Glide turns spreadsheets into beautiful, intelligent apps.
Glide is a web-based app builder that allows non-programmers to quickly create powerful and beautiful internal business apps by starting from scratch, starting with a prompt, or starting with a spreadsheet. For 30 years, app development had barely changed. When Glide launched, we brought app development out of the Dark Ages, making it web-based, collaborative, accessible, and fun. Today, the influence of AI on coding has propelled app development even further. And Glide has risen to the occasion. The next generation of Glide gives users an AI-first method for building internal business software without worrying about granular-level control, security, authentication, database infrastructure, or deployment woes. Our mission is to become the operating system for your business by helping you turn all of your operational spreadsheets and data into beautiful, intelligent apps. We're three technical founders with expertise in native mobile frameworks, developer tools, and product design. We've worked together for 5-10 years, and were all early employees at Xamarin, a mobile developer tools startup acquired by Microsoft in 2016.
Glide is a no-code platform that lets businesses build custom, AI-powered apps from spreadsheets with real-time data syncing and a visual editor. It emphasizes turning data into app workflows quickly, with AI features and various industry use cases. The product targets teams needing customized internal apps without coding.
Users upload or connect data sources (e.g., Google Sheets, SQL, CRMs, ERPs) and build apps through a spreadsheet-like interface with pre-built components (forms, calendars, charts). It supports real-time data sync, role-based access, responsive cross-device apps, and AI features to generate content, extract data, and automate tasks. The platform provides workflow creation with triggers (emails, webhooks, schedules), conditional routing, and AI-enhanced automations, plus a library of industry templates (inventory, logistics, procurement, vendor management, warehouse management). Glide also offers GlideOS for AI-era capabilities and professional services to build apps in weeks via Glide Solutions.
Who it’s for: Businesses and teams that rely on spreadsheets as a core data source and need custom internal apps to automate workflows, dashboards, and operations across departments such as inventory, logistics, procurement, vendor management, and warehousing.
