Softr, 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 Softr 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 Softr is

Build custom apps and portals from Airtable in minutes with no-code. Softr provides user management and database APIs for building client portals, internal tools, and web applications.

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

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Softr.

  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 Softr. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Softr 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.

Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Softr account.

  • 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 Softr 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 Softr

Can an AI employee really work inside Softr?
Yes. It signs in to your own Softr 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 Softr?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Softr, 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 Softr account?
You paste in a key from your own Softr account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Softr 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 Softr?
It has 22 ready-made tools in Softr today, among them Create Database, Create Record and Create Table. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Softr 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 Softr 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 Softr?
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 Softr is written down with what it did and when.
