Turing x Airtable: Build at the Edge. Govern at the Center.

​About Event

​Join Zack Ridenour, AI-Native GTM Lead at Airtable for a session on how AI-native teams can build at the speed of AI without giving up control of their data. Vibe coding and AI builders have made it possible for anyone to ship an app in an afternoon, but every one of those apps still has a front end, a logic layer, and a database, and in most companies nobody owns any of them. The result is operational fog: strategy in one place, execution everywhere else, and customer data copied into tools IT has never seen.

​You’ll see how Airtable works as a model-agnostic data layer underneath whatever AI tools your teams choose: one linked, permissioned source of truth that any model can read from and build on through MCP, acting as the signed-in user, with every change in the audit log from minute one. The models will keep changing. The data stays put, inside IT’s permissions and backups, never copied out and never used for training.

​In this session, you’ll learn how to:

​• Separate the layer that lasts (your operational data) from the layer that will change (the model), so you can switch AI tools without rebuilding anything.

​• Let your team prompt in the AI tools they already like while every app they build lands inside a governed data layer with field-level permissions, logged runs, and admin-approved models.

​• Start with a first use case in RevOps, Product Ops, or Marketing Ops that proves the pattern in weeks and becomes the shared context every future agent works from.
