Customer Voices

Don't take our word for it. Here's what our customers say about us:

I have to write 20 analysis reports about start-ups per year. It took me up to one week for the 40 pages. With the new airtable AI fields, combined with DocsAutomator, I'm down at around 6 hours of work per report and saved me almost 700h per year.

Christoph Bernhard

Just getting started with DocsAutomator because the options within AirTable did not meet my needs. With always updating features and resources, this is quickly becoming the best extension you can choose.

Shannon Bradley

As a botanical garden operator staffed by volunteers, DocsAutomator has revolutionized our document generation process. This powerful tool seamlessly integrates with our Airtable databases, allowing us to effortlessly create a wide range of docs!

This is exactly what our company was looking for. It works fantastic, thank you!
