Glean review

Glean started as enterprise search and now sells an AI assistant on top of that index, which is its advantage: it lists more than 275 connectors and searches company tools, documents, conversations and the web before it answers. The assistant plans multi-step requests, runs sub-agents in parallel to fill gaps, and checks progress before it delivers a result. Teams can create documents, decks, dashboards and even podcasts grounded in company knowledge, turn meetings into searchable summaries, and analyze data across warehouses and BI tools. Admins get a model hub with auto routing, usage controls and an AI gateway, and the agent builder adds orchestration and governance. Glean ranks seventh because it costs more effort to buy: prices are not published, purchase starts with a demo, and some headline features such as multiplayer chat and delegated workflows are labeled beta. For companies with knowledge scattered across many systems it can still beat the general assistants on answer quality.
