The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-assistants ## Keep it, 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. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: A search engine with an AI model behind it. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
