Glimpse - Your AI Teammate

💡 Inspiration

Modern product teams are overloaded with tools, GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion, Zoom, but still stuck doing repetitive, manual work: copy-pasting meeting notes into tickets, writing PR summaries, or syncing docs with deployments. We built Glimpse to answer one question: What if an AI could work across all these tools and automate the handoffs between them?

⚙️ What It Does

Glimpse connects to your workspace tools and acts as an AI teammate that:

• Understands your code, PRs, tickets, and meetings
• Syncs information across tools automatically
• Lets you chat with an AI agent that has access to your workspace context
• Prepares to auto-update Linear issues, Notion docs, and more — intelligently

Currently, Glimpse supports integrations with live data syncing and a powerful AI chat interface that is context-aware.

🛠️ How I Built It

• Frontend: Next.js (with Tailwind) Started in Bolt
• Backend: Convex for real-time DB and serverless functions
• AI: OpenAI's Agent SDK Migrating to Mastra.ai
• Integrations Layer: Pica
• Live Chat: Real-time AI chat with per-user workspace memory and tool awareness

All integrations are powered by a unified backend that keeps each tool in sync and lets Glimpse's AI reason across them.

🧗 Challenges I Ran Into

• Managing OAuth flows across many third-party services
• Preventing token mismatches and race conditions during workspace sync
• Giving the AI meaningful context without overwhelming token limits
• Making the chat feel “smart” before full agentic flows were ready

🏆 Accomplishments That I am Proud Of

• Learnt a lot more about Agents, and building Apps with AI platforms
• A polished, modern UI with intuitive onboarding and clean UX
• A working AI teammate that already helps teams stay in flow
• A clean architecture that supports future agentic workflows

📚 What I Learned

• The AI is only as smart as the context it's given, tool integration matters more than prompt quality alone
• Developers love the idea of “invisible automation”, workflows should just happen
• Live workspace context is a huge unlock for meaningful AI output
• The best user experience comes from tools that respect current workflows, not replace them

🔮 What’s Next for Glimpse

• Enable agentic behavior
• Roll out MCP support to allow AI-powered context in code editors
• Build Glimpse Slack Bot to bring workspace AI directly into team convos
• Roll out workspace memory + proactive agents (e.g. async standups, status reports)
• Let users upload specs (OpenAPI, Postman) for auto-generated docs
