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.

Plato ( https://plato.io ) is free for up to five users, then $20/user/month (Disclaimer: I'm a founder)

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 Benchl

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

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 S

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?

by mgummelt 3y ago
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&#x2

Cool. You might give our app, Plato, a shot as well. It gives you an Airtable-like UI on your database. https://plato.io

Agreed. So far, building macros ( https://www.plato.io/blog/introducing-macros ), we've found that if you provide an easy and immediate way to map program elements to their meaning, non-techies can understand pseudo

Founder of https://plato.io here. We support concurrent editing, so you see updates from your teammates in realtime, but we just haven't built a frontend for it yet, so you don't get the visual indicators a la Figma of

Mostly, yea. It's generated from the sequence of actions the user takes in the UI, with a little bit of inference so we can detect, for example, that a user actually is trying to update the first row in a filtered table, rather than a

We're not looking for partnerships right now, but message me and I'm happy to chat about visual programming. Max/MSP is the OG (though we of course are bullish on macros vs. flowcharts).

Definitely, though the semantics of field mappings often only exist in a user's head, so will need to be explicitly defined. English prompts will no doubt be a big part of Plato, though. We're still figuring out exactly where the

Shameless plug, but Plato ( https://plato.io ) is a PG frontend. Email me if you don't find what you need: mgummelt@plato.io.

We've run some experiments, and the answer is "sort of...sometimes...for some things". One of our customers, for instance, records macros that upload new users from their Plato tables into their Hubspot CRM, and doing that fi

Ah, this is an overloading of terms. Plato virtual columns are not computed columns. They're new storage.

by mgummelt 4y ago
Not at all :) Do you have a link or instructions on how to create virtual columns in Django Admin?

Gallery view? Where we're going, we won't need gallery view.

You're speaking my language. I think you'll love what we're cooking up. Stay tuned.

Yep, lots of users need on-prem/VPC deployment. It's next on the list. If you subscribe to our email list, you'll be the first to know when it's ready. In the meantime, we can set up an SSH tunnel for you if you email us

The user you're trying to connect with might not be configured in your DB. Want to shoot us a message over Intercom (in the bottom-right)? We can help debug.
