What it is
Glide is a web platform for building internal business apps, with GlideOS as its standalone AI development product. GlideOS can read a spreadsheet’s structure, data, relationships and logic to help create screens and workflows, or build software from a conversational description without code. Apps can add AI chat, summarization, image generation and other AI functions. Workflows automate repetitive tasks using user-defined rules, while real-time data questions can address topics such as spending by zone. The platform connects with more than 1,000 services, including Gmail, Slack, Airtable, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Supabase, Notion and HubSpot. Access controls include granular permissions, row ownership and private-by-default apps. Glide states SOC 2 Type 2 certification, GDPR compliance and AES-256 encryption. Apps are browser-based Progressive Web Apps, not direct Google Play or App Store publications. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $25.00 per month.
