Glue: A YC-Backed Startup Building a Design Tool Where AI Agents, Not Humans, Are the Primary Users
By
StartupHub.ai
Has the shape of a bagel but none of the steam.
Summary
Glue is a YC W2026 startup founded by Perbhat Kumar and Tejas Priyadarshi that aims to solve a fundamental problem with AI coding agents: they generate code without being able to visually see what they're building. Current AI coding tools like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot operate with a broken feedback loop — generate code, save, manually reload browser, observe, describe issues in text, repeat. Glue is building a design tool where AI agents — not humans — are the primary user, rethinking the design workflow to give AI agents visual feedback capabilities.
Key quotes

It's like asking an architect to design a building using only written descriptions of the blueprints.
Glue wants to fix that.
