The backstory
Glean indexes a company's SaaS apps to provide unified search and an AI work assistant grounded in internal data. Microsoft 365 Copilot does the same across Microsoft's own graph, bundled with the licenses many firms already buy. That makes Glean's headline feature a default for Microsoft-heavy shops. Glean stays relevant for cross-vendor stacks and deep connectors Copilot ignores, so it is wounded rather than killed.
