Description
Airtable is a hybrid tool that looks and feels like a spreadsheet but offers the robust capabilities of a relational database. It allows users to store, organize, and connect various types of information, from text and numbers to files and links, in a highly visual and customizable way. Teams use Airtable for everything from project management and content calendars to CRM and inventory tracking. Its strength lies in its ability to handle complex data relationships, support multiple views (grid, calendar, gallery, kanban), and integrate with other services. With recent additions like an AI field type and AI-powered automations, it empowers non-technical users to build powerful, tailor-made applications and leverage AI without writing code.

3.Link records between tables to create relationships and structure your data (e.g., link tasks to projects).
4.Use different 'views' (grid, calendar, kanban, gallery) to visualize and interact with your data in various ways.
5.Automate workflows within Airtable using built-in automations or integrate with other tools via extensions and webhooks.
