Announcements

 Hi everyone, Duretti here from the Airtable Product team.Today we're excited to announce the open beta of the Airtable Interface extensions SDK! This powerful toolkit lets developers create custom extensions that remix Airtable's functionality in entirely new ways. The Interface Extensions SDK puts the power of custom development directly in your hands.Why we built itJust like we've seen with our recent AI-Generated Interface Elements, our builder community constantly amazes us by pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Airtable. While our AI tools can generate interfaces from simple prompts, the Interface Extensions SDK gives technical builders the ultimate flexibility to create precisely what they envision through code.The Interface Extensions SDK bridges the gap between Airtable's powerful data management capabilities and your unique business needs that require custom functionality.What you can buildThe possibilities are endless, but here are some examples of what builders h

We’re excited to announce that App Sandbox is now generally available in Airtable! App Sandbox is the best way to build, test, and deploy AI and other changes to your Airtable apps without disrupting your team’s workflows. With App Sandbox, you can:- Experiment with new automations, AI features, interface pages, and app logic in a dedicated sandbox environment.- Safely test changes with a copy of your real data, previewing exactly how they’ll work before rolling them out to your team.- Confidently deploy complex updates to your live base, knowing you’ve already validated everything in a safe space. Key benefits:- No accidental disruptions: Your team keeps working with live data in the main app while you iterate in the sandbox.- Faster innovation: Try out new ideas, integrations, and AI-powered workflows without risk.- Built-in filters: Only deploy what’s ready to go out- Seamless deployment: When you’re ready, publish some or all of your changes directly from the sandbox to production.

Building on the recent launch of AI-generated interface elements, we’re excited to announce that custom interface elements can now pull in data from multiple tables. This was the community’s #1 request since launch! This capability applies to custom elements created via Omni (AI Labs) or created through the SDK (open beta for Teams, Business and Enterprise Scale plans.)  We’re also releasing two other highly requested upgrades: Version history for custom elements in Interface Designer: revert to using an older version of a custom element in an Interface page, which is particularly useful when Omni struggles to fix problems and you need to return to a known good state Revert and undo custom element changes in Omni chat: you can now revert to an older version of a custom element by clicking on a new “Revert” action next to any Omni message that made changes to the custom element, as well as undo’ing the last change by just asking Omni “Undo that” or similar What are some examples of what

This new capability lets you build bespoke interfaces to visualize and act on your data in completely new ways. Just describe what you want, and Omni creates an interface within minutes. Why we built itOur community of builders is constantly inspiring us with how they push the boundaries of Airtable.

Just cranking out pages upon pages of epic Elden Ring and Foundation-esque SFF novels and feature-length film scripts that feature rich, complex, galaxy-spanning worlds that feel uncanny—somehow both eerily familiar and bizarrely foreign.My dream? To write a Denis Villeneuve-directed, female-led, grounded sci-fi spy thriller that’s a gut-punch of emotions and smooth fight choreography—think The Bourne Identity meets Arrival.🦸🏻‍♀️ What’s your superpower at work

Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today’s Change Maker is a co-leader of the Airtable EDUser Group! Meet Paris, Assistant Director at Ascend WV 👀 What’s a fun fact most people (or your coworkers) don’t know about you?When I was a student at West Virginia University, I was the rock climber featured on top of Seneca Rocks for the school’s “Let’s Go” marketing campaign. If you look hard enough, you can still find TV ads and banners of me waving a WVU flag while perched on a precarious rocky ledge. Honestly, I probably spent more time doing things like performing, competing in Mountaineer Idol, playing in my band, than I did studying. Not sure if I majored in Marketing or in extracurriculars — but both have served me well so far!🤝 If you weren’t in your current role, what would you be doing?I’d be back in Southeast Asia, where I spent years working in the global humanitarian aid sector. There’s somet

Since the release of Airtable’s Omni and Field Agents, I have been uncovering even more use cases for AI, designing systems that not only work for everyone today but can also evolve and get smarter over time. 🌱 What’s a small change that’s had a big impact on your workflow?Building “decision-ready” views in Airtable. Instead of showing stakeholders everything, I curate it so the view answers one question or drives one decision. It saves hours of back-and-forth and basically removes the “I didn’t have the info”
