Hello Gliders,
Welcome to August! We’re deep into summer and busy as ever. 
This week we’ve got a recap of everything we shipped in the first half of 2024; new beta previews for working with your data sources; and our usual rundown of Glide fixes and updates.
Let’s get into it.
What has Glide shipped this year?
Learn more about all the features we shipped in the first half of 2024, including: our reimagined Data Grid and Table components; Dark Mode and additional appearance settings; enhanced Zapier and Make integrations; new platforms supported in the Video component; and new ways to leverage open-source AI models and browser information in your apps.

Beta Preview: Inline templating for Text components
You can now use inline templating to pull column values directly into your Text components, without having to build unnecessary template columns in your data source. Use the @ sign to pull values from a column.
You can enable inline templating in the Preview panel.
Refer to the Glide Docs for more details →
Beta Preview: Bulk Update API
The new Bulk Update API enhances your ability to interact with Glide Big Tables, whether it be fetching data or running batched updates on multiple rows.
This new API is in very early stages of development, and we’re eager to see how you put it to work in your Glide apps. It’s also worth taking a peek if you’re also curious about the future of Glide’s native API.

Replay: Build with Glide + Summit
Last week we resumed our Build with Glide demos by showing you how to build advanced AI-powered automations using Glide and Summit. We used a combination of Glide Big Tables, Call API, Summit’s custom AI models, and the Glide API. Watch the replay to see how it all came together.
