Hi Airtable community, I’m Alon Bartur, AI Product Lead at Airtable. We're excited to announce that Airtable Assistant is now available to all users in beta. What is Airtable Assistant? Airtable Assistant helps every Airtable user accelerate app creation and discover breakthrough insights. Assistant has context about your business from the data in your Airtable app, so you can talk to it the same way you would an expert Airtable builder or a colleague who knows your domain. Just ask. Cobuilding for faster app development: Build apps quickly with simple natural language prompts - no pointing and clicking required Add new fields (including AI fields!), automations, and interfaces just by asking Continue to iterate and refine your apps through conversation Maintain full visibility and control over what the assistant is doing Insights for strategic decision-making: Ask pointed questions about your business in natural language Watch the assistant analyze large volumes of records and data to find answers Get comprehensive, real-time answers about your campaigns, product launches, customer conversations and more Make faster, better decisions with AI-powered analysis What are customers doing with Airtable Assistant?

Cobuilder helps create the initial version of an app, then transitions you into the point-and-click builder experience. Now, Airtable Assistant allows you to keep iterating and evolving your app by adding new fields (including AI fields), automations, and interfaces – plus the ability to analyze data and answer questions about the information in your apps.
