It's springtime in Boston, which means warmer temps, longer days, and -- in the Quickbase office -- a growing excitement for Empower.

This year's conference focuses on the changing world of work and what it takes to build your next breakthrough. Here's a sneak peek at the product innovations we're unveiling at Empower 26 this May.

• A suite of sophisticated AI capabilities bundling together key Quickbase AI features you may be familiar with: AI App Intelligence, AI Actions, Data Analyzer, and of course, the Quickbase AI Agent. Next, we're adding two powerful new powerful capabilities to this bundle. First is the AI Control Center, which lets you manage which AI features are enabled on your account and select which users can access them. And coming soon is the AI Knowledge Layer, which you can use to help the model tune in to your team's processes by uploading core operational documents. Together, these AI capabilities help turn hours of effort into minutes of work while keeping you in control every step of the way.
• Intelligent tools for deskless workers expanding what's possible with FastField. Our FastField Pro plan already supports OCR for label scanning as well as AI-driven task generation. And now we're excited to announce two new additions: AI Photo Insights and Asset & Team Tracking. These capabilities allow you to streamline operations in the field by eliminating manual tasks and giving you real-time visibility into your entire operation. We'll also be adding two related features coming from our recent acquisition of Solvice: AI-driven task scheduling and route optimization.
• A bundle of powerful extensions that bring document creation, e-signatures, communications, and mapping capabilities to Quickbase. We've selected six of the most popular add-ons developed by the recently-acquired partner Juiced Technologies, and they all work together to deliver end-to-end business workflows -- right inside your Quickbase app. 
• A native application lifecycle management experience so you can build and deploy safely, scale confidently, and collaborate securely across all your most important Quickbase apps. This new capability is built on top of our powerful Solution APIs, providing an intuitive way to manage all your environments and deployments.
• A single, connected experience for support and guidance that's personalized to your needs, offering support, services, and product training. Whether you're brand new to the platform or you're an experienced hand who wants to become a Quickbase pro, our experts can give you what you need. We can coach you, providing a personalized program focused on getting you to the next step in your journey, with measurable outcomes.
• Our biggest AI announcement to date which you'll have to see to believe! We're going to put the future of work into your hands, bringing the next generation of innovation to your teams.

Plus, we'll show you many enhancements and quality-of-life improvements across the entire Quickbase ecosystem.
