You can start your first app from a spreadsheet or from a prompt.
When you create an app, GlideOS creates a project for it. A project is where your app, chats, files, and data live together. When your app needs data, GlideOS creates a database for the project automatically.
That means GlideOS is not just making screens. It can help create the app people use, the information behind it, and the logic that connects everything together.
If you are having issues logging in from the waitlist invitation email, make sure you are using the same email address in GlideOS that you used for the waitlist.
Spreadsheets are a strong starting point because they already contain the structure, data, and business knowledge your app needs.
A good first prompt says who the app is for, what it should help them do, and what information it should use.
Example:
Use the information in this spreadsheet to create an app that my manufacturing line operators can use to log downtime events. Include a dashboard that helps us spot downtime trends and primary causes.
After you start, you land in a project workspace. From there you can:
Your first app does not have to be the only app in the project. Later, you can build more apps in the same project that use the same project database.
We recommend keeping apps small and targeted to a use case. For example, one project could have an app for entering information, another app for reviewing it, and a dashboard for understanding trends. This can be much easier than building and maintaining one large app that does it all.
Include the goal, the people who will use it, and the information the app should show.
You can start rough. It is normal to say things like “make this easier to use,” “add a dashboard,” or “use the spreadsheet I uploaded.”
