Overview

Glean is the Work AI platform that connects to all your company's tools and data so AI can actually understand how your business works. It searches across apps like Slack, Google Drive, Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, GitHub and Salesforce, then uses that context to answer questions, summarize decisions, write content and automate everyday tasks, all grounded in your company's actual knowledge instead of generic training data.

Every answer is permission-aware and traceable back to its source, so people only see what they're already allowed to see. Teams can build custom agents and multi-step workflows without writing code, choosing from 40+ LLMs including GPT, Gemini and Claude models through Glean's Model Hub. Glean's context layer also cuts down on token waste, so answers cost less to generate and scale further as usage grows.

Used across engineering, sales, support, HR and more, Glean turns fragmented company knowledge into a single place to find answers, get work done and build AI agents that actually know your business.

Founded by Arvind Jain, T.R. Vishwanath, Piyush Prahladka and Tony Gentilcore, and backed by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, ICONIQ Growth, General Catalyst, SoftBank and others.

Glean - What's New ✨

🎧 Rolled out an in-app podcast feature for surfacing product updates and commentary straight from the team

🤖 Added Gemini 3.7 Flash to the mix, pushing the model library past 40+ closed and open models available in-platform

📊 Dropped a benchmark against Claude Cowork on agent task economics: $0.45/task vs $1.84/task, a 4x gap driven by 2.9x lower token volume and a 1.4x cheaper blended rate. Credit goes to smart routing (Luna handling commodity steps, Opus saved for the 29% of volume where it counts) plus tighter retrieval that cuts context bloat

🎤 Locked in as a headline presence at Glean:GO 2026 (Aug 26-27, San Francisco + virtual), with co-founder Tony Gentilcore taking the stage on multi-model routing and cost control for enterprise AI stacks
