Unfortunately we are laying off most of the company that we think are totally useless. Look at the new features we can pump out without them.
But you should hire them because they’re great people and this is no indication of their work quality. But everything they built sucks ass look at how good my stuff is
Today we’re laying off a large part of the Airtable team.
This is not a reflection of their work but a reflection of our deep belief that small teams ship more and better.
For Airtable, better is about to look like:
- A new Core team shipping your top requests monthly (already 30+ shipped in 3 weeks)
- Upgraded Omni, Airtable Canvas, a stronger MCP, and BYO agents, coming soon
- New Performance and Infra teams focusing on speeding up bases and increasing limits on records, fields, and syncs
To everyone leaving: thank you. If you’re hiring, these are excellent people and worth a call.

A brutal postmortem from an early Airtable employee
You don’t often get this level of honesty from insiders
Many said it’s still a good outcome but they didn’t invest 8 years of their lives and dreams of something bigger
Say what you want about Bending Spoons, but at least their acquisitions stay alive.
Can’t say the same about the company they just acquired though 🥸
Selling to Bending Spoons to run @hyperagentapp is like pimping out your wife as Pablo Escobar’s toilet scrubber so you afford to pay for your college side piece’s Cayenne

Selling to Bending Spoons is an admission of defeat+wanting ANY kind of exit, knowing most staff will be let go after this
Airtable raised $1.4B in funding. This exit most certainly means investors get some investment back: founders maybe something. Employees likely wiped out…

Got to feel for any current and past Airtable employees. Especially current ones.
Bending Spoon’s playbook is to take over operations with their Italian / European team (operating at a fraction of the price), after handover let go most/all of existing staff.
Companies selling to Bendong Spoons know this playbook and they sell to get some kind of cash in return and walk away.
They do it when there’s no hope to turn the company around

The point most founders should take away from this is that a ~$500M ARR co with a great product and a ton of cash that’s only growing 20% is just not worth much.

Announcing OpenWorker! An open-source agent that doesn't just chat with you, but delivers finished work -- like hand you a polished document, send a slack message, or update a calendar entry.
Ask it to prepare a customer brief, untangle your calendar, draft a report, or triage a Slack alert. It works across your files and everyday tools, produces the deliverable, and checks in before doing anything consequential.
OpenWorker runs on your Mac, with Windows support coming soon. It does not lock you into any one model. Bring your own API key and run it with GPT 5.6 Sol, Claude Fable, Gemini 3.6, an open weight model (like Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Inkling), or Ollama to keep your data local. Your data does not leave your machine except through an LLM provider and integrations that you choose.
@rohitcprasad and I are building OpenWorker because AI coworkers are an important way to get work done, and we want there to be an open, privacy-preserving, model-independent option. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Try it out: openworker.com (requires your own API key)

In Claude Managed Agents, we’ve added multiagent orchestration, an outcomes loop for rubric-driven self-improvement, dreaming for self-learning, & webhooks.

Your ChatGPT Work agent can now use websites that require you to sign in.
Take over the cloud browser to log in, then let your agent continue the task. Your login persists across sessions, so you only have to sign in once.

Introducing ChatGPT Work, a new agent in ChatGPT powered by Codex and GPT-5.6.
It can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours if needed, and turn a goal into finished work.
It’s a whole new way to get work done.

We are committed to pushing the model frontier across cost efficiency, capability, and speed.
Starting today, we are reducing prices for GPT-5.6 Luna by 80% and GPT-5.6 Terra by 20% , and offering a faster option for GPT-5.6 Sol in the API.
Luna and Terra’s lower prices are reflected in how usage is counted in Codex and ChatGPT Work, so your usage goes further.

Claude Cowork is coming to mobile and web.
Hand Claude a task at your desk and pick up the finished work from your phone. Close the laptop and Claude keeps going.
Beta is rolling out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow.

I tested Airtable's @superagent with a tough prompt (compare the technical strategies of Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic)
It turned it into a polished, boardroom-ready report with an executive summary, key findings, a benchmark table, infrastructure and safety breakdowns, and a clean web layout.

🚀 @airtable launched a new AI product called @superagent that product managers are going to love. It uses a multi-agent system that conducts detailed research and analysis to create rich "Super Reports" for product strategies, competitive analyses, and more!
✨ Check out this demo video of me using it to create a polished Product Strategy Doc for a new product to compete with Productboard, Aha!, and JIRA Product Discovery.

THIS is how AI should be used:
Been solo managing the MUI Discord server for a couple months and it’s a goldmine of feedback but HELL to go through.
So I crawled our channels ➡️ fed them to @superagent ➡️ got a full report with GH issues and stats:
