Home
Home is where you create and access projects, invite team members, update account settings, manage billing, and more. From here, you can orchestrate GlideOS across your organization.
Chat with GlideOS
Start working with GlideOS directly from the home screen. Give GlideOS context, and it will help you work.
When you create a new app from the home screen, GlideOS automatically creates a Project for it. To work in an existing project, make sure you direct GlideOS to work there in your first message.
Prompt Box
Type or dictate an input that explains what you want to do. A good first prompt contains detailed context about the task you want the agent to complete. For example, if the task is to build an app, the first prompt should include who the app is for, what it should help users do, what information the app should use, and what features are essential.

Attach a Spreadsheet
If you have existing data to incorporate, upload CSV or Microsoft Excel files, or connect to Google Sheets.
Upload a File
Click the sign at the bottom left corner of the prompt box to upload files. GlideOS can read and work with text files (including markdown), JSON, images, and PDFs.
Choose a Mode
Select whether to use a light, balanced, or heavy AI model. You can switch between them at any time during a single chat session. The mode you select will apply to new messages until you change it again.


Light is best for fast, simple work.
Balanced is the recommended default, providing a balance between credit consumption and performance.
Heavy is for the most complex work tasks, analysis, and testing. It will consume credits faster than the other modes.
