Databutton Upgrades to Claude Sonnet 4.5 for Faster Internal Tool Development.

Databutton announced on LinkedIn that its platform now runs on Claude Sonnet 4.5, Anthropic's latest coding model. The upgrade positions the vibe coding platform as a faster option for teams building custom internal tools without traditional development cycles.

The update arrives as Databutton continues expanding its Riff platform beyond automations. The company recently added Gemini 3 support and has been targeting specific verticals including finance and sales teams with workflow capabilities.

Databutton cites Claude Sonnet 4.5's 77.2% score on SWE-bench Verified, a benchmark that tests models on real-world software engineering tasks. According to the announcement, the model supports complex applications and agents with long-running tasks, context editing, and memory features.

The platform now enables users to build:

• AI marketing dashboards that analyze channel performance
• Automated call summaries that route to Slack
• Lead enrichment workflows for sales qualification
• Custom tools tailored to specific business needs

These capabilities compete directly with traditional workflow automation platforms like Zapier and Make, which Databutton began challenging with its Riff Automations launch earlier this year.

The upgrade comes as vibe coding platforms compete on model quality and speed. Tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Cursor have similarly raced to integrate the latest large language models, with development velocity becoming a key differentiator.

Databutton's focus on internal tools rather than customer-facing applications sets it apart from visual app builders like Bubble or Glide. The platform targets teams looking to replace SaaS subscriptions with custom-built alternatives, a positioning reflected in the announcement's framing around "monthly ransoms."

The company is offering 20 free credits for users to test Claude Sonnet 4.5 on the platform. Pricing details for continued use were not disclosed in the announcement.
