Hey Sumo-lings ✌️ Ajay here, cofounder & CEO of Dreamlit.

All too often, email gets in the way of the fun stuff: building a great app. No one wants to be coding up email templates, setting up webhooks, edge functions, or user data syncs.

🎉 So we built Dreamlit 🎉

It works by sitting on top of your Postgres or Supabase database, bringing AI to your data. This means you can set up all your email workflows simply by chatting with AI.

It’s literally one-click to securely add to your app. And just one more click to setup Supabase Auth. That’s it.

From there, you’re one prompt away:

➡️ Set up a welcome email workflow and send a follow up 3 days later asking for feedback if they haven’t had any activity
➡️ Send an email blast to all my paying customers that the [new feature] is live
➡️ Slack me when there’s a new paying customer
➡️ Send an email reminder to all my users every Monday at 9am

You'll get a workflow that you can preview with live database rows, and then hit Publish when you’re ready to go live.

Check it out, & happy building 🫡

What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?

Previously I co-founded Harmonic AI, a sourcing and prospecting tool for VCs and sales teams. It is now used by top VCs like A16Z, YC, and Floodgate to amplify their investing efforts. My cofounder Andrew was previously head of engineering at a seed funded startup (Bonside) and ex-Netflix. Every startup and project we've have worked on has relied on email to communicate with users - and we've always wished there was a better way to setup flows without having to take away engineering time from building the core product.

What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?

ChatGPT-5, Cloudflare, Vercel

Where is your customer data stored?

USA

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

It started off with the insight that notifications could be driven from the database layer, not the app layer, eliminating the boilerplate every app needs to setup. Add AI to the mix and you unlock even more leverage. The result: with Dreamlit, your entire emails notification strategy across all types of notifications (from marketing, transactional, auth, scheduled) can be managed (from setup to delivery to analytics) all in one, unified, and easy to use platform.

What problem is your product solving and how?

Every other email notification service on the market requires an API integration with your app code. Meaning you need to setup a bunch of infrastructure and do a coding integration to setup all of your app's email flows, and then setup a separate data sync to another marketing automation platform for your marketing emails. Testing, analytics then require additional effort. Dreamlit is the only real-time, database integrated, AI notification service on the market. Databases are inherently contextual - and this is Dreamlit’s unlock. By sitting on top of the database, Dreamlit brings cutting-edge AI to your data.

What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?

Feedback, virality, word-of-mouth

What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?

Offering more plans and additional features for our customers (including more notification types and more AI functionality), driving sustainable growth, and building brand awareness.

Any details to clarify about the deal?
