AirMap — Product Overview & Capabilities

AirMap is a lightweight, browser-based developer tool that gives teams a clear, visual and actionable understanding of their Airtable bases. It turns your schema into an interactive map—making it easier to explore structure, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with confidence. No data ever leaves the browser.

Why AirMap Exists

Airtable bases grow complex quickly. Links multiply. Lookups break. Teams inherit structures they didn’t design. Documentation goes stale.

AirMap solves that by giving you:

• A full visual map of every table and relationship
• Searchable field-level documentation
• Automated detection of schema issues
• AI-powered schema analysis
• Shareable, read-only schema viewers for clients or collaborators

All without syncing or storing your data on any server.

Key Capabilities

1. Schema Fetching (Secure & Local-Only)

AirMap retrieves only your schema—not your data. You can:

• Enter a Base ID + Airtable Personal Access Token to fetch a live schema
• Use demo mode instantly without creating an account
• Export or upload schema JSON files for offline viewing
• Keep everything local: API keys and schemas never leave your browser

This lets you explore real bases safely, even when working with sensitive datasets.

2. Table Relationship Map (ERD)

AirMap’s flagship feature is its dynamic Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD).

It provides:

• A visual overview of all tables and how they connect
• Expandable nodes showing field counts and relationship directions
• Clear separation of Parent Table Links vs Child Table Links
• Search for tables by name
• Layout controls (vertical / horizontal / grid toggle)
• Focus views showing only the most connected or relevant tables

This instantly surfaces complexity and makes onboarding or auditing far faster.

3. Field List & Schema Explorer

For deep inspection, AirMap includes a structured, searchable field explorer:

• Tables appear as collapsible sections with field counts
• Every field shows name, type, and relationship/meta info
• Global search filters fields across all tables
• One-click download of the complete schema JSON

This acts as lightweight documentation your team can rely on.

---

4. Bug Sniper — Schema Issue Detection

AirMap automatically scans your schema for issues that are easy to miss inside Airtable itself.

Examples include:

• Lookup fields pulling multiple values
• Broken references
• Invalid formulas
• Misconfigured relationships

Each issue provides:

• A human-readable explanation
• A direct link to open the field in Airtable
• The ability to refresh the schema after fixing

Bug Sniper is the quickest way to clean up inherited bases or validate changes before rollout.

5. AI-Powered Schema Analysis (Gemini Integration)

AirMap integrates with Google Gemini for optional deeper insights.

Users can:

• Provide a Gemini API key (stored locally)
• Run high-level analysis on the schema
• Customise prompts for documentation, optimisation or modelling guidance

Common uses:

• “Explain how this base is structured.”
• “Suggest ways to simplify this schema.”
• “Identify potential normalisation issues.”

This turns your schema into an intelligent conversation starter.

---

6. Public Schema Viewer (Shareable ERDs)

AirMap includes a standalone viewer that works with schema JSON files.

This allows:

• Clients or collaborators to explore your schema without Airtable access
• Sharing visual documentation during onboarding, handovers, or audits
• Embedding schema snapshots in wikis or internal docs

Just upload a JSON file and the ERD appears instantly—no auth required.

---

7. Privacy & Security by Design

AirMap is architected for local-only processing:

• API keys stay in the browser
• Schemas are stored locally
• Nothing is uploaded or persisted in the cloud
• No tracking or background syncing

This makes it safe for teams dealing with sensitive or proprietary Airtable bases.
