Work AI leader Glean announced Glean Agents, a horizontal agent environment that empowers any business and every employee to build AI agents at work. Coupled with the introduction of universal knowledge, agents built in Glean gain access to the AI industry’s broadest range of data – enterprise structured and unstructured data, and world (internet) data, both historical and real-time. To underpin its platform, Glean strengthens trust with new robust data and AI governance features, ensuring security, compliance, and control at every stage of customer adoption.
“At Zillow, our CloudHQ model enables teams to work flexibly while staying deeply connected, and we’re always looking for innovative solutions that enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing,” said Toby Roberts, SVP of Engineering & Technology, Zillow Group. “Glean is helping us streamline access to information, improve transparency, and empower employees to work more efficiently—fueling both innovation and impact across our teams.”
AI is fundamentally reshaping how employees work and companies drive competitive advantage. However, while most AI agents today are limited to isolated departmental use cases, their potential is magnified when they can access broad data and act horizontally across the organization – something Glean is making a reality.
