# Welcome to Gloo AI Studio

> Build with values-aligned AI, ready for production.

Gloo AI Studio is the command and control center for working with the Gloo AI platform. It provides an interface where organizational admins, publishers, and developers can access and manage AI-driven capabilities — from onboarding publishers and monitoring content ingestion to managing API keys and building integrations.

The Gloo AI Studio developer hub is your starting point for building with platform-level AI capabilities. Browse the step-by-step guides and API reference to integrate, configure, and ship. Everything you need is here.

## Why Gloo?

Gloo exists to advance human flourishing by building AI systems that provide clarity, empathy, and timely wisdom, with values-aligned models accessed through Gloo AI Studio.

Unlike many AI efforts that focus primarily on technological advancement or commercial gain, Gloo starts from a different place. We’re building with a focus on human flourishing, and that core principle shapes how we approach AI: the infrastructure we build, the governance we apply, and the tooling we provide.

| **Design intent**        | Built for ministries, publishers, and churches   | General-purpose commercial use                                      |
| **Values alignment**     | Theological perspectives built into the platform | Models trained on broad data; alignment is developer responsibility |
| **Governance**           | Usage controls and content policies included     | Governance layers must be built and maintained separately           |
| **Access control**       | Secure, role-based organizational access         | API key management with limited team controls                       |
| **Production readiness** | Production-ready by default                      | Additional infrastructure decisions often required                  |
| **Ecosystem**            | Purpose-built for the faith community            | Broad ecosystem not tailored to ministry needs                      |

At Gloo, we’re working to make AI systems that are trustworthy and aligned with human values and accessible to everyone. If that resonates with you, check out what we’re building and start experimenting with our tools.

## For Developers

While Studio provides a powerful UI, it also serves as the gateway to the underlying developer platform.

* **Integrate and Customize:** Leverage Studio to access robust APIs and SDKs that allow you to build custom interfaces and integrations.
* **AI-Powered Development:** Use [GlooCode](/gloocode/overview) — an autonomous coding agent powered by Gloo AI's cost-optimized models — to plan, build, test, and debug directly from your terminal.
* **Monitor Usage:** Use detailed analytics and feedback loops to track performance and user engagement for your applications.
* **Configure Security:** Implement fine-grained access controls and audit trails for compliant and secure application development.
* **Self-Service API Management:** Provides self-service API key management, SDK access, and detailed documentation for integrating with Gloo AI.

## For Admins

Organization admins are responsible for setting up and maintaining the Gloo AI environment for their team.

* **Set Up Your Organization:** Configure your organization’s name, settings, and access controls from the Studio dashboard.
* **Create Publishers:** Add the [Publisher](/getting-started/glossary#publisher) entities that your content will be associated with before ingestion can begin.
* **Invite and Manage Users:** Invite team members and assign them roles (Admin, Editor, Viewer) to control what they can access.
* **Monitor Activity:** Use the Organization Data dashboard to track publisher activity and platform engagement.

## For Publishers & Editors

Publishers and editors are responsible for getting content into the platform and keeping it up to date.

* **Upload Content:** Ingest content from files, websites, YouTube channels, or RSS/ONIX feeds through the Data Engine.
* **Manage Your Library:** View, search, and edit content metadata in the Content Library to make your data discoverable and AI-ready.
* **Upload via API:** If you prefer a programmatic approach, the [Content APIs](/api-guides/content) support all the same ingestion operations.
