**🚀 Custom AI Chat Component in Glide – With Voice & Image Upload**
https://www.loom.com/embed/016d0d3b38f249a7a82c99cf562379af?sid=ab42412d-5b18-4969-9fff-abf580e6ec1e
Just built a custom AI component in Glide that goes beyond the standard chat features — and it’s 🔥
📸 Image Upload
Since the native chat doesn’t support direct uploads, I used a custom component to first write the message (and image!) to a user-specific table before submitting it.
🎙 Voice-to-Text Recording
Using the new Record Action, users can now dictate their message. The transcribed text gets written directly into the same column — ready to send.
🧠The chat supports rich text, so once submitted, the message appears complete — with text and image — as a new chat row.
✅ It’s a smooth workaround that adds real power to Glide’s chat capabilities.
👉 Try it out or copy it here:

Glide team, this should be native 😉

Are you trying to authorize access through a value that is stored in your database?

I read about your use case in the other thread. Just beware that a user might have access to another one’s code as this is not secured. Not sure the implications of that in your case.

They are using one computer that can be monitored through camera. Do I have any other secure approach?

Is there a way to force them to logout at the end of each session?

Mainly because of security. We generally never encourage authenticate your user that way, since one’s data might be exposed to others.
Logging in with an email, and even securing them with row owners/roles is the best level of security you can apply.
Though, you understand your workflow best, so if it works for you I don’t have more recommendations.

You see, the glide should support the password type variable saving which are secured.
