🎓 May 28 @ 11am PT 

 

 

Join us to see how EDU builders are using Airtable + Claude to work smarter—from cleaning up automations and cutting down on tedious tasks to using Claude as a thought partner for brainstorming, documentation, and mind mapping.

We’ll also dig into the challenges of AI-powered assistance and share practical tips on keeping humans in control and setting up guardrails to prevent agents from going rogue. Plus, we’ll take some time to discuss how to rethink what AI means for your career.

Check out the recording below!

    What a session! Huge thanks to our EDU crew captains ​@jerilee, ​@Blessing_Nuga , ​@gaston, and ​@Tomás Amaro Monaco (and ​@pwin25 in spirit!) for an incredible hour of real talk, live demos, and one very active chat.

    Here's what we got into:

    Connecting Claude to Airtable Jerilee walked us through the basics of connecting Claude to Airtable via the browser, including a tip on managing third-party integration limits in your Airtable settings. She also shared a real use case: using Claude to help build a randomized event registration system for their OLLI Lifelong Learners program. (Connect Claude to your Airtable here!)

    Advanced demos with Claude Cowork Gas and Tommy from Boltflow showed how Claude can build and interact with custom interfaces, including pulling live data and drafting dashboards in under 30 minutes. The chat was losing its mind a little. Rightly so!

    Claude as a thought partner Blessing shared how she's been using Claude to think through workflows, learn JavaScript and Python on the fly, and set up guardrails (her go-to: "You're my digital rubber duck. Help me think through ideas but do not execute tasks without my explicit consent.").

    Keeping humans in the loop The group discussed how to scope Claude's access intentionally, whether that's connecting one base at a time, setting draft-only permissions, or making sure your institution has approved the tools you're connecting.

    A few themes from the chat worth calling out: a lot of attendees are still navigating institutional AI approval processes, basic coding knowledge (even just enough to eyeball AI output) came up repeatedly as a real differentiator, and the consensus was pretty clear that Claude is leading the pack for this kind of work.

    The recording is below. 👇 Also keep an eye on this thread for the Boltflow template ​@gaston promised to share!
