Native Airtable

What each one does

macOS Calendar

  • Creates calendar events from natural language ("tomorrow at 2pm", "next Monday", "in 3 days")
  • Sets up recurring meetings (daily standups, weekly 1-on-1s, biweekly check-ins)
  • Adds reminders and alerts before events
  • Handles all-day events and blocks of time
  • Works with multiple calendars (personal, work, projects)

Native Airtable

  • Reads records from any Airtable base you grant access to
  • Filters records by status, date, or custom fields using Airtable formulas
  • Searches across tables by keyword or specific field values
  • Lists all bases and tables you have access to
  • Pulls specific records or views into your AI assistant's context
