Questions, answered.
The things people ask before they download — about cost, control, and whether it's really for someone who can't code. (It is.)
The basics
How is Glass different from the AI I already use?
Same brains — Glass runs on the ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok you already use. A browser chat can remember its conversation, but it does not automatically carry the working context of your local folders and projects into every session. Glass connects that AI to the files and apps you choose and keeps your project context available between sessions.
Do I need to pay for an AI too?
Two things power Glass: an AI, and Glass itself. You sign in with an AI you choose — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok. Each has a free tier to start, but to really put it to work you will want a paid plan with one of them (most are around $20 a month). That is the brain, and it stays yours — we never sell or mark up the AI. Glass is the separate piece at $19.95 a month: the hands that let that brain actually work on your computer.
Which AI models can I use?
Glass supports models available through connected ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok accounts. Model availability and usage limits depend on the provider and plan you choose, and you can switch providers in Glass.
What does it cost?
Your first 40 Glass messages are free — no credit card, just download the app. After that Glass is $19.95 a month and you can cancel anytime. Glass adds no message meter, but your AI provider’s plan limits still apply.
What computers does it run on?
Mac and Windows.
Is this for me?
I am not technical. Is this actually for me?
That is exactly who it is for. If you can describe what you want the way you would describe it to a person, you are qualified. The technical part — the code, the setup, the wiring — is Glass’s job. That is the whole point.
Can it really build things — an app, a website, a tool?
Yes. Describe the tool your business needs — the client portal, the job tracker, the site no software company sells because only you need it — and Glass builds the real thing on your computer. Not a template. Yours.
What if the app I use isn’t in the connections list?
You can still connect it. The panel shows the popular apps up front, with 900+ more in the full catalog — but even if yours isn’t listed at all, you just ask Glass in the chat and it sets the connection up for you behind the scenes. If your business runs on it, Glass can almost always reach it.
What if I don’t know what to do?
Then Glass is exactly for you. There is no manual and no menus to learn — the chat box is the whole thing. Whenever you are unsure what to do, or how to do it, you just ask, right there, in plain words. And because Glass remembers your whole business, asking "what should we tackle next?" gets you an answer about your actual situation, not a generic list. Not knowing the how is the entire reason Glass exists.
Trust & control
Will it change things without asking?
You choose how much to delegate. Glass works in the folders you select, and you can approve changes step by step or hand off a job and review what it did afterward.
Is it watching everything I do?
No. Glass works with the folders you choose and does not store your working files on Glass servers. When you ask the AI to work, the context needed for that request goes to the AI provider you selected under that provider’s terms.
What are API keys in Settings?
They are credentials that connect an AI provider to Glass. The app walks you through setup, and each provider controls how its credentials and plan access work.
