Overview

GlideOS is an AI software development platform designed to turn spreadsheets, prompts, and files into fully functional internal business applications. Rather than requiring months of traditional coding or weeks of no-code configuration, GlideOS enables teams to build custom apps in minutes by leveraging AI to understand data structure and generate polished, intelligent interfaces.

The platform combines spreadsheet intelligence with agentic AI capabilities. It analyzes your data, formulas, and design to create a reliable database, then generates a beautiful app accessible on any device. Teams can describe problems in conversation, add AI features like chat and image generation, and automate repetitive workflows—all without writing code.

Built for enterprise deployment, GlideOS handles infrastructure, security, and compliance (SOC 2 Type 1, GDPR, CCPA) so organizations can focus on solving operational problems rather than managing technical complexity.
