I've been personally burning through billions of tokens a week for the past few months as a builder. Today I'm excited to announce Hyperagent, by Airtable. An agents platform where every session gets its own isolated, full computing environment in the cloud — no Mac Mini required. Real browser, code execution, image/video generation, data warehouse access, hundreds of integrations, and the ability to learn any new API as a skill. Deep domain expertise through skill learning. Teach the agent how your firm evaluates startups or how your team runs due diligence — now anyone on the team gets output that reflects your actual methodology, not a generic template. One-click deployment into Slack as intelligent coworkers. These aren't bots that wait to be Mentioned — they follow conversations, understand context, and act when relevant. And a command center to oversee and continuously improve your entire fleet of agents at scale. We're onboarding early users now.

We're excited to launch 🚀Airtable AI Assistant 🚀 today, along with AI document analysis and AI web research capabilities! Airtable was founded 12 years ago with the mission of democratizing software creation. Our pioneering innovation was to distill app-building concepts (data, logic, interface) into intuitive visual components, like a no-code lego kit for app building. At the time, we speculated that someday, maybe AI would get good enough to enable conversational app building–talking to an expert AI app builder–and be a huge unlock, making app building even more accessible. We’re now at that point. While surprisingly impressive text generation and manipulation by LLMs was the breakthrough of the 2022 ChatGPT moment, the emergence of surprisingly impressive reasoning capability from LLMs is the breakthrough of 2025. This is unlocking more autonomous agentic experiences, and generating apps and code is the first killer use case (Cursor, @windsurf, Devin, v0, bolt.new, Replit ⠕ Agent to name a few). But for the large class of non-technical builders, a different approach is needed. When AI generates apps with code, rather than no-code building blocks, it requires a developer to fully understand how they work – and to verify them for hidden mistakes that would be tricky/impossible to debug by interface inspection alone (it may look right, but what is the data model business logic is flawed in non-obvious ways?). Airtable Assistant is an agent that can build and modify Airtable apps through conversation, changing schemas, adding automations, and designing interfaces. You can ask it to do things like: –“Research every conference attendee in this base” to have the Assistant immediately spin up an army of researchers that pull in background information for your attendees –“Analyze each contract to identify key risks they pose to my business” to have the Assistant add an AI field that runs an analysis at scale for each contract you’ve signed. Airtable Assistant can also answer questions about the data in your apps, like prompts as advanced as: –“I'm about to meet Jane Smith at Zelos, read all of their recent sales call transcripts and tell me how far along they are in their implementation and if they’re dealing with any issues” –“What are the most common risk factors in our contracts? Are there any changes to our default posture we might consider?” Credit to Mike Krieger for introducing us to the concept of low floor and high ceiling in HCI many years ago, which has become part of our internal lexicon for thinking about product improvements. Assistant dramatically lowers the floor to building apps, including more sophisticated ones, by helping human builders translate their business requirements into the schema design, logic, and interfaces required to deliver on the use case. In addition to launching Airtable Assistant today, we’re also releasing the capability to deploy thousands of AI web researchers, and AI document analysts, to continuously work on the data in Airtable apps. You can do things like: –Pull strategy and value stories from every product requirement doc to draft launch and release messaging –Monitor all brand mentions across digital channels to measure campaign impact –Create an automatically updating competitive intelligence dossier with the latest news and messaging from every competitor in your industry Check it out 👇

We solved this with Omni, our new AI app building agent that uses production-ready Airtable components. You get the magic of conversational app building BUT can see and understand everything down to the data, logic, and interface layers – and edit through point-and-click. It’s where the magic of vibe coding meets a no-code representation of app data, logic, and interface.
