Our mission is to create a seamless, connected experience across diverse enterprise applications so organizations can innovate faster and work smarter.
By harnessing advanced artificial intelligence and integrating deeply with a rich ecosystem of business tools, we strive to redefine how employees interact with digital knowledge and build a foundation for an adaptive, intelligent workplace of the future.
Our Review
We've been tracking Glean since its early days, and frankly, we're impressed by how they've tackled one of the most annoying problems in modern work: finding stuff. You know that feeling when you're desperately searching for a document that's buried somewhere between Slack, Google Drive, and three different project management tools? Glean built an entire company around solving that headache.
What started as a simple "Google for the enterprise" concept has evolved into something much more ambitious. The founding team — veterans from Google, Facebook, and Rubrik — clearly understood the pain points firsthand, which shows in their execution.
The Magic Behind the Search
Glean's core strength lies in its ability to actually understand context, not just match keywords. We tested it across various enterprise setups, and it consistently surfaced relevant information from disparate sources in ways that felt almost telepathic. The AI doesn't just find documents; it understands relationships between content, people, and projects.
Their connector ecosystem is genuinely impressive — over 100 integrations means most companies can plug Glean into their existing workflow without major disruptions. We particularly loved how it handles permissions intelligently, ensuring you only see what you're supposed to see.
Beyond Search: The AI Assistant Evolution
Here's where Glean gets interesting. They've expanded far beyond search into territory that directly competes with productivity heavyweights. The Glean Assistant can generate reports, draft emails, and even automate complex workflows using your company's actual data and knowledge base.
The Agents feature is where we see the real potential. Companies can build custom AI workflows that handle routine tasks automatically — think of it as having a super-smart intern who never sleeps and knows everything about your business.
The $7.2 Billion Question
That valuation raised some eyebrows, but the numbers back it up. Crossing $100 million in ARR with 500+ employees suggests they've found real product-market fit. Fast Company naming them the #1 Applied AI company for 2025 doesn't hurt their credibility either.
We're particularly bullish on their positioning against larger players like Microsoft and Google. While the tech giants focus on broad consumer and enterprise markets, Glean has laser focus on knowledge worker productivity — and it shows in their feature depth and integration quality.
