New: AI-generated Interface ElementsNews

Hi everyone, Stephen here from the Airtable Product team.Today we’re rolling out AI-Generated Interface Elements to AI Labs. This new capability lets you build bespoke interfaces to visualize and act on your data in completely new ways. Just describe what you want, and Omni creates an interface within minutes. Why we built itOur community of builders is constantly inspiring us with how they push the boundaries of Airtable. Although there are so many possibilities using Airtable’s out-of-the-box components, we’ll never be able to build every possible way to interface with your data as a first-party feature. Now Omni can spin up completely unique elements in seconds from your prompt. What you can createHere are just a few examples of the types of interfaces that builders have already created: A 3D viewer to explore product models and cost breakdowns A heatmap of revenue by region and segment A network diagram showing relationships between members of a community A map of potential store o

Understanding Your AI Credits: Real-World Examples & UsageNews

Hey Airtable community! 👋We've been getting questions about AI credits and what they actually mean for your day-to-day workflows. I wanted to share some concrete examples of how credits are consumed so you can better understand the value included in your plan—and make the most of this powerful functionality. Quick Context Every Airtable plan includes AI credits that reset monthly, pooled across your organization:Team: 15,000 AI credits per user per month Business: 20,000 AI credits per user per month Enterprise Scale: 25,000 AI credits per user per monthThese credits power various AI features across the platform, from Omni to document analysis and image generation.

Community Change Makers: HearstLab's Proactive Pipeline Insight with OmniInterview

Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today’s Change Maker was one of the winners of our MVP AI Build Contest, showcasing innovative use of Airtable AI.  Meet Dominique, Data and Operations Director at HearstLab 🦸🏻‍♀️What’s your superpower at work?I’m surrounded by people who make it easy to do great work. I’ve had leadership that genuinely supports innovation, and I get to build for (and with) exceptionally brilliant people. I’ve also been lucky to work with companies I believe in, which is a huge motivator.Helping people do their best work feels meaningful and selfishly, building for great brains makes me better. It pushes me to think differently, stretch how I approach systems, and co-create tools I never would’ve reached alone. Especially now, as we bring AI into more of what we do, it’s an exciting time to be a builder and a translator.🗯️ What advice would you give to someone just getting start

New: Share public interface pages publicly

Hello! I’m Ayesha, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’re so excited to share an improvement to interfaces that will let you share some page types publicly in a read-only format. You can share a link to these pages or embed them in other websites. What are publicly shared interface pages?  Most interface pages can now be publicly shared and can be accessed by a non-Airtable user without being logged in. These pages are read-only and your audience will be able to filter, sort, search, and expand details on your page.   How do you create a publicly shared page? After you have published one of the supported page types, the share dialog will feature a new “Share Publicly” tab. Turning on the switch will enable public sharing using a unique link that is generated when the toggle is turned on. What does a public page look like? You can check out a real example at https://www.airtable.com/whatsnew!We’ve embedded a public interface page that shows our recent launches. Other comm

New: Improvements to Timeline View

Hello everyone, I'm a product designer at Airtable. This quarter, our team is working on a number of improvements to Timeline view based on all the feedback we've heard (much of that from the community so thanks for the great ideas!).  We're starting with improvements to the way we render labels. Previously labels were cut off very often, whenever records were too short or just off the edge of the viewport. This meant reading data required a lot of zooming, scrolling, and hovering. Today we're making this much easier by releasing three key updates: Labels now stay on the screen as you scroll, so you can continue to read them. Labels overflow, so so they're visible even when the records are very short or zoomed out. Records beyond the fold are now pointed to by arrows, so you can preview and navigate to them. Jump into one of your Timeline views today to try these updates yourself. We hope you enjoy these improvements, but please continue to share your feedback here as well as y

New formatting options for number fields

Hi Airtable Community! I'm Matt, a Software Engineer here at Airtable. We're excited to announce some new features of number fields that give you more control over how numeric data is formatted and abbreviated. To access these updates, create a Number field or configure an existing Number field.What's included in these updates?Format numbers for different languages. Using the new “Thousands and decimal separators” setting, you can format numbers automatically based on users' language preferences with the new “Local” option. For example, an English-speaking user sees 1,234.0 while a German-speaking user sees 1.234,0. You can also choose a specific format that applies to all users regardless of language preferences. Support for additional languages and regions will be available over the coming weeks.Control whether thousands separators are shown.
