Say hello to GlideOS (and our CEO, @dvdsgl!)
GlideOS is an all-new version of Glide, built for professionals looking to deploy custom AI solutions at work.
GlideOS is an even more powerful tool for turning operational spreadsheets into apps, thanks to advancements in AI. We’ve introduced an AI-powered technique we call ‘SheetSense’, which can analyze your spreadsheet’s formulas, macros, charts, visuals and more, and turn it into software with no further context or prompting required. Just upload a spreadsheet (the bigger the better) and watch the magic happen.
GlideOS is also exceedingly fast. It takes, on average, 4m 56s to build an app, so users can ship new software fast, often, and securely. Adding features, modifying the design, and otherwise iterating on the software you built is even faster. What used to take you a month or more to build with no-code tools now takes an hour or less with GlideOS.
The best software in the world is built by the people closest to the problems. The next great piece of software deployed at your company could be built by you and your team... so ask yourself this:
“What is my hair-on-fire problem at work?”
Then come solve it with GlideOS. Sign up for free at glideapps.com/new

Got a spreadsheet that should really be an app? @glideapps turns your data into business apps with AI features, no code needed, and there's a free tier. Our verdict: aiagentideas.ai/tool/glide/
🔥 New: Data Triggers - a powerful way to start an automation.
When your data changes in your apps — for example, when your stock count increments — you may want your software to take action on its own, like sending an email to customers who had that SKU on their wishlist.
Now, with the new Data Trigger function in workflows, you can automate a process to trigger when any of your data changes.
All you need to do to create these workflows is ask the agent.
Watch @jackmsvaughan break it down in this quick clip.
Now you can build software in Claude without having to worry about databases, authentication, security, etc.
Just pick your model of choice, add Glide as a connector, and start solving your business problems without spending Glide credits.

Do you use @claudeai or @ChatGPT?
Now you can build Glide apps right from the prompt box of your favourite AI provider.
Quick and easy setup: glideapps.com/docs/os/mcp
Already paying for @claudeai or @ChatGPT? No need to pay for AI twice.
AI runs on “tokens” (little chunks of words). Tokens cost money. Most tools wrap them up as “credits” and sell them to you — Glide included.
But if you’ve got Claude, Codex, or Cursor, you’re already sitting on a monthly stash of tokens... tokens you can use instead of paying for Glide credits. 😏
That is thanks to MCP: a universal plug that lets your AI assistant of choice work inside other tools. Hook Glide up to Claude, ask it to build or tweak your app, and it happens right in your chat.
The AI work runs on your plan, not on Glide credits. And you get full authority to pick whichever model you prefer. Try building with Fable or Astra, then compare them to Haiku or Luna.
Your AI. Your tokens. Glide as the platform to host and deploy your apps.
Glide MCP is available on Pro and Enterprise plans and takes two minutes to set up: glideapps.com/docs/os/mcp
"I have no idea what an MCP is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask."
If this resonates, you're not alone. While the acronym MCP has been floating around for some time, it's still an obscure concept for many.
Luckily, one of @jackmsvaughan's superpowers is turning complicated technical concepts into approachable, easy-to-understand ones.
He's here to help you grasp MCP (Model Context Protocol), how it works, and why it matters.

New AI case study series: real business projects and their stack.
safety4you (Austrian rail ops) booked cars on a whiteboard. Alexander Stadlmair rebuilt it in @glideapps.
His figures: ~€25k/yr saved on mechanic invoices, ~700 back-office hours/yr.

At @glideapps, bugs, security, code health, reliability, and architecture of our platform are all handled by multi-agent, long-horizon loops with minimal human in the loop. The traditional engineering toil is being abstracted away from engineers, allowing them to focus on product solutions to a stated problem. Here lies the rub. This is not an engineering role. This is what product managers have been doing for years.

Panoramic photos are amazing, but without a proper viewer, their potential isn’t fully unlocked.
So I built one using @glideapps while laying in bed this morning.
NEW: Federated search in your GlideOS org 🔍
Click the magnifying glass at the top left of the screen - or use CMD+K (Mac) or CTRL+K (PC) - to quickly open the search box and find exactly what you're looking for in a split second.
Once you've entered your search parameters, you can filter by Chats, Projects, or Apps to narrow it down. Watch the quick demo below for a complete run-through.

At Glide, we've always had a soft spot for dirty jobs because they’re often the last places technology reaches. And it doesn't get much dirtier than this one...
Connect your real business data from the start 🔌
Recently, we launched the mockup step, which gives you a quick look and some light control over your app's design before you actually go to build.
We've just improved the mockup step by letting you connect your real business data first.
Now, when you start a new app, Glide asks you to connect your live data sources before drawing the first mockup. The result is a mockup built on your actual columns and rows, not placeholder data.
Turn your feature roadmap into action items for Glide.
Queue up your requests, and the agent will go through them in order. So next time you're about to take a lunch break, load your feature roadmap into the queue before you go. You'll be rewarded upon return.
MCP Server renamed to "Agents" in GlideOS Settings
The "MCP Server" settings page is now called "Agents" and has been redesigned. To connect your own @claudeai, @ChatGPT or other LLM subscription to Glide, visit the new Agents tab in your settings.
