QUESTION FOR BUILDERS: Where does your workflow context live today, and what breaks first when you try to reuse it or hand it to someone else? I am especially interested in cases where the workflow works for you personally, but would be fragile for a team. PROBLEM: Folder-based AI workflows work well when one person understands the context. They run into challenges when you add collaborators and when the context becomes stale, scattered, unowned, or difficult to hand off. SOLUTION: My idea is to use Airtable as an ICM context registry that helps AI & automation workflows access context that's approved, current, and usable, without copying every source doc into Airtable. Canonical files stay in source systems / formats, i.e. markdown folders, Git repos, Google Docs, Drive, CRMs. Airtable tracks the operational layer around them: - pointer to the canonical source - owner - freshness or expiry status - approved context packs - review or readiness gates - workflow run evidence - source improvement requests when something is stale, missing, or conflicting - Airtable AI automation steps and field agents help classify, summarize, route, or draft context updates (review-gated) BENEFITS: - Teams can see which context is safe to use without digging through every folder or doc. - Source files stay canonical, so Airtable does not become a duplicate source of truth. - Context gets an owner and review cadence instead of quietly going stale. - Workflows can be blocked or flagged when required context is expired, missing, or conflicting (enforce at code / automation level). - Run logs create evidence of what context was used for a workflow output. - Source improvement requests create a feedback loop: when the workflow breaks, the source can improve instead of only patching the output. - Non-technical collaborators can participate through Airtable interfaces without needing to understand the whole file structure. WHY AIRTABLE? I'm a certified Airtable builder, so it's a natural choice for me. It's a strong place to track ownership, freshness, approval status, workflow usage, and follow-up requests. Airtable can provide:

Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it.
