Your Operational Hub, Now Intelligent
Airtable is where many teams already run their operations: clients, projects, events, requests and assets. Much of the work around it is still manual, such as reading attachments, sorting enquiries, writing summaries and replying to people.
RK Consulting combines Airtable with AI models like Claude, GPT and Gemini, and with Airtable's own AI features, so that work happens automatically as records arrive. Your team reviews the results in a clear Airtable interface instead of doing the work by hand.
How It Works
- A record changesA form is submitted, an email or document arrives, or a record is updated in Airtable.
- AI does the reading and writingThe relevant fields are sent to an AI model with clear instructions to extract, classify, summarise or draft.
- Results land back in AirtableFields are filled in, records are tagged and routed, and notifications go to the right people.
- Your team stays in controlAnything important waits for review in an Interface Designer screen before it's sent or actioned.

Airtable + AI Automation Questions
Does Airtable have built-in AI?
Yes. Airtable includes built-in AI features that can summarise, categorise and generate text inside your bases. When you need more control over models, prompts or costs, we also connect external models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini through Airtable scripts, Zapier or Make.
What can AI do inside Airtable?
Common uses include extracting details from documents and forms into records, classifying and tagging incoming requests, summarising notes and feedback, scoring leads, and drafting emails or responses for your team to review and send.
Is it safe to use AI with the data in our Airtable base?
We design workflows that send only the fields needed, use business-grade AI APIs, and keep a human review step for important decisions, in line with the NZ Privacy Act 2020.
Do we need to rebuild our Airtable base to add AI?
Usually not. We can add AI automations to an existing base, and suggest structural improvements where they'll make the results more reliable.
How does a project with RK Consulting start?
Every project starts with a free, no-obligation conversation about your challenge and goals. We then send a clear, scoped proposal with deliverables and timelines before any work begins.
