Excited to join @SuperhumanHQ to lead design for Go, their new AI assistant!

Building on Grammarly’s foundation, I think AI can be woven into our work in far more contextual, seamless ways, showing up with the right help at the right moment.

I can't wait to build that future 🙂

So excited to launch the new AI-native @airtable! We’ve reimagined Airtable from the ground up—with natural language app building, built-in agents, and a fresh new look. It’s our biggest update ever. Check it out. ⬇️

🌠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.

I sat down with @DesignerFund to reflect on starting @doptcom—especially the early days, like:
• Scrapping our first idea
• Running 60+ interviews to build conviction
• Why now is such a good time to be a design founder

Had a blast contributing to the State of AI & Design report from @DesignerFund and @FoundationCap.

We need new patterns, tools, and ways of working with AI. This report is a great level set. Check it out: https://t.co/SityPZkmjh

🚀 Big moment for us at Airtable: introducing the Airtable Assistant!

Now you can talk to Airtable to build AI-powered workflows and pull insights from your data—just describe what you need, and the Assistant helps you make it happen.

The single biggest thing that makes AI actually useful is context—and that’s exactly what Airtable has by default. Your data, your structure, your workflows—it’s all already there. That means way less back-and-forth prompting, and way more productive AI right out of the box.

And maybe the coolest part: the things you create with AI aren’t one-off answers. You’re building live, AI-powered apps that your whole team can use and keep improving—major workflow upgrades, shared by default.

We’re just getting started, but this is a huge step toward making software feel more human and collaborative!

@kurtvarner @Adobe So amazing, congrats!!

🚀 So excited to ship document extraction and analysis in @airtable AI!

Check out this demo of how record labels can extracting data from talent contracts to streamline track deliveries, royalty payments, and marketing budgets.

Just upload PDFs, PowerPoints, or Word Docs, and Airtable instantly extracts metadata, summarizes content, and generates insights to power custom workflows.

A few other ways teams are using it:

💻 Tech – A FAANG company is building an AI-powered research repository to help Product teams quickly surface insights from existing user research, enabling smarter product decisions.

🎬 Media – Major media studios are pulling data from crew sheets, budgets, and production schedules—no matter the format—to accelerate production timelines.

🚗 Auto – A leading car rental company is automating their vehicle sales process, extracting warranty and service data from unstructured documents to sell cars faster.

So much manual work saved 🎉
