Airtable AI

AI fields in an Airtable base: data extraction from text and files, classification and record summaries

Airtable AI adds fields to a base that the model fills for every record: it extracts the amount and date from an attached invoice, classifies a request, writes a short description or a translation. The Omni assistant helps build a base and an interface from a process description. It helps when a register of contracts, requests or suppliers has outgrown Excel but an ERP is still far off.
