Overview

We’re excited to share our 2026 roadmap below. in 2025, Glide shipped over 100 new features to production, improved stability by 30% year over year, maintained 99.99% uptime, and launched our new digital loan application product.

Our shipping velocity is the reason why our customers love Glide and we’ve grown our team substantially in order to continue to deliver at the fastest rate this industry has seen.

In 2026, Glide is doubling down on AI.

Glide’s AI strategy is focused on augmentation, not replacement. We believe the future of banking is AI that strengthens human decision-making by providing better context, better timing, and better outcomes for both staff and members.

Today, FI teams spend too much time navigating fragmented systems, reviewing incomplete applications, chasing documents, and manually coordinating next steps. Members experience this friction through having to jump through hoops to complete a membership or loan application. Many AI solutions attempt to solve this by deflecting humans through chatbots and self-service, often at the cost of trust and clarity.

Glide takes a different approach.

Our 2026 roadmap centers on embedding AI directly into the workflows staff already use. Glide AI surfaces the right information at the right moment, automates routine operational work, and helps teams make faster, more consistent decisions.
