Glide

Glide suits operators translating an existing spreadsheet process into a usable internal app. It reads the structure of business data and helps build connected screens and workflows. AI can extend the application, but the data model and permissions still need deliberate review. A polished generated screen does not establish that sensitive records are correctly separated.

A practical workflow

1. Upload a non-sensitive sample spreadsheet or connect an approved source.
2. Define the people and tasks the app should support.
3. Review generated screens, relationships and workflow behavior.
4. Test permissions with separate user roles before publishing through an eligible plan.

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

Create an equipment-request app from this sample sheet, with request status, assigned owner and a view limited to each requester's records.

Result check: Check record visibility and updates for each role, especially whether one user can see another user's request.

Access and alternatives

A Free builder plan is documented, with limited credits and no published apps or enabled workflows. Paid plans add publishing, workflow capacity and stronger controls. The renewal boundary of free AI credits was not confirmed, so pricing is marked unconfirmed for AI discovery.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: Softr for another data-connected app builder; Bubble for a more general visual application platform.
