Glean Vs. Guru

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an account executive and I use Glean to find information regarding contract workflows, product information, and asking questions to the Glean Chat and Search.

Pros

  • Search for documents

Cons

  • The AI Chat can definitely improve. I will ask it questions about our sales process and it should be referencing documents that I know are in our company Glean, but it will give me the wrong answer.

Return on Investment

  • Positive ROI: Employees spending less time looking for answers to their questions because it is stored in Glean.
