Glean pricing, use cases, and first steps

Glean is a search engine and assistant for large companies. It connects to work apps (Google Drive, SharePoint, Slack, Salesforce, Jira, and more than 250 others) and answers your questions from what it finds there, with sources. You only see documents you already have access to. Your company buys it: you can’t sign up on your own.

Glean has no free plan. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What Glean does

Who it’s for: employees at large companies who lose time looking for a document, an answer, or the right person.

Search every app at once

You type a few words. Glean searches every tool your company has connected and shows the matching documents, messages, and people. Filters let you narrow the results.

The assistant: a written answer, with its sources

You ask a question in full sentences. The assistant reads the documents you have access to and writes an answer where each point links to its source. You can mention a document or a person with @.

“Deep Research”: a full report

For an in-depth topic, Glean cross-checks your company’s tools and the web, then delivers a 5- to 10-page report with all its sources. Allow 5 to 30 minutes. It only reads: it changes nothing in your apps.

Also

  • A chat window on top of your apps
  • Glean next to the open page
  • Agents for recurring tasks
  • Write a document in the chat
  • In Slack: answer where the question is asked

Nova’s advice

You pay nothing yourself: it’s a company purchase, negotiated with Glean. If your company already has it, use it: it’s included. If it doesn’t, this is not a tool you can try on your own: look at Dust, Langdock, or the assistant your company already provides.

A first try, in 5 minutes

Your data. Glean follows each tool’s access rights: you only see what you’re already allowed to see.

What it does less well

  • You can’t try it on your own: no individual sign-up, no free plan, no published price.
  • Glean only finds what your company has connected. It does not search the files stored on your computer.

  1. Open app.glean.com and click “New chat” in the left menu.
  2. Paste the prompt below, replace the topic with a real one from your team, then send.
  3. Read the answer. Each statement links to a source: click it to open the original document or message.
  4. Need the full list of documents rather than a summary? Use search and its filters.
  5. Rate the answer with the thumbs below it: this helps your company improve the results.
