Introduction

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.

​

What is Dreamlit AI?

Dreamlit is an AI-powered email automation platform that sits on top of your Supabase or PostgreSQL database. You describe what you need in plain English, and Dreamlit builds the trigger logic, templates, timing, and delivery. Connect your database in one click. 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

You’ll get a workflow you can preview with live database rows. Hit Publish when you’re ready to go live.

• Optimized AI for notifications: generates end-to-end, production-ready workflows (templates, copy, and logic) from plain-English prompts
• Realtime triggers: acts on live database events, so emails send the moment key activity occurs
• Easy setup: a guided flow walks you through connecting your database and configuring your email domain
• Preview and test: verify workflows with visual previews against live data from your database
• All email types: auth, transactional, scheduled, and marketing in one platform

Learn more about the database-centric architecture that makes this possible.

Why does your app need emails?

The moment you want other people using your app, you’ll need emails. Most apps require at least one of these notification types:

• Auth emails (magic links, password reset, signup confirmations): If you’re using Supabase Auth, note that the default auth email sender is not intended for production. You’ll need a verified sender before real users can access your app. See the Supabase Auth emails guide.
• General app notifications: critical updates and re-engagement messages that keep users informed
• Scheduled emails: recurring messages like weekly digests, reminders, or renewal nudges
• One-off broadcasts: one-time announcements to your users (product updates, promotions, launches)
• Onboarding sequences: welcome flows, milestone nudges, and re-engagement to maximize retention

Why is email setup hard?

Traditional email platforms were built for the old way of building applications. You need to generate API keys, wire API calls, manage templates, and glue everything together yourself. Here’s what you’ll run into:

• Hard to preview and test: no simple way to verify emails before launch, especially with time-based logic (delays)
• Manual templates and copy: painful to design HTML emails and write copy from scratch
• Tedious configuration: domains (DNS), SMTP, API keys, provider configs
• Logic scattered everywhere: no easy way to see your entire email strategy in one place
• Multiple tools needed: transactional, scheduled, and marketing emails often live in different systems

​

How does Dreamlit compare to other email platforms?

Traditional email platforms require a code-level integration with your app. Dreamlit sits on top of your database instead, with no SDKs, no API calls, and no webhooks required to interact with Dreamlit. Realtime, no data sync means the service operates on live database events without requiring you to export user data to another platform.
