Enterprise AI is rapidly evolving, moving beyond simple chatbots that answer questions to sophisticated systems that can actually perform tasks across an organization. With this shift comes the question of who will own the AI layer that powers these capabilities.
One company that is making waves in this space is Glean. Originally starting as an enterprise search product, Glean has transformed into an “AI work assistant” that aims to serve as the backbone for other AI experiences within an organization. By connecting to internal systems, managing permissions, and delivering intelligence wherever employees work, Glean is positioning itself as a key player in the enterprise AI landscape.
Investors have taken notice of Glean’s potential, with the startup raising $150 million last year at an impressive $7.2 billion valuation. This funding comes as competition in the AI sector heats up, with tech giants bundling AI capabilities into their offerings.
Recently, Equity host Rebecca Bellan sat down with Glean’s CEO and founder, Arvind Jain, at Web Summit Qatar to discuss the evolving landscape of AI architecture in enterprises. They delved into topics such as the driving forces behind consolidation in the AI space, separating reality from hype in the agent sector, and the future of AI within organizations.
