GlideOS is publicly available! Hear from Glide’s CEO, CTO, and Principal Product Manager all about the platform and its capabilities
Today saw the official public launch of GlideOS, with a live event hosted on YouTube. Check out the event recording to meet some of the team, get in-depth details on the platform, and see real-world examples of how businesses are already running on GlideOS.
Highlights include:
- Glide’s CEO David Siegel spoke about the origin of Glide and the core ambition to “uplift everyday work” that is a throughline into the new GlideOS launch.
- CTO Shay Frendt spoke about agentic engineering and how it’s driven massive boosts in productivity in the development of GlideOS and its new features.
- Principal Product Manager Josh Johnson walked through all the new features being added to GlideOS in recent days, including an internal usage dashboard that businesses operating on GlideOS can use to understand their team’s current activity in Glide.
New GlideOS features
Here are some of the new features that have shipped since GlideOS entered public data, which are now fully available if you sign up.
App Store
The GlideOS App Store is now live. The app store is a library of pre-built apps covering a wide range of use cases and industries.
You can find the App Store on the left sidebar menu in your GlideOS dashboard. From there, you can browse the apps, and copy any app straight into your account. Using the app store is a great way to minimize credit usage when building common app types. Since you're copying existing app files instead of building from scratch, installing from the App Store uses next to no credits.
Some apps come bundled as a set. CableOS, for example, installs four interconnected apps into one folder, giving you a working system to enhance operations for cabling installs in data centers. Once installed, App Store apps work like any other app in your account. Edit the data, adjust the design, add features, or rebuild sections entirely. The install just gives you a head start.
GlideOS Workflows
GlideOS Workflows bring AI-generated automations to GlideOS. Ask GlideOS to build automations that make your apps run autonomously. Describe the process you want handled, and GlideOS turns it into a workflow that lives in your Project folder as an artifact.
Your GlideOS apps can now connect directly to the tools your business already runs on, with over 1,000 tools supported. Tell Glide what you need in plain language, like pulling customer records from Salesforce or sending a Slack message when a row updates. Glide matches the request to the right service and builds the connection into your app.
You can start a workflow in four different ways:
- Schedule
- Webhook
- Trigger
- Manual
A single workflow can support multiple triggers, each with its own on/off toggle, so you can turn one trigger off without affecting the rest.
Every workflow gets a screen in your project, which, when opened, lists each step in order with a plain sentence explaining what it does. You can also inspect your workflow runs, so you can see exactly what happened when a run doesn't go the way you expected. You can read the Workflow documentation here.
Integrations
Integrations in GlideOS let you connect Glide to over 1,000 tools. Tell GlideOS what you need in plain language, like pulling customer records from Salesforce or sending a Slack message when a row updates. Glide matches the request to the right service and builds the connection into your app. Release notes
You can connect to integrations in two ways:
From the project screen: select the plus sign next to Integrations, search for the service you need, and choose Connect.
From chat: describe the task, and if your project doesn't have that connection yet, GlideOS posts a card offering to set it up.
Every integration you connect shows up in the Integrations section of that project, marked Connected. Open it to refresh the connection or remove it.
You can use GlideOS Workflows & Integrations together to give you dramatically expanded capabilities. Workflows can now start from an integration event, or include integrations as part of workflow steps. Just chat with GlideOS to create workflows that use Integrations, or trigger off of them. It will walk you through the setup.
