Hi there,
Today's edition is sponsored by Pave by Quickbase, and it tackles a problem you've probably lived with: the critical process that runs on a spreadsheet nobody wants to touch.
You know the setup. A spreadsheet three people edit. A text thread nobody can search. An inbox where approvals disappear. It holds together because someone holds it together.
Meet Pave, Quickbase's AI app builder. Describe the work in plain English, and Pave builds a real app: the data, the roles, the workflows and the hosting. No developer, no ticket, no waiting.
Here's a real prompt from Pave's demo: "Build a project intake tracker for new requests, pending review and unassigned work." Pave came back with an intake app, a dashboard and an approval workflow, and started building.
Why it's worth a look:
✅ Approvals that don't vanish. Describe a two-step sign-off once, and nothing sits approved without an owner.
🔌 Connected from day one. Pave plugs into Salesforce, NetSuite, Slack, Workday and 350+ native connectors, so data moves on its own instead of getting copy-pasted between tabs.
🔒 IT can say yes. Permissions ship with every app, and your data never trains the AI.
Pave runs on the Quickbase platform: 5,000+ companies, 25+ years in operations. And one managing director of quality systems says they built three apps in about 10 hours, between meetings.
Free to start. No credit card required.
