Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of a groundbreaking new feature called Airtable Cobuilder. This innovative tool enables users to transform ideas into fully functional Airtable apps with just a simple prompt.
What is Airtable Cobuilder?
Airtable Cobuilder is the fastest way to create transformative apps. It uses AI to spin up hyper-specific, customizable apps that can solve any problem—from operationalizing clean energy to powering a retailer’s product roadmap.
Cobuilder empowers anyone with an idea to:
- Create a hyper-custom application to tackle problems and explore new ideas. Cobuilder redefines the app-building experience by allowing users to generate applications tailored specifically to their job, industry, problem, or goals. Unlike traditional templates, Cobuilder delivers hyper-custom solutions that align perfectly with the unique needs of each user.
- Incorporate Airtable best practices into easy-to-use work management software. Every app generated by Cobuilder comes equipped with Airtable's world-class features. Currently, this means an "interface-first" approach, ensuring intuitive and interactive user experiences. Looking ahead, Cobuilder will integrate advanced functionalities, including logic, automations, and AI-driven fields, keeping users at the cutting edge of technology.
- Accelerate work & drive impact across the company. With Cobuilder, the process of turning an idea into a best-in-class application is nothing short of magical. In just a few seconds, users can go from concept to a ready-to-deploy custom app. This democratizes app creation, empowering individuals across all levels of technical expertise to build powerful tools.
Cobuilder empowers employees to create apps that are simple to build, intuitive to use, and easily customizable for bespoke business workflows.
“I think the challenge that anyone has historically faced around software is that you're stuck between two extremes,” says Anthony Maggio, VP of Product Management at Airtable. “You either use some type of point solution software, which tends to not be very customizable. Or you need to develop your own custom application, which can be costly and time consuming.”
Airtable Cobuilder changes this reality: “You no longer need to understand even the concepts of software development. You simply need to be able to describe your business problems and the processes that you want to manage, and get an application that is custom-designed around your needs in just a few seconds,” Anthony says.
