What it is
Glide is a web platform for building internal business apps, with GlideOS as its standalone AI software-development product. GlideOS can read a spreadsheet’s structure, data, relationships, and logic to help create screens and workflows, or users can describe a business problem conversationally and build without code. Apps can add AI chat, summarization, image generation, and other described functions. Workflows automate repetitive operations from user-defined rules, and the platform answers questions about business data in real time. GlideOS connects with more than 1,000 services, including Gmail, Slack, Airtable, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Supabase, Notion, and HubSpot; incoming integration events can trigger workflows. Access controls include row ownership and granular permissions, with apps private by default. Glide states SOC 2 Type 2 certification, GDPR compliance, and AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest. Apps are browser-based Progressive Web Apps and cannot publish directly to Google Play or Apple’s App Store. Plans start at $25.00 per month after the free plan.
