Glif

Glif is a creative AI platform from Spellcasters, Inc. — originally launched in 2023 as a no-code visual workflow builder for chaining text, image, audio, and video models into shareable "glifs", and re-launched in March 2026 as Glif 2.0, a single chat-based AI agent with access to 100+ native tools (Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.1, GPT-4o, Nano Banana Pro, Flux 2 Turbo, Seedream V4, Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro, VEO 3.1, Hailuo 2.3, ElevenLabs, MiniMax v2, FFmpeg, web search and more). Glif raised a $17.5M seed round led by a16z and USV in April 2026. The platform is used by creators, e-commerce sellers, performance marketers, and agencies to produce short-form video, product shoots, ad campaigns, character/comic art, memes, logos, and SVG vector graphics. Glif's public REST and Simple APIs were deprecated on 2026-05-20 in favor of the chat agent surface; the open Glif MCP server, ComfyUI custom nodes, Chrome extension, and Python client remain the canonical programmatic entry points to the platform. Profiled in the API Evangelist network as a reference case for the "no-code AI workflow builder → AI agent" platform pivot, alongside peers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and other foundation-model orchestration providers.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Glif the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Glif scores 23.2/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Glif

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Glif. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 2

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Glif Simple API

HTTP endpoint for invoking a single published glif (AI workflow) by ID and passing a list of named or positional string inputs. POST a JSON body with `id` and `inputs` to https:...

Glif REST API

Read-and-write REST API for the Glif platform — list and fetch glifs (`/glifs`), look up runs (`/runs`), fetch the authenticated user (`/me`), look up users (`/user`), and brows...

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
