Who Glean Assistant is not for
- Not for you if you're an individual: it's sold to organizations
- Skip it if you want a price or a trial before talking to sales
- Watch out: proactive AI, shared chat and cross-system workflows are beta
- Watch out: no phone or desktop apps are listed

Keep Glean Assistant, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Glean Assistant you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 68 of the 71 other AI assistants grade higher.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Glean Assistant’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
