Glide AI

Glide is a no-code application platform that creates professional mobile and web applications from Google Sheets, Excel, and other data sources. The platform has evolved from a simple spreadsheet-to-app converter into a comprehensive business application builder with AI capabilities that enable more sophisticated features.

Glide's AI features allow apps to incorporate AI processing directly in application logic. Users can create AI-powered columns in their data sources that automatically process information — summarizing text, classifying entries, generating descriptions — using AI without writing any code. This data processing automation enables sophisticated application behaviors.

The platform's template marketplace provides starting points for common business application types — CRM systems, employee directories, field service applications, event management, and dozens of others. These templates can be customized for specific business needs, providing faster starting points than building from scratch.

Glide's conditional logic and data filtering capabilities enable creating role-based access control, personalized views, and complex business workflows that reflect actual organizational processes. These logical capabilities make Glide applications genuine business tools rather than simple data views.

For small and medium businesses that operate with Google Sheets as their primary data management tool, Glide provides a way to extend those sheets into proper business applications. The transition from spreadsheet to app eliminates the formatting, access control, and usability limitations of sharing raw spreadsheets with staff or customers.
