What is Crust AI?

Crust AI is an AI-powered platform built specifically to extend the capabilities of Airtable, Notion, Monday.com and Google Sheets. It allows you to take data from your data source and instantly transform it into visually appealing, interactive, and live mini-applications called Snippets. Screenshot2025 05 05at10 29 22 Pn

Why Crust AI?

The Data Sharing Challenge
Airtable, Notion, Monday, and Google Sheets are fantastic tools for organizing and managing data internally. However, sharing specific, live data with people outside your immediate team – clients, vendors, external collaborators, or partners – can often be challenging.
  • Complexity for External Users: Inviting external users to your full data source can expose them to unnecessary complexity and potentially sensitive data.
  • Limited Control in Standard Shares: Standard share links or views offer limited control over what specific records or fields an external user can see and interact with.
  • Lack of Real‑time Interaction: Enabling external users to update data in the data source (e.g., marking a task complete, providing feedback) often requires complex workarounds or separate tools.
  • Unbranded Experience: Standard Airtable interfaces or data exports lack the professional, branded experience your clients might expect.

AI‑Powered Snippets

What are Snippets?
Snippets are the core output of Crust AI. They serve as dedicated, focused windows into specific parts of your data, designed for particular external audiences or use cases.
  • AI-Generated: Intelligent analysis of your data structure
  • Interactive: Enable viewing and updating of your data
  • Shareable: Unique URLs that work on any device
  • Connected: Real-time, two-way sync with your data source
💡 How It Works
Crust AI analyzes your data table structure (field types, names, relationships) to propose a functional and visually intuitive layout automatically. You then refine this layout and add custom logic or interactions using simple language prompts or straightforward configuration options.

​
Common Use Cases

  • Client Portals: Create custom dashboards or portals for your clients to view their specific projects, performance, or billing information directly through a self-serve interface.
  • External Communication: Share live data with partners, vendors, or stakeholders without granting them access to your entire data source data.
  • Internal Workflows: Build simple, mobile-friendly interfaces for teams needing quick access or input for specific tasks (e.g., field technicians checking inventory).
  • Branded Experiences: Deliver clean, polished interfaces that feel like custom-built applications, elevating your clients’ perception of your service.
