Airtable AI slots the Omni agent into a database trusted by 80% of the Fortune 100

Airtable AI is the artificial intelligence layer built into Airtable, the no-code platform halfway between a spreadsheet and a database. Its centerpiece is Omni, an assistant that assembles apps, interfaces and automations out of a chat. Since the per-seat add-on was retired, AI ships with every plan, the free one included, through monthly credits. More than 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100, already run their work on the platform.

Omni, the do-everything assistant inside Airtable bases

Omni builds apps, analyzes your data and researches the web, all through conversation. You type "build me a hiring tracker with a dashboard and automatic follow-ups", and the tables take shape on screen as you talk. No blind code generation here: the assistant snaps together the platform's production-grade components, which matters when a relational database is the backbone of the whole team.

One welcome detail, confirmed by the company itself: building or reworking an app with Omni draws down zero credits. Only analysis questions about your data are metered, at roughly 10 credits per answer.

• Tables, interfaces and automations created on request
• Document analysis, including very large PDFs
• Web research folded into answers
• Record creation and updates, within each person's permissions

AI fields and field agents, the other half of Airtable AI

AI fields apply a treatment to every record: summaries, translation, categorization, or pulling facts out of documents thousands of pages long. Switched into agent mode, those treatments run across thousands of records at once (the credit meter keeps spinning meanwhile, fair warning). One major streaming company reported saving 280 hours a week on genre classification alone.

The enterprise tier rounds things off with App Library, for distributing standardized apps internally, and HyperDB, which plugs in datasets of over 100 million records. The concept echoes autonomous AI agents, with one twist: here the agent lives inside your data and obeys your permissions.

Monthly credits on every plan, free tier included

Every plan comes with monthly AI credits. The free tier allots 500 per editor, pooled across the workspace; Business grants 20,000 per paid seat and Enterprise Scale 25,000. Subscription-wise, Team runs $20 per seat per month billed annually, Business $45, Enterprise Scale by quote. These figures shift with each product announcement, so give the official pricing page the final say before committing.
