Glean’s fight to own the AI layer inside every company

Glean CEO Arvind Jain discusses the evolution of enterprise AI from simple chatbots to comprehensive AI work assistants. Glean, initially an enterprise search product, now functions as an AI platform that drives AI transformation within businesses. A key advantage for Glean is its early start in holistically understanding business operations and integrating with enterprise systems. Jain emphasizes that Glean complements rather than competes with major players like Microsoft and Google by leveraging various language models, including open source, to provide enterprises with the best AI capabilities. He also addresses the importance of security and governance in AI deployment, highlighting Glean's role in ensuring data access is controlled based on user permissions.
