Create your first app

Built with

GlideOS is an operating system for your business. We help you turn the spreadsheets your business already runs on into rich, powerful apps you can share with your team. No spreadsheet? No problem. You can also start from a prompt to build any idea you have.

What you can do

  • Upload a spreadsheet and build an app from it.
  • Describe an app you want to create from scratch.
  • Work with the Glide agent in chat to make any changes you want.
  • Preview apps as they are created or changed.
  • Share apps with your team or with other people who need to use them.
  • Keep related apps, chats, files, data, and secrets together in a project.

How it works

Start with a spreadsheet

Spreadsheets are often where the most important business information already lives. In GlideOS, a spreadsheet can become the starting point for an app that is easier to use, easier to share, and better suited to the way your team works.

Or start with a prompt

If you do not have a spreadsheet yet, describe what you want to build. Glide creates a project and opens a workspace where you can keep shaping the app.

Build in a project

A project is a workspace for related apps and data. Apps in the same project can work from the same information, so you can build different tools for the same workflow.

Keep improving with Glide

The build workspace gives you a place to chat with Glide, preview the app, open uploaded files, and continue making changes.

When to use GlideOS

Use GlideOS when your team has a spreadsheet, workflow, or business process that would be more useful as an app.

Good starting points include:

  • A spreadsheet your team already uses.
  • A process people repeat often.
  • A tracker, dashboard, portal, or internal tool.
  • A workflow that needs a simple app people can use and share.
