Glaze by Raycast
Overview
Glaze by Raycast is a tool designed to reimagine desktop applications by enabling users to create personal and powerful software for their team. It operates on a Mac platform and connects to users' files, tools, and hardware.
This software allows users to build an application within minutes by providing instructions to the embedded AI in a conversational manner. The apps created with Glaze are local-first which means they operate without the need for a server or internet connection, enabling deeper integration with the users' operating system.
This functionality extends to access files, tools and anything on the operating system providing significant user control and customization.Glaze goes beyond just creation, also facilitating easy sharing of the built applications with team members or releasing them for public use.
Team-focused utilities are a key feature, with internal software designed around the team's processes and tools.The tool promises a privacy-respecting approach, with user data remaining on their machine, unlike many browser-focused apps.
Furthermore, applications created with Glaze can integrate with the user's other tools, APIs, local files, and hardware, extending their functionality and promoting efficiency.Glaze by Raycast also encourages a communal approach to software development, with options to explore and install apps developed by the wider community of builders.
The company offers various plans, including a freemium offering with paid plans starting at a basic rate. Although currently only supporting a Mac platform, Glaze anticipates extending its functionalities to the Windows and Linux platforms.

Most AI code generation tools leave you out to dry when you get to backend implementation. Using Convex on the backend or just using Chef has become a no-brainer for everyone trying to make real apps.
