Omni

How far can Omni go?That's the question I set out to test. Why bother, when Claude working through Airtable's MCP server already does so well? It's great, and I'm a fan. But not every organization can allow a connected outside LLM for security reasons. If you work under those limits and still want an LLM helping with your design and dev work, Omni is the one you'll be using.What I testedOne of my most requested builds is what I call a Sync Method: a script that takes data from several sources and combines it into one operating table. For each source, rules decide whether a row creates a new record or updates an existing one, and every load is logged.I gave Omni a real change request for one of these builds. Certain records are manually flagged with a status. When a later load overwrites a key field on a flagged record, the status should reset, and the old value should be appended to a history log so repeat events build up over time.The tricky part is that once the new value is written,

Today I faced the following problem. Omni widget blocks the page. Pressing Back to Omni button doesn’t help. Is anybody experiencing a similar problem? 

I made a custom dashboard with Omni. It has a mix of content blocks, grid lists/tables and other field types. I don’t see an option for people to edit the data directly for fields that aren’t roll-ups e.g. change a single select field option, enter in a different date in the date field. It looks like the only way to edit the data is either directly in the data layer or by creating a separate form or separate non-omni interface.Is this really the case?

I had Omni create a custom interface for me. It went through all the steps, and according to omni it is done. But my interface page is still not loading after an hr. I tried this twice with the same resultsl

I am the owner of a Pro Account. I have no Omni in the left sidebar of my base, even though I have enabled AI in the settings of the Airtable account. I have looked everywhere and there is no way to integrate this feature. Please help. 

If you have been using Omni to build interfaces which I love, I’m curious if anyone else has had this problem:Whenever I want to use a field that is a linked field (a person record from another table for example), this never displays on an Omni-built interface. I always have to build a formula field that copies the content (essentially to plain text) and use that field in my interface for it to work properly.Anyone else finding this?

I am so happy and excited about the abilities for Omni to code a custom interface page and to make a custom extension and host as a page.  but I am having a ton of difficulties and challenges in figuring out how to do what I want to do—even with cursor help.  I want to create a custom interface page with the extensions that act like a normal list view but has an improved/optimized record detail view that includes the flexibility features I want for building interfaces pages.  here is what I want to do, and I am hoping to have some guidance or help for record viewer Floating/static Header control + adding a “status field” to the right of the header that also floats Making groups able to collapse and expand on title  Pagination or tabs that I can custom organize, name and assign groups and/or fields to to make long record detail pages, shorter I have tried and tried again. But all the Omni produced pages are incredibly buggy and impossible to tweak and don’t have the functionality. and I

I am just starting with Airtable and have created a tables of Jobs, Crew, and Crew Assignments. I am trying to show where we have assigned the same crew member to multiple jobs where the dates overlap. To me it seemed like a simple ask, but maybe not.I could do it mathematically if I knew enough about Airtable to know where to do the coding, but, I’m trying to use the AI as it is intended.  Here is some info: I asked Omni:Can you give me a field list for the Assignment table?Omni response:Assignment Table Field ListHere are all the fields in the Assignments table: Core Assignment Fields: Assignment id  - Auto-number (Primary field) Job  - Linked to Jobs table Crew Member  - Linked to Crew table Assignment Start Date  - Date field Assignment End Date  - Date field  Travel Date Fields: Travel To Date  - Date field Travel From Date  - Date field  Lookup Fields from Jobs: Job Start Date  - Looked up from Job Job End Date  - Looked up from Job Job Type  - Looked up from Job

Hello, I've built my site and linked my forms from the backend and captured in AirTable perfectly. This forms contain data from buyers/sellers landlord/renters(property field), I want to know if Omni can assist me in creating a matching feature so I can link buy-sell or landlord-renter requests that come in with certain perimeters which then matches and creates a new set of data, that i can follow up with. Is this possible?

I’ve been playing with Omni.  I asked it to merge two multi-select columns.  It created an AI field, which didn’t solve my needs.  I asked it to undo and it could not.  I can’t find one of the merge fields. I’m pretty sure I didn’t delete it.  Which makes me think Omni is not super safe in terms of preventing data loss.Maybe I am imagining things.  Has anyone else accidentally blown away data while using?Thanks!
