FAQ

Common questions

Yes, but it requires building your own base with custom fields, views, and automations. Most people spend 5-10 hours setting it up, then realise they need features (AI meeting prep, voice notes, org mapping) that Airtable doesn't offer. Orvo provides these out of the box.

No, and that's by design. Orvo is purpose-built for stakeholder management with the right fields and features pre-configured. If you need a general-purpose database, Airtable is the better choice. If you need relationship intelligence, Orvo is.
