The report card
Best for a workplace assistant over company apps
Glean Assistant answers questions from your connected work apps, within what each person is allowed to see. No price or trial is published and it's sold to organizations. Proactive AI, shared chat and cross-system workflows are still beta.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so it sits in the middle. Access starts with a demo request. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. You ask for a demo. |
| Features | C | Answers from connected apps, documents, decks, dashboards and workflows. Several parts are beta. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. A company rollout that needs app connections and permissions set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with Slack, Teams, GitHub, Jira and Excel. No phone or desktop app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Glean Assistant is for
- Makes sense if your company wants one assistant across its work apps

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
