What is Airtable?
Airtable is a no-code app-building platform that combines a relational database with spreadsheet-style views, automations, custom interfaces and AI features. Teams use it to organize project, product, marketing, sales, HR and operations data in one shared workspace, with real-time collaboration and permissions. The platform's AI app building lets users describe what they need in conversation and generate apps built from Airtable's no-code components. AI agents can be deployed inside those apps to work across thousands of records and trigger actions across the operation.
In practice, you can build custom internal tools, trackers, content calendars, inventory systems and client portals, connect them to Slack, Google Drive, Salesforce, Jira and Zendesk, and share reports and interfaces with guest users outside your organization. The page describes support for bases with up to 100M records and an API, scripting and custom extensions for developers.
