Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.

◆Current state
Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.
◆Where it's heading
Teable is making its agent-facing pieces (queries, CLI, Routines) consistent with the rest of the product: query expressions now reuse formula syntax, and CLI commands are regrouped with old ones deprecated. Templates with guided setup point toward packaging finished apps for others to install.
◆Prediction
Expect the deprecated standalone CLI commands to be removed in the next release, as announced, and more template and app-sharing features built on the new guides.

◆Recent moves

    Template Get Started guides, formula metrics, CLI artifact sharing

    Templates gain interactive Get Started guides, structured queries switch to formula syntax with per-metric filters, and artifacts can be shared by link from the CLI. The default Routine concurrency drops from 10 to 5 per space, so large batches will run slower unless an admin raises it.

    Filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions

    Filter-based updates set the same values on every record matching a filter at run time, and default Pi sessions can now run structured list, aggregation and time-grouped queries. It extends last week's query tooling from MCP to Teable's own agent.

    MCP query-data tool for records without SQL

    A read-only MCP tool lets AI assistants filter, group and aggregate records without SQL, following existing access controls. It pairs with this week's impact previews in making Teable safer to expose to agents.

    DATETIME_DIFF counts whole days, DST-safe

    DATETIME_DIFF in days now returns whole elapsed days in the formula's time zone, avoiding daylight-saving off-by-one errors, and copying across time zones preserves dates. Existing formulas can keep fractions with a fourth argument.

    CLI and AI fields use correct time zones and resolve by name

    Formulas created by the CLI or AI inherit the time zones of referenced date fields, and lookups resolve linked tables by name with clear errors before changes. It makes agent-built schemas less error-prone.
