What I would to see improved in Airtable is a chat feature. I really want to see a scenario where collaborators working on a project could easily chat, asking questions and discussing changes immediately on the project.

One area of Airtable that I think could be improved is the automation aspect, which is vast but limited compared to tools such as GoHighLevel, where multiple triggers can be utilized.
