# Helm CRM Overview

> Airtable-style bases, tables, views, and records — with an AI builder that does the setup for you

Helm is Sontairo's CRM and structured-data product. It works like a spreadsheet-database hybrid: you organize data into **bases**, each base holds **tables**, each table has typed **fields**, **views**, and **records**. Use it for contacts, deals, applicant tracking, content calendars — anything that lives in rows.

<Info>
  Helm CRM is a **paid monthly add-on** and is included on **Ultra** and **Enterprise** plans. See [Plans & Pricing](/billing/plans). Access is account-wide: one active CRM add-on covers your whole workspace.

## The building blocks

| Concept    | What it is                                                                                                                                                        |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Base**   | A container for related tables — one base per domain (e.g. "Sales CRM")                                                                                           |
| **Table**  | A collection of records with a shared set of fields                                                                                                               |
| **Field**  | A typed column: text, number, currency, date, checkbox, single/multi select, email, URL, phone, attachment, linked record, rating, duration, autonumber, and more |
| **View**   | A saved lens on a table — grid, kanban, calendar, or gallery — with its own filters, sorts, grouping, hidden fields, and row height                               |
| **Record** | A single row of data                                                                                                                                              |

**Linked records** connect tables to each other — link a deal to a company, an applicant to a role — and every change to a record is tracked in a revision history.

## The AI builder

You don't have to design your base by hand. Open the **Helm Builder** chat and describe what you need — it creates bases, tables, fields, and views, and can seed sample records so you can see the structure working immediately.

The builder can also scaffold complete starter templates, such as a **Real estate CRM**, an **Applicant tracker**, or a **Content calendar**, each with multiple linked tables and sample data.

<Tip>
  The builder makes changes for you rather than describing them — ask for "a pipeline table with stages and a kanban view" and it appears in your base. It will not delete your data; deletions stay in your hands in the UI.
