Hi everyone, I'm Akshar Patel (AP), a Product Manager here at Airtable. As we close out Q1, I wanted to share a few quality of life improvements we've been working on. These are the kinds of updates that make your Airtable experience meaningfully better every day. Comment Resolution & File AttachmentsEarlier this quarter we launched the ability to resolve comments and attach files to comments on records. Now, we're bringing those same capabilities to our proofing viewer (attachments set to “versions” mode). If your team reviews creative assets in Airtable, you can now resolve comments and attach files directly within the attachment viewer keeping all your feedback organized and actionable right where the review happens. Date Dependencies Auto-Calculate Start Date For my fellow date dependency fans, we've updated the date calculation logic for Fixed dependency mode to auto-calculate the Start Date of a record when its predecessor is selected.

He first discovered Airtable when creating an HR information database for the bakery's employees.What's your go-to productivity hack or ritual?Constantly asking myself: "Is this really the best way to do this?" I spend a lot of time questioning whether there's a better approach. In the past, turning that kind of reflection into a meaningfully better solution took a long time — and came with a lot of failures along the way. But now, through conversations with AI and tools like Airtable, I'm able

We just launched Superagent, and I'm excited to share what we've been building.Hopefully you have seen by now that we just launched Airtable’s first standalone product, Superagent. I am the co-founder and CEO of Superagent, which is an evolution of the acquisition of DeepSky last fall. Most AI agents hit a wall when you ask them to tackle the kind of work that normally takes a team weeks to complete—comprehensive market research, competitive intelligence that tracks evolving landscapes, financial modeling that requires coordinating multiple analytical threads. They either get lost in their own complexity or produce surface-level summaries that miss what actually matters.Superagent is different because it thinks like an organization, not like a single analyst grinding through a checklist. Instead of cramming everything into one context window and hoping for the best, it builds a knowledge graph around business intent. Every piece of research knows why it exists, what goal it serves, and

Hey Airtable Community,We're excited to announce two key updates for Enterprise Scale customers: a brand-new Databricks sync integration and expanded custom SQL support for both Databricks and Snowflake.What's newDatabricks is now available as a native sync source. And for both Databricks and Snowflake, you can now sync the result of any custom SQL query, not just predefined views or tables, directly into Airtable.This means any user with permission to execute queries within a warehouse can write precise queries to sync data to Airtable tables on a schedule, ready for automations, interfaces, and cross-functional workflows.Why this mattersData warehouses hold your company's most trusted data, but that data has historically been locked behind SQL and BI dashboards. With these syncs, you can operationalize warehouse data directly in Airtable: users can enrich warehouse data with local context, trigger automations on data thresholds, surface prioritized records for sales and ops teams, an

Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today’s Change Maker leveraged Airtable's AI features to transform her organization’s payment approval workflow from a 2-3 day manual process to same-day execution with full compliance audit trails. Meet Sonia (​@Sonia_AV), Investment Operations & Compliance ManagerQ: Do you have a go-to creative outlet or way to unwind after a busy day?A: CrossFit! I'll admit I'm naturally lazy about exercise and it takes effort to show up, but once I'm there, focusing on reps and completing the workout is the perfect way to switch off. My favorite part? When it ends!Q: What's a small feature or automation that makes a big difference in your day-to-day?A: Slack notifications from Airtable automations. They tell me when actions are completed (not when I have more work to do!), so I don't need to track everything on my to-do list. I've even personalized them with Spanish phrases
