As the parent comment says, LLMs are very good at giving plausible answers. Without checking each cell, then the data you eventually output becomes suspect. We've been trying to solve this problem at Leaptable (https://leaptable.co/). The crux is that while LLMs are still a black box, transparency in the way AI Agents interact with LLMs is key. For instance, seeing the outputs of each step in a chain-of-thought sequence helps debug common fallacies in the way the LLMs reason and built trust. https://github.com/peterwnjenga/leaptable

Here's the short answer - Retool - Anvil - Bubble - Airtable - Webflow The reality is that you shouldn't be turned away from these tools simply because of the negative developer perspective they tend to have, but you should consider the practicality of your situation. What matters is that you are aware that these platforms have limitations, and that you solve the inherent business problem you are seeking to solve immediately. Additionally, always have a plan to eventually migrate out if the platform if the situation warrants it. What I find paradoxical is that we SW engineers tend to neg on low-code tools, yet proclaim that code is simply a means to a business problem. We enjoy coding new projects, and hate integrating or migrating off shityly built applications. The practical reality is that whether it's code you wrote or a no-

code platform, getting your tool to work in the 99th percentile is always going to be the hardest part of the problem. In this case, using a no-code platform whose inner workings are obscured away from your is just as challenging as working with an arcane internal application whose original developers left the company a long time ago. Disclaimer - I'm building Leaptable - a Low-code database powered by AI Agents. It's still not ready for prime-time and would love your feedback. https://github.com/peterwnjenga/leaptable

This is very cool and I can see how it'd be helpful for users. How did you arrive at this feature? Slash command's discoverability is key. The commands serve as documentation and hints. Additionally, love the fact that users can create customized commands as shortcuts for frequent workflows or other logic. Reduces repetitive clicking/navigating. As the builder of LeapTable (https://github.com/peterwnjenga/leaptable), an open-source low-code database powered by AI agents, one of the first pieces of feedback I received from early users was the desire for slash commands similar to Notion. After evaluating different options, I settled on incorporating PlateJS (https://platejs.org/docs/mention) to enable @mention-style slash commands in LeapTable's React-based interface. PlateJS proved to be a great fit for easily bringing robust slash command

capabilities into our webapp. The @mention commands allow for convenient execution of actions, integration with external services, and automation workflows. For any other React developers looking to incorporate flexible, Notion-style slash commands into their webapps, I highly recommend checking out PlateJS. It provided the perfect building block for enabling rich slash command interactions in LeapTable.
