I’ve been working on a platform for devs and agencies that need to deploy multi-platform chatbots/ai agents for their clients or projects.

https://fabrile.app

It’s built in nextjs and Django, with integrations for OpenAI, perplexity and all bedrock models. And MCP of course.

Feedback and requests welcome, I’m terrible at marketing so we have very few users but we use the platform ourselves and we’re super happy with it.

How does it work? Also for django - are you using DRF? Ninja? Django Channels? What db? Is the chatbot custom or using something like google ADK?

Curious!

We’re using Django Ninja. I candidly think Django is on its way out. Postgres backend.

Chatbot is custom, it predates the various dev kits so we ended up reimplementing a lot of that logic ourselves.

Supabase ("enhanced" postgres) and slim services on top, generated by OpenAPI-compatible frameworks. FastAPI for those who need to build python-compatible API services.

Interesting - I went from supabase ---> Django. Wanted more control over everything. Supabase is great - but doesn't replace a backend.

Django tries to do too many things — it was designed for a different time. Supabase is still a database. I would go the Supabase + fastapi route if I wanted a full featured backend today. It’s also more compatible with many current ai tools.
