Glide's platform is built around a visual Data Editor, Layout Editor, and Workflow Editor that together provide a full-stack no-code development environment. Data sources — including Google Sheets, SQL databases, CRMs, and ERPs — sync in real time via native connectors, and workflows can be triggered by emails, webhooks, or schedules with conditional branching and nested loops. The GlideOS layer introduces AI agents that can perform generative tasks (content creation, data extraction, conversions) embedded directly into workflows. The platform is SOC II Type 2, GDPR, and CCPA compliant, with fine-grained role-based access control across all apps.
