Welcome

Hi everyone, I'm Akshar Patel (AP), a Product Manager here at Airtable. Today I'm excited to share three updates that make it easier to collaborate with your team directly inside Airtable, so you don't have to jump across tools to keep conversations moving. Whether you're giving feedback on a record, tracking what's been addressed, or trying to find that one notification from last week, these updates are for you.  1. Attach files directly to commentsYou can now attach files (images, PDFs, videos, documents, and more) right inside your comments on a record.  Instead of describing what you're referring to or linking out to another tool, drop the file directly into the conversation. Think design mockups, screenshots of bugs, signed contracts, or reference docs. How to use it: Click the paperclip icon in the comment input area, or drag and drop files directly in Each comment supports up to 5 attachments (max 10 MB per file) Click any attachment thumbnail to open it in a full-screen viewer

Hi everyone,We’re rolling out three new AI improvements to make Omni feel much closer to where you already work in Airtable: interfaces, records, and comments. Here’s what’s new:Open Omni from any interface or record detail Omni, right where you’re working Ask Omni questions about a comment thread 1.

With one click, viewers can instantly perform complex actions like AI-driven data analysis, generating reports, or creating new records.Why this is usefulBuilders can insert high‑quality, prewritten Omni instructions directly into an interface or record detail. End‑users don’t have to write prompts or configure anything; they just click the button and Omni runs those instructions on the current record or view. This gives teams consistent, repeatable AI output and makes it much easier for more people to benefit from Omni without
