Airtable AI

Airtable is the flexible database platform that bridges spreadsheets and custom software — used by 450,000+ organizations to build project trackers, content calendars, CRM systems, and operational databases without code. Airtable AI brings generative AI into the database itself.

## AI Field Types

Airtable AI introduces a new category of database fields powered by generative AI: - **Generate text**: Write descriptions, summaries, or content based on other fields in the record ("Write a one-paragraph description of this product using the Name, Category, and Features fields") - **Summarize**: Condense long text fields into brief summaries - **Extract from text**: Pull specific entities from text fields (extract company name from a contact email signature; extract action items from meeting notes) - **Categorize**: Classify records into categories based on field contents - **Translate**: Translate text fields between languages

These AI fields update automatically when source fields change, keeping generated content in sync.

## AI Automation Actions

Airtable automations can now include AI steps — trigger an automation when a record is created and use AI to classify it, summarize it, or generate a response. This enables AI-powered workflows: new customer inquiry arrives → AI classifies the type → routes to the right team → AI drafts an initial response.

## AI in Interfaces

Airtable Interface Designer builds custom apps on top of Airtable data. AI features in interfaces allow: natural language search across records, AI-generated summaries in detail views, and dynamic content generation based on record context.
