How we restructured Airtable's entire org for AI

Key takeaways

1. Liu split teams into "fast thinking" and "slow thinking" groups, inspired by Daniel Kahneman, so Airtable can ship AI features weekly.
2. Liu argues CEOs must become individual contributors again in the AI era, and that you may need to restructure your calendar to make room for it.
3. He uses AI hourly, not daily, and says he is Airtable's #1 inference-cost user globally.
4. Liu makes playing with AI tools mandatory, and tells employees to cancel all meetings for a week to experiment.
5. He warns that evals can kill innovation, and says there are times to rely on "vibes" instead.
