Stop with AI features!

I have been using top-tier Airtable since 2021. I have a very complex workspace with 100k records coming and going, 100+ users, I use new features before they are even announce, I know the stuff.

Airtable should minimze the development of AI features that only work to deceive small users with the “Agents Hype”.

Please, PLEASE!! Lets come back to the good old days when features were really ground breaking, really hard-core for builders and high-end users. Remember the releases of “two-way sync”, “interfaces”? This is year “What’s New” page is just sad.

Airtable is getting PAINFULLY slow when you have a few syncs and formulas. Improvements in performance should be a priority over AI slop.

I agree, it tends to get slow with multiple syncs and formulas.


I’’m in my 7 day free trial with 2 days left.  I have built my small Base with less than 200 records in one table and about 100 in a second, relationship table.    A basic membership database of a small nonprofit.  The lag has been painful.  Brings back memories of dial up!  I have 2 days to decide if I can live with the pain.

​@Around the Pond Hm, on a base that’s both large and complicated enough there can be some loading time, but for something as small as what you’re describing I’ve never experienced noticeable lag

Not ruling anything out, but I think it might be worth running experiments on different devices / networks to see whether there’s anything local that’s causing these issues
