One of the most underrated things people don’t talk about is the genius move for smart phones and tablets (iPhone/Android) to not ever support the “soap opera effect” https://t.co/8mRWtnhTyF

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored).

If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update!

I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it.

Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

🌠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 https://t.co/hCvx8zt6m4. All new signups get the new AI experience, and existing accounts can switch over using this link: https://t.co/9hfEO2Is18).

We're excited to launch 🚀@Airtable AI Assistant 🚀 today, along with AI document analysis and AI web research capabilities!

Airtable was founded 12 years ago with the mission of democratizing software creation. Our pioneering innovation was to distill app-building concepts (data, logic, interface) into intuitive visual components, like a no-code lego kit for app building. At the time, we speculated that someday, maybe AI would get good enough to enable conversational app building–talking to an expert AI app builder–and be a huge unlock, making app building even more accessible.

We’re now at that point. While surprisingly impressive text generation and manipulation by LLMs was the breakthrough of the 2022 ChatGPT moment, the emergence of surprisingly impressive reasoning capability from LLMs is the breakthrough of 2025. This is unlocking more autonomous agentic experiences, and generating apps and code is the first killer use case (@cursor_ai, @windsurf_ai, @DevinAI, @v0, @boltdotnew, @Replit Agent to name a few).

But for the large class of non-technical builders, a different approach is needed. When AI generates apps with code, rather than no-code building blocks, it requires a developer to fully understand how they work – and to verify them for hidden mistakes that would be tricky/impossible to debug by interface inspection alone (it may look right, but what is the data model business logic is flawed in non-obvious ways?).

Airtable Assistant is an agent that can build and modify Airtable apps through conversation, changing schemas, adding automations, and designing interfaces. You can ask it to do things like:

–“Research every conference attendee in this base” to have the Assistant immediately spin up an army of researchers that pull in background information for your attendees
–“Analyze each contract to identify key risks they pose to my business” to have the Assistant add an AI field that runs an analysis at scale for each contract you’ve signed.

Airtable Assistant can also answer questions about the data in your apps, like prompts as advanced as:

–“I'm about to meet Jane Smith at Zelos, read all of their recent sales call transcripts and tell me how far along they are in their implementation and if they’re dealing with any issues”
–“What are the most common risk factors in our contracts? Are there any changes to our default posture we might consider?”

Credit to @mikeyk for introducing us to the concept of low floor and high ceiling in HCI many years ago, which has become part of our internal lexicon for thinking about product improvements. Assistant dramatically lowers the floor to building apps, including more sophisticated ones, by helping human builders translate their business requirements into the schema design, logic, and interfaces required to deliver on the use case.

In addition to launching Airtable Assistant today, we’re also releasing the capability to deploy thousands of AI web researchers, and AI document analysts, to continuously work on the data in Airtable apps. You can do things like:

–Pull strategy and value stories from every product requirement doc to draft launch and release messaging
–Monitor all brand mentions across digital channels to measure campaign impact
–Create an automatically updating competitive intelligence dossier with the latest news and messaging from every competitor in your industry

I’ve been trying this out, and it’s a game changer. Really helped me to stay grounded during some stressful periods at work this past week. Every morning, I write a couple sentences on how I’m feeling, and it really helps me to setup my day.

It’s a remarkable experience
