New capabilities to unlock agility at scale
To succeed in the AI era, large organizations across every industry require a new model for digital operations. They need to be able to deploy AI into critical processes, build customized applications to solve unique problems, and centralize security and governance.
Today, Airtable is announcing new capabilities to help large organizations meet this moment of AI-accelerated opportunity. These features empower citizen developers, the people fully immersed in the needs of the business, to develop and deploy their own AI solutions at scale.
What we’re launching:
Whether it’s to streamline digital product operations, deliver global marketing campaigns, or manage retail supply chains, Airtable’s enterprise-grade capabilities enable all business units to build and customize the applications they need, while preserving central governance.
App Library
Historically, large companies have struggled to find the right balance between standardizing global processes and meeting the needs of every business unit. App Library is a way to resolve this tension: it’s a new home for custom-developed applications that can be adopted—and adapted—across an organization.
Airtable administrators can package high-impact apps (embedded with AI and integrations) for business units to deploy. Individual functions can customize the apps to suit their own workflows, while preserving the locked-down core structure.
App Library leverages leading AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and IBM watsonx, so administrators can standardize the right models for the right processes. It also allows administrators to maintain updates across all apps, centrally deploying changes for business users to accept.
HyperDB
Decision making at large organizations is often hampered by siloed data living in disparate sources. Platforms such as Snowflake and Salesforce store highly critical information, but business units can’t always access this data to inform recurring workflows.
Now, Airtable’s HyperDB allows companies to integrate data from platforms like Snowflake and Databricks, then build bespoke, AI-driven workflows on top of that information. All the while, administrators maintain governance of the data and ensure compliance to industry standards.
With HyperDB, it’s possible to pull 100M+ records into Airtable, and operationalize that data across the organization. The result? Stronger decision making fueled by critical, cross-functional information.
Other features announced today: Org branding, which allows companies to customize Airtable with their own branding and logos. And App Sandbox, which empowers builders to create, test, and customize no-code apps in a safe environment, before deployment.
All features are designed to unlock agility across every business function, while maintaining enterprise-grade governance at scale.
