Simple is a Feature
Threads, context, action. That's the simple, fast productivity loop that you're telling us matters most—so we doubled down on it. Here's what we cut, what we shipped, and where Glue is heading next.
It's been a little quiet from us lately, so as founder of Glue I wanted to share what the team has been up to. We’ve been heads-down for the past few months and can't be more excited with where Glue is going.
Some quick context: near the end of 2025, we took a hard look at the product and realized we hadn't hit the mark. We were adding features and fixing bugs, but we weren't focused clearly enough on who we are and what we're building, and it showed. Thanks to your feedback we got clear on what matters most: threads, context, and action—a simple, fast productivity loop. Some of the product was actually distracting from this core, so for the past few months we've been doubling-down on what makes Glue great and getting rid of the rest.
Our motto for the last dev cycle has been "Simple is a feature", and we're shipping it. You'll find the new UI simpler and better focused on threads, laying a foundation for future versions of Glue that make threads the fastest idea-to-action productivity primitive. In the process we've shipped some incredibly valuable new features: workspace-public threads, multi-turn agent sessions, voice notes, search filters, a new Cmd-K palette, and real-time updates from links shared from your favorite apps like GitHub, Linear, and Sentry. More on these in the coming weeks.
The pace of development powered by agents has required us to make major shifts in how we work, but in the process we're discovering how work chat tools like Glue should fit into these new workflows. It's more critical than ever to get the right context to the right people so a decision can be made and action taken in real-time. The Glue thread is the perfect balance of lightweight but powerful to help you get from idea or problem to action without the noise of channels. Our team and many of our users are using Glue AI to move decisions from threads out to tools like Linear and Jira where agents can pick up the work, but we're also experimenting with triggering and managing various local and cloud agents right from Glue. We'll share more about that soon (let us know if you'd like to try!)
For years we've been wanting to separate the signal from the noise. We're finally set up to do this, for your team and teams at scale. More soon.
