Glance AI

Describe the widget you want in Chat. Glance designs the layout, connects data sources, and can schedule automatic updates.

What Glance AI can do

• Design a layout matched to your widget size (small, medium, or large)
• Create a dynamic widget and attach the layout
• Connect integrations (Google Calendar, GitHub, on-device sources, and more)
• Set up automations on a schedule you choose
• Run a test update so you can preview before pinning

Suggested workflow

1. Connect integrations first in the iOS app under Settings → Integrations (or ask Glance AI to guide you).
2. Open Chat and describe the widget — what data, how often it should update, and any style preferences.
3. Review the layout preview in Chat before confirming.
4. When Glance AI finishes, pin the widget using Pin to Home Screen.

Example prompts

• "Build a medium widget showing my next 3 Google Calendar events, updating every hour."
• "Small GitHub status widget — latest commit and open PR count, dark theme."
• "Large dashboard with motion stats from my phone and Google Calendar side by side."
• "Small Spanish vocab card — show the word, tap to flip to the translation."
• "Pro Mission Control — hub that flips to a revenue line and an inbox list."

Glance AI vs MCP

Two kinds of AI, one Home Screen. Glance AI is Chat inside the iOS app. It can design a layout, connect Glance integrations, and set automations. Public MCP is ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor. Those hosts keep their own apps and push into Glance with ingest. They can attach on-device Apple sources (Weather, Calendar, Reminders, Motion) with create_automation. Cloud Glance-pull — GitHub, Google Calendar on a cron — stays here.

In-app message caps apply only here. Connecting MCP does not spend Glance AI messages. Install the connector on glance.cool/mcp.
