AI chatbot with Airtable as knowledge base

[Michael_Kalkows]

What are the best no-code tools to create your own ai chatbot that can talk to your Airtable base? I want users to ask a question and ChatGPT (or Claude or other LLMs) will answer using my Airtable as a knowledge base. I heard there are tools such as Flowise that enable that. Any recommendations?

Hey @Michael_Kalkows 

If you're looking to build an AI chatbot that uses Airtable as a knowledge base, several no-code options can help you achieve this. Here are some tools to consider:

This tool lets you connect  Airtable with AI models like ChatGPT, allowing your users to ask questions and get answers based on data stored in Airtable. It's relatively easy to set up and integrates well with both structured data and conversational AI.

Make Automation  You can use Make.com to connect your Airtable with Open AI API (or another LLM API). The workflow would extract data from Airtable and provide it to the LLM to generate a response, creating a smooth, no-code integration.

Similar to Make, Zapier allows you to set up automations between Airtable and ChatGPT (via OpenAI's API). It’s a straightforward way to create a chatbot that references data from your Airtable base.

 A no-code platform that connects to Airtable and allows you to build custom websites or portals with built-in chat functionality. You can integrate an LLM to answer questions based on the Airtable data.

Hi Michael,

I have been looking around for quite some time as well (I have no technical background so I am looking at low code solutions). So far :

- Lots of no-code tools like Dust, Dify.ai, Mendable, Quivr etc. have a hard time interacting in a smart way with data bases or Airtable, but you can have a talk with their dev teams to see if they can build custom integrations for you (currently trying on my side)
- A few people are toying around with tools like Flowise couple with Pinecone to vetorize their base properly before being able to exploit it (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U22PUI7jP0 for example). I have not been this far but it looks quite promising.
- Airtable "Ask AI" new feature that appears on interfaces seems to do a very basic job and does not work well with naturally understanding your fields and links between tables. I am looking up if there will be ways to train it in the near future.
- I am also getting quotes to develop it in-house. Let's see where this goes.

Anyway it seems that every option would require a lot of training and maintenance. I will keep on trying things, let's keep in touch regarding this topic to see if we can achieve.

Best,
