I've been trying to mix in some decaf but it's tough. 🕹️ If you weren’t in your current role, what would you be doing?Making video games or music, or both. But I'd probably still be tracking it all in Airtable. 🧑🏻‍💻 What’s the most surprising use case you’ve seen (or built) in Airtable?Gotta go with the OG W Vann Hall's community post where he created conditional linked records... before they even existed in Airtable natively.

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

Hey Airtable Community! We're excited to announce an upcoming change that will streamline your experience within our vibrant community.
