What Glean does
Glean is a private enterprise AI platform focused on helping knowledge workers find, verify, and act on information across company systems. The company’s “Work AI” platform connects and understands enterprise data (for example emails, documents, chats, and business systems) to generate permission-aware answers and to support agentic workflows grounded in company knowledge.
At a high level, Glean positions itself as more than an index: it combines enterprise search/RAG with an AI assistant experience and tools for building and managing AI agents—aiming to reduce hallucination and context loss by returning responses that are “referenceable back to source documentation,” while enforcing enterprise permissions and governance.
Glean’s target users include enterprise end users (knowledge workers) and enterprise builders/IT teams that need governed deployment of AI across multiple departments and systems. Glean also highlights horizontal use across teams and departments (rather than point solutions), along with integrations across common enterprise SaaS platforms.
