You can't compare the accuracy of speech recognition to LLM task completion rates. A nearly-there yet incomplete solution to a Github issue is still valuable to an engineer who knows how to debug it.

Airtable itself lets you expose simple forms to the public internet.

Then there are dedicated form tools like Fillout that let you build more complex forms that integrate with Airtable.

I was only there for a few months!

If revenue was stalled, the investors would have written it off and deferred to the founders.

One factor that no one seems to have noticed is that both cofounders, Ravi and Joshua, have already built fairly big companies. Ravi was the co-founder at Heap (he took over my co-founder spot after I left), and Joshua was the CTO at Benchling.

Both of those companies have raised >$100M. After that success, the prospect of continuing to run a middling company in the shadow of Retool isn't very appealing.

Neat. But why did you build this instead of just using Jasper?

All business software are tools.

I don't know where you work, but automated continuous deployment has been an industry standard for fifteen years.

There are lots of examples in the use cases section of any low-code vendor, but in short, most internal tools are not in the horizontal categories you listed. They're in vertical, industry-specific categories at SES (Software-Enabled Services) companies.

A quick commerce startup, for instance, is unlikely to find an inventory tracking app off-the-shelf that fits their workflow, since existing ERPs are not going to fit their workflow.

Cool. How do you use it to generate the frontend CRUD interfaces?

How do you use ChatGPT to write CRUD apps? Do you mean Github Copilot?

It depends what you mean by CRUD app.

Strictly speaking, the answer to your question is Airtable.

Equals is an actual spreadsheet with read-only access to your warehouse. It's used for analytics and accounting.

Plato is a visual database, similar to Airtable, with read-write (configurable) access to your production database. It's used for operations.
