Glean: From Enterprise Search to AI Platform

Glean, initially an enterprise search product, is expanding its scope. The company is positioning itself as an "AI work assistant," with the ambition of managing the underlying artificial intelligence infrastructure for various enterprise applications.

This evolution reflects a shift in the enterprise AI landscape. It's moving from chatbots that answer questions to systems that actively automate complex work processes. Competition for control of this AI layer, crucial for automation, is intensifying.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks at /llm-onpremise to evaluate these options.
