🌠Today, we’re excited to relaunch Airtable as the AI-native app platform, combining the magic of vibe coding business apps with real production-readiness and scalability, and embedding them with an army of agents that automate thousands of hours of work in seconds.

Instead of just adding more AI capabilities to our existing platform, we treated this as a refounding moment for the company. We started with a clean-slate imagining of the ideal form factor for building apps in the agentic era.

(If you want to skip all the backstory and just try it out, you can just go to Airtable.com. All new signups get the new AI experience, and existing accounts can switch over using this link: bit.ly/4leXbZ0).

Thread and demos below👇 We launched Airtable in 2015 with the mission of democratizing software creation. In the AI era, this mission is more timely than ever – as validated by the recent rise of vibe coding (@cursor_ai @windsurf_ai @v0 @lovable @Replit @boltdotnew) as a killer use case of AI.

Building apps conversationally with a vibe coding agent is truly a magical experience, and has given nondevelopers an incredible new superpower to build rapid prototypes.

Yet vibe coding is unreliable and error-prone for building production business apps. Vibe coding by nature produces apps that look good (because that’s what the builder can iterate on without knowing how to read the underlying generated code), yet underneath could contain bugs, edge cases, and data/security leaks.
