Retable, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Retable account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Retable is

Retable is a collaborative spreadsheet and database platform for organizing workspaces, projects, tables, columns, rows, and files.

You paste in a key from your own Retable account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Retable whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Retable.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Retable. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Retable account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

11 tools it already has

What it can do in Retable

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Retable. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Add ColumnsAppend one or more typed columns to a table and return the complete resulting column list.
  • Delete ColumnsPermanently delete one or more columns and their cell data, then return the complete remaining column list.
  • Delete RowsPermanently delete one or more rows from a table; missing row IDs are ignored and count as zero deletions.

  • List Workspace ProjectsList projects accessible in one workspace, including project IDs needed to discover tables.
  • List WorkspacesList workspaces visible to the connected Retable account, including each workspace ID needed to discover projects.
  • Search RowsSearch a table for a value in a primary column and return matching rows from an optional starting offset. For text columns, Retable matches the full cell value rather than partial
  • Update RowsUpdate cells in one or more existing rows in one request and return the updated row IDs.
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Retable account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own Retable account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in Retable is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Retable and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about Retable

Can an AI employee really work inside Retable?
Yes. It signs in to your own Retable account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of Retable?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Retable, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Retable account?
You paste in a key from your own Retable account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Retable whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Retable?
It has 11 ready-made tools in Retable today, among them Add Columns, Delete Columns and Delete Rows. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Retable and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Retable and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in Retable?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Retable is written down with what it did and when.
