Learn how to generate formulas with AI and configure AI in Baserow.

Enhance customer insights

Knowing your customers better than your competitors gives you a huge advantage. Imagine being able to target your marketing campaigns to the exact type of customer who is most likely to buy your product. This can dramatically increase your sales and improve customer satisfaction. This is where Baserow formulas come in.

Here’s how Baserow formulas can help you gain powerful customer insights:

1. Gather all your customer data: Create a central location for all your customer information. This table will include details like their purchase history, any feedback they’ve provided, and even basic demographics.

2. Unlock hidden insights with formulas: Baserow formulas can reveal hidden patterns in your data. For example, you can create a formula to calculate a customer’s lifetime value (CLV), which tells you how much money they are likely to spend with your business over time. Another formula could show you how often a customer typically makes purchases.

   AI prompt examples:

   • “Calculate a customer’s lifetime value (CLV) by summing all their purchases and multiplying by their average purchase frequency.”
   • "Identify high-value customers by determining if their total spend exceeds a specific amount.”
   • "Calculate the average order value (AOV) for each customer by dividing their total spend by the number of orders.”
   • "Segment customers based on their total spend and purchase frequency to identify VIPs and regular customers.”
   • “Measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns by calculating the return on investment (ROI) for each campaign.”

3. Turn data into action: Once you have these insights, you can use them to make smarter decisions. You can create a view in Baserow that filters and sorts your customers based on their calculated values or purchase frequency. This allows you to easily identify your most valuable customers and tailor your marketing efforts to reach them. You can also use this information to spot trends in your customer base, helping you adapt your business strategy for even greater success.

Streamline project management

Keeping your projects organized is key to finishing them on time and under budget. With Baserow AI, you can streamline project workflows, predict potential delays, stay on top of tasks, and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

Here’s how it works:

1. Set up your project: Baserow lets you create a custom table for each project. You can add fields for project-related data, such as task names, due dates, project status, and who’s assigned to each task.

2. Add AI field: Use the AI field to predict potential project delays or resource bottlenecks.

3. Never miss a deadline: Using AI, you can automatically calculate project progress and resource utilization. This way, you can see which tasks need your attention the most.

   AI prompt examples:

   • "Create a formula to show the number of days left until the due date and apply conditional formatting to change text color based on urgency.”
   • "Create a formula to dynamically calculate and display due dates based on task creation date and priority level (high, medium, low).”
   • "Create a formula to categorize tasks as ‘Overdue’, ‘Due Today’, ‘Due Soon’, or ‘On Track’”
   • "Create a formula to alert if a task does not have a due date set.”

4. Stay on top of things: With Baserow, you can set up notifications to be sent straight to your email. This means you’ll always know when someone mentions you in a comment, invites you to a workspace, or assigns you a new task.

Optimize inventory management

Good inventory management means you’ll never be caught without what customers need, allowing you to fulfill their orders quickly and keep them happy. This can give you a big advantage over competitors and reduce carrying costs.

Here’s how Baserow can help:

1. Set up Your inventory table: Create a table to track your inventory. This table can include things like the product name, how much you have in stock (quantity), a minimum level you need to have on hand (reorder level), and information about your suppliers.

2. Add AI field: Use the AI field to predict stock levels and reorder points.

3. Never miss a reorder: Create formula fields to calculate inventory turnover rates and other relevant metrics.

   AI prompt examples:

   • "Create a formula that flags items with stock levels below a certain threshold. The formula should return ‘Low Stock’ if the item quantity is below 10 and ‘In Stock’ otherwise.”
   • "Develop a formula that indicates ‘Low Stock’ for any product where the current inventory is less than 5% of the maximum stock level. Assume the maximum stock level is recorded in a field named ‘Max Stock’.”
   • "Write a formula that compares the current stock quantity of items to a predefined reorder level and flags items as ‘Low Stock’ if the quantity is below the reorder level. The reorder level is specified in a field named ‘Reorder Point’.”

   • “Forecast future revenue by analyzing sales data, market trends, and customer behavior. Identify patterns and make accurate predictions.”
   • “What are the various growth strategies, risk mitigation tactics, and investment opportunities to ensure resilience and sustainability?”

3. Formula fields: Create formula fields to calculate profit margins, growth rates, and other key financial metrics.

   AI prompt examples:

   • “Calculate profit margins by subtracting total costs from total revenue, then dividing the result by total revenue to get the profit margin percentage.”
