The Glide AI Custom Component expands your ability to design the UI of your Glide apps. You can generate new components for your app with AI, without needing coding or design expertise. Simply describe what you need or upload images, and watch custom components come to life.

This feature is available in beta and is currently under development.

How it works

Using a chat interface, describe how you want your component to look and function. If you have visual inspiration, you can even upload images to the chat interface, and the AI will use them as a reference.

The AI will generate a component from your prompt, which you can then iterate on and refine through further instructions. We recommend using voice to chat with the AI since people tend to give more context and detail when they speak versus when typing into a textbox (read more tips for using Glide AI here).

Why talk to your AI?

The AI Custom Component lets you push the boundaries of what’s possible to design in Glide. It gives you greater control over the look and feel of your business software. The AI generating your component is still trained on the Glide design system—helping ensure the components you create look consistent with the rest of your Glide app. Plus, they're mobile responsive and can interact with your data, precisely like our pre-built components. 

If you want to try it—and better, contribute to its development—head to the Glide Community to ask questions, give feedback, and watch CEO David Siegel’s demos and experiments in action.
