Cloud collaboration and productivity platform Airtable is
launching ‘Airtable AI’ that consists of generative AI summary, categorization,
and translation features. The company has tested these features with more than
1,200 organizations and is now making them available for purchase to all its users.
AI has been proven to be an efficient integration in workspace platforms like Google Workspace and Microsoft Office – especially for the purpose of producing summaries and drafting text documents. Airtable AI is therefore likely to make Airtable an all-rounder platform, with functions dedicated to organizing teams, pushing tailored content to customers, and more.
With the help of the summary generating tool and insights
feature, customers can obtain quick understanding of data and share insights
with each other in a team. They can also generate emails or social posts with a
single tap. Moreover, these tools will automatically apply categories and tags
to information, as well as direct action items to their relevant teams. The translation
tool works to translate information into other languages while maintaining the tone
of the original content.
Once purchased, Airtable AI needs to be manually turned on
in order to use its features. A free trial of the offering is also available,
with 500 AI credits that can be used for about 500 formulas or matching
records, 10 blog posts, or 50 translations.
Airtable offers a variety of AI models to choose from to
access Airtable AI. They include OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, and Anthropic’s
Claude model for now. More model options will be provided later too.
