Glean makes search and AI assistant software for the workplace. Arvind Jain, a former Google engineer and co-founder of Rubrik, started the company in 2019 with T.R. Vishwanath, Piyush Prahladka and Tony Gentilcore. It is based in Palo Alto, California.
Glean connects to the apps a company already uses, such as email, chat, document storage, ticketing and code tools. It indexes that content while respecting each person's access rights. Employees can then search across everything at once or ask questions and get answers drawn from internal documents. Companies can also build AI agents on Glean to handle routine tasks.
Its customers are mostly mid sized and large companies in technology, finance, retail and other fields. Glean sells to the whole company rather than to single teams, since it needs broad access to be useful. Arvind Jain is chief executive. The company has raised several rounds of funding and remains privately held.
