APIs a company already runs and puts an admin interface on top, self-hosted behind the firewall. Prompt-generated internal tools are impressive until they need SSO, audit logs and a connection to the production database nobody may expose.
