Tables & field types — AI fields: a column a model writes

An AI field is a column a model writes for you. You give the field an instruction once, and it applies to every record — “In one line, is this project on track? Status {{record.status}}, {{record.openTasks}} open tasks.” The {{record.something}} bits pull in that record's own values. They are the same tokens automations use, so a linked record arrives as its name rather than an internal id, and you can reach through a link with a dot — {{record.company.region}}. The field editor lists your fields as buttons; clicking one inserts the right token, so there is nothing to memorise. Nothing happens until you ask Cells stay empty until you fill them. That is deliberate — it means opening a big table never quietly spends your AI allowance. • One cell: hover it and click the ✦. • Many at once: tick the rows, then Fill with AI in the bar at the bottom. It tells you how many cells it will write before it writes any, then runs in the background — the rows fill in as they finish, and you get a notification at the end. Up to 500 rows per run; filter the view down if you need more.
