Airtable, without opening the base.
Ask for the records, add the rows, update the fields. Cedric proposes each change to the base and waits for your yes.

- Airtable holds the team's working data, and the usual question is which records match.
- Ask in plain words: the records where a field has a value, a view sorted or filtered as you like, a formula match.
- Cedric creates records one at a time or in bulk, updates field values, and posts a comment on the record it changed.
- It can extend the base itself, adding a table or a field, when the structure needs to grow.
- Deleting records and changing table structure wait for your yes, and the connection has only the permissions granted at sign-in.
What can an Airtable AI agent do?
Most of what a team wants from Airtable is a lookup: which suppliers renew this quarter, which candidates are still in review, which rows have an empty owner. An Airtable AI agent answers those from the conversation. Cedric lists the bases the connected account can access, inspects their tables, fields and views, reads records from any table as a filtered, sorted or paged subset, and searches for records matching specific field values or a formula.
The other half is keeping the base current without opening it. Cedric creates new records, adds rows in bulk when a list arrives in the thread, and updates or replaces field values on records that already exist. It reads the comments on a record and posts new ones, so a change carries its reason. Each write comes back as a proposal first, which is what makes an operations assistant usable on a base the whole team depends on.
It can also change the shape of the base. When a process gains a step, Cedric can create a table or add and modify fields to hold it, and it can delete records you no longer need. Both are confirmed before they run. Access follows the permissions granted at sign-in, and Airtable's per-base rate limits apply as they would to any integration.
The renewal sweep
Seven records found, seven records flagged, one yes.

@Cedric in the Vendors base, find every row in Contracts with a Renewal date before 31 October and Status still Active, and set their Status to Review.
CedricAPP9:15 AM
Found 7 records in Contracts with Renewal date before 31 October and Status Active: Nordlicht Print, Baxter Logistics, Ferro Packaging and four more. Proposed: set Status to Review on all 7 and post a comment on each: flagged for renewal review, 4 September. No other field changes.
Looked up
Records from any table, filtered, sorted or paged, or matched on a field value or a formula.
Written
New records singly or in bulk, field values updated or replaced, a comment posted on the record: proposed first, saved on your yes.
Extended
A new table or field when the base needs to hold something it did not before, confirmed before it is created.
Connect Airtable in a minute
No setup project, no workflow builder, no field mapping. The flow is the same for every tool Cedric connects to.
- 01
Install Cedric where your team talks
One click. It joins your Slack like any other member, and everyone shares the same Cedric.
- 02
Connect Airtable from the dashboard
Open the Integrations page and sign in with Airtable on its own screen. Cedric never sees or stores your password, and you can revoke the connection in one click at any time.
A fresh connection can look but not touch: read-only until you say otherwise.
- 03
Ask in plain words
Back in the channel, try it: "list the bases I can access and their tables". You describe the outcome; Cedric picks the Airtable actions the ask needs. There is nothing to configure.
Connect for the whole workspace so the team shares it, or keep the connection personal. Two accounts are fine too; each gets a short name.
- 04
Let it become routine
Schedule the recurring version of the ask, and let Cedric fold Airtable into bigger jobs that cross your other tools. Anything that would leave your workspace still comes back as a preview to approve first.
Better in company
A list that starts in Google Sheets can be added to an Airtable table as rows in one ask, and a page in Notion can summarize what a view now holds. Cedric reads both sides, so the base stops being a copy nobody trusts.
When a record needs a person, the next step usually lives in Gmail or Google Calendar: flag the record, draft the email to the supplier, put the review on the calendar, all from one thread and each on your yes.
Where the limits are
Airtable is a catalog connection, not a built-in playbook. Cedric works from what the Airtable connection can read and do; ask in plain words and it says what it can reach there, and what it cannot.
Airtable's own limits apply. Requests are rate limited per base, so a very large read is paged rather than pulled in one go, and some actions depend on the permissions granted at sign-in.
Deleting records and changing structure are deliberate acts. Cedric can delete records and add or modify tables and fields, and asks every time before either.
Cedric sees what the Airtable connection grants and nothing more. Access is scoped, logged, and revocable from the dashboard, effective immediately.
Nothing sends itself. An email, a post, a change to a record: anything with consequences comes back as a preview for a human yes. That is the design, not a beta caveat.
FAQ
Yes. Airtable is one of the 3,200+ apps in Cedric's catalog: connect it once from the dashboard, on Airtable's own sign-in screen, and ask in plain words. There is no built-in playbook for it, so Cedric works from what the connection can read and do, and tells you when something is out of reach.
No. Your automations keep running. Cedric works from the conversation: it reads the base, proposes a record change and saves it when you say yes, the way a colleague with the same permissions would.
It sees the bases the connected account can access, with the permissions granted at sign-in, and no more. Connect it for the team and everyone shares that view; keep it personal and only you do.
Connect it for the whole workspace and everyone shares it, with one person authorising once. A connection you would rather not share, a personal inbox for instance, can stay personal to you.
Yes, and it starts that way: a fresh connection can look but not touch until you say otherwise. Even with write access granted, anything that changes or sends waits for an approval.
