Glean App - One search engine that gives you solution

A tool that integrates with other apps in the org and helps find the resource with just a quick prompt. It has made life easy by searching internal docs/emails. It not only works on searching internal organisational documents but also has the option to open the search and get results from global sources. Great thing about the search is that every result has a reference link from which you can validate and refer to the source of the given information. This gives you confidence in the information being listed on Glean.

    Outcome-driven onboarding, ICP focus, and built-in quality gates turn a powerful-but-complex product into faster, measurable value.

    My overall experience has been positive: the product is powerful and flexible, and when onboarding was tied to clear success metrics we achieved measurable value quickly. The main friction is the learning curve for advanced features and reporting customization, which can feel unintuitive without guidance. I’d recommend it for teams willing to invest in guided setup and align processes to outcomes.
