Custom Dashboards
Stop asking three people for numbers on Monday morning.
A custom AI dashboard pulls scattered business data into one live screen and writes the summary for you. Instead of exporting spreadsheets, your team opens one URL and reads what moved, what broke and what needs a decision. SpaceAI360 builds these on Next.js and deploys them to accounts you own.
Your numbers live in six tabs and a spreadsheet someone updates on Fridays. We build custom dashboards that pull from your actual sources in real time, then layer Claude on top to write the morning summary: what moved, what broke, what needs a decision. Not a BI tool you have to learn a screen built around how you already think.
In practice
What custom dashboards actually does
Most reporting problems are not visualization problems. They are plumbing problems: the numbers live in six tools and someone stitches them together on Friday. A custom dashboard fixes the plumbing first, then puts a written narrative on top.
One screen instead of six tabs
Revenue from Stripe, pipeline from HubSpot, delivery status from your database and support load from Zendesk, all pulled live and displayed together with the definitions your team actually agreed on.
A morning digest that reads itself to you
Every morning an AI summary explains what changed since yesterday in plain English, flags anything outside its normal range, and posts to Slack or email so people read it without opening anything.
Operational views, not vanity charts
Which orders are stuck, which leads have gone unanswered past your response target, which invoices are overdue. Views built around decisions rather than around what the BI tool made easy. Every panel answers a question somebody actually asks in your Monday meeting, and anything nobody looks at after a month gets removed rather than left to clutter the screen.
Numbers everyone agrees on
Half of all reporting arguments are definition arguments: sales counts a deal at signature, finance counts it at payment, and both are looking at different dashboards. We agree the definition once, encode it in the query rather than in a spreadsheet formula somebody can overwrite, and show the definition on hover so nobody has to remember it.

- One URL replaces six tabs
Process
How we build it
Four stages, fixed scope, and working software in week one rather than a discovery phase that produces slides.
Week 0 to 1
Metric definition workshop
We agree what each number means before building anything. Most dashboard projects fail because two departments define the same metric differently, not because of the code.
Weeks 1 to 2
Data source integration
Live connections to your tools and databases, with a caching layer so the dashboard stays fast and does not hammer rate-limited APIs.
Weeks 2 to 3
Interface build
A custom Next.js dashboard deployed to your own Vercel account, responsive on mobile, with role-based access if your team needs it.
Week 4
AI digest and handover
The written summary layer, delivery to Slack or email, and handover with documentation so your developers can extend it.
Integrations
What it integrates with
If a system has an API we can connect to it. These are the tools we wire into most often, and the list is not exhaustive.
- Postgres
- Stripe
- HubSpot
- Salesforce
- Google Sheets
- Airtable
- Shopify
- Zendesk
- Slack
- Notion
- Gmail
- n8n
- Pipedrive
- Calendly
- Outlook
Investment
What it costs
Dashboard builds start at $997 setup plus $247 a month. Larger builds with multiple live data sources, role-based access and AI digests sit at $2,497 setup plus $697 a month. Hosting runs in your own Vercel account, which for most dashboards falls inside the free or hobby tier.

Where this has been built
Each build is labelled honestly as an internal build, a solution blueprint or a productized template, and documented end to end.
