Airtable

Summary
Airtable is a low-code platform that enables users to build custom business applications and automate workflows. It provides tools for designing interfaces, integrating with various data sources and applications, and leveraging AI for enhanced operations. The platform is designed for teams and organizations to manage and scale their data and processes securely.
Rationale
Airtable is a low-code platform for building custom business applications, aligning well with the core concept. It explicitly mentions features like 'Interface Designer' (drag-and-drop UI), 'Integrations' (API & Database Integrations), 'Scripting' (code customization), 'Governance and Scale' (access control & security), 'Automations' (workflow automation), 'AI' (AI-generated app assistant), 'Portals' (partner portals), and mobile app availability. While it doesn't explicitly state 'Flexible Deployments' in the same way Retool does (e.g., VPC, Docker), it does offer enterprise-grade scaling and management, which implies some level of deployment flexibility for large organizations. Debugging tools are implied through its automation and app building capabilities, and prebuilt components are evident in its Interface Designer and templates. Custom theming is also mentioned under 'Organization branding'.
