Blog - Practical Playbooks for Better Ops

Meet Airtable’s AI-native refounding: Omni turns conversations into production-grade apps and automations. Instead of brittle code-gen, Omni composes battle-tested components, seamlessly jumping between app building and data work—then scaling to thousands of AI workers across your datasets. Back-office leaders will love the no-code speed, real-time collaboration across ops, finance, HR and IT, and native integrations with Slack, Google Drive, and Zapier. Security and compliance are first-class (ISO, HIPAA, encrypted environments, audit logs, data residency), and AI is available on every plan—including free—with generous credits. Picture this: paste meeting notes and watch Omni create a company record, link documents, populate fields, and schedule follow-ups automatically. It’s a refounding moment that upgrades drag-and-drop into trustworthy, conversational app building for safe, scalable operations.
