Glean is an AI-powered work assistant that searches across all your company's apps to help you find exactly what you need and discover the things you should know.

Try it out

Glean acts as a secure, unified search layer for the modern enterprise, connecting dozens of disparate SaaS applications into a single, intuitive interface. It leverages powerful large language models to understand natural language queries, providing personalized and contextual answers instead of just a list of links. Primarily serving knowledge workers in mid-to-large companies, its core value is drastically reducing the time employees spend searching for internal information, documents, and people. By respecting existing data permissions and adding generative AI capabilities for summarizing content and answering questions, Glean aims to be the central nervous system for organizational knowledge, boosting productivity and breaking down information silos.

  • High user adoption rates due to its intuitive, consumer-grade search experience.

  • The quality of search results is directly dependent on the organization and quality of the underlying source data.
  • Can be complex to fully configure and optimize for organizations with highly unique or legacy systems.
  • As with all generative AI, answers can occasionally be inaccurate or require verification against source documents.
