# Airtable

> Relational database platform for building team workflows and apps

Airtable is a relational database platform that teams use to build their own trackers, workflows and internal apps without code. Records can be shown in grid, kanban, calendar, gallery, timeline and Gantt views, and custom interfaces and automations sit on top of the same data. AI features, including the Omni app builder, draw on a monthly credit allowance that varies by plan.

## Key features

- **Relational bases:** Data lives in bases of linked tables. Record limits per base rise from 1,000 on Free to 50,000 on Team and 125,000 on Business.
- **Eight view types:** A table can be shown as a grid, form, calendar, gallery, kanban, timeline, list or Gantt view. Timeline and Gantt views need the Team plan.
- **Interfaces:** Custom interfaces can be built from base data, giving each team a tailored app on top of the same records.
- **Automations and sync:** Automations handle repetitive steps inside a base. Two-way sync with outside tools is included from the Business plan.
- **Omni and field agents:** Omni builds apps from a plain-language description and field agents run AI across records. Both draw on monthly AI credits: 500 per editor on Free and 15,000 per seat on Team.
- **Portals:** Portals let guest users from outside the organization collaborate on selected data.
