Hello Gliders!
Here’s what we’ve been up to for the last couple weeks…
Live Updates for Glide Big Tables
Glide Big Tables now supports live updates, so everyone sees the same information in real-time, all while preventing data errors and accidental conflicts. We’ve also added an automatic audit log to track changes and maintain data integrity.

Preview: Create custom components with AI chat
Our work continues on AI-generated custom components with improved data awareness and a new chat interface. You’ll find it under a new AI section in the Components gallery.

Preview: Inline Templates
In case you missed our last update: Inline Templates let you pull data into components without computed columns. It’s currently available for testing with Text components before we roll out to others.
Try it for yourself by enabling Inline Templates in your team settings on the Glide dashboard.
You’re Invited: Join us in Montreal on Wednesday, October 2nd
Glide’s annual offsite takes place in Montreal this year, and we want you to be part of it! Join us for an evening of drinks n’ heavy apps with the team on October 2nd.
