Teachable Machine is a free, web-based tool from Google Creative Lab that lets anyone train machine learning classification models for images, sounds, or body poses by uploading or capturing examples — no coding or ML expertise required. It's aimed at educators, students, artists, makers, and beginner developers who want to prototype ML quickly, and its key differentiator is that everything runs in the browser with instant real-time testing and one-click model export to TensorFlow.js, TensorFlow Lite, and Coral EdgeTPU. It is not built for large-scale, production-grade, or highly customized ML work.

Airtable is the connected app platform used by 500,000+ organizations. Combine the flexibility of a database with the simplicity of a spreadsheet, then layer automations, AI, and custom interfaces to build exactly what your team needs.
