What is Teable?

Teable adds Composio integration and Scheduled Routines, pivoting from spreadsheet to agentic workflow platform.

Teable has moved well past its initial positioning as an Airtable alternative. In the past week alone it shipped admin-configured AI model tiers, an AI-powered App Builder with preset prompts, Composio integration for hundreds of third-party apps, and Scheduled Routines for agent task automation. The product is now simultaneously a structured database, an AI chat interface, a scraping platform, and an automation hub.

What is Tella?

Tella adds a Free plan, redesigns the editor, and broadens distribution into Intercom and beyond.

Tella is in a sustained editor-polish-plus-distribution cycle. The big change: a Free plan now sits alongside Pro, paired with an in-product AI support assistant. The editor was redesigned with a left-side toolbar, lighter UI, and a new transcript sidebar. New layouts (50/50 split) and finer camera-bubble positioning (3×3 grid plus three sizes across orientations) give creators more compositional control. Distribution widens with an Intercom Help Center integration and a refreshed tella.com.

7.5

Teable adds Composio integration and Scheduled Routines, pivoting from spreadsheet to agentic workflow platform.

◆ Current state

Teable has moved well past its initial positioning as an Airtable alternative. In the past week alone it shipped admin-configured AI model tiers, an AI-powered App Builder with preset prompts, Composio integration for hundreds of third-party apps, and Scheduled Routines for agent task automation. The product is now simultaneously a structured database, an AI chat interface, a scraping platform, and an automation hub.

◆ Where it's heading

The Composio integration is the clearest directional signal: connecting to hundreds of OAuth apps turns Teable into a workflow automation competitor to Zapier and Make, not just a database tool. Combine that with Scheduled Routines (agent task scheduling with run history) and Admin AI model tiers (centralized model governance for multi-tenant deployments), and Teable is building the infrastructure for enterprise agentic workflows on top of a structured data layer.

◆ Prediction

Composio connection depth will expand rapidly — expect billing around automation runs and connected app counts within 2–3 months. The retired Gmail/Outlook native connections (replaced by IMAP) suggest Teable is offloading email infrastructure to focus on the higher-value workflow and AI layers.

6.3

Tella adds a Free plan, redesigns the editor, and broadens distribution into Intercom and beyond.

◆ Current state

Tella is in a sustained editor-polish-plus-distribution cycle. The big change: a Free plan now sits alongside Pro, paired with an in-product AI support assistant. The editor was redesigned with a left-side toolbar, lighter UI, and a new transcript sidebar. New layouts (50/50 split) and finer camera-bubble positioning (3×3 grid plus three sizes across orientations) give creators more compositional control. Distribution widens with an Intercom Help Center integration and a refreshed tella.com.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is leaning into accessible-funnel-plus-creative-control: lower the barrier to start (Free plan), make the editor look modern and inviting, and embed videos where customers already are (Intercom). View notification controls and webhook events for viewer activity hint at an upcoming push toward integration-ready video analytics.

◆ Prediction

Expect more distribution surfaces (Slack, Notion-style embeds beyond Intercom) and AI features beyond the support assistant — likely auto-chapters, B-roll generation, or transcript-driven editing. The Free plan likely drives an experimentation phase before the next pricing/packaging tightening.
