Feature Overview

Glean in Service Cloud is a group of two apps built for support teams using Salesforce Service Cloud:

  • Glean Case Assistant
  • Glean Search

These apps enhance productivity and streamline various customer support workflows by allowing users to:

  • Search across all company apps
  • Generate case summaries dynamically
  • Access AI powered issue resolution steps and ask follow-up questions to Glean Assistant
  • Case sentiment
  • Receive contextual recommendations (related documents, similar cases, knowledge articles)
  • Chat with Glean Assistant
  • Compose a response to the customer
  • Run AI agents

Add “Case Assistant” to access Agents, Search and Assistant in a single surface. If you specifically want to use only search, you can select to add only Search.

​
Glean Case Assistant

This app only supports Service Cloud Cases and is not applicable to other Salesforce objects like Accounts or Opportunities.

The Glean Case Assistant app surfaces key information related to the case that the support user is currently working on:

  • Case summary
  • Case sentiment
  • Case resolution steps
  • Contextual recommendations (related documents and similar cases)
  • Ability to chat and ask follow-up questions to Glean Assistant
  • Compose a response

​
Structured summary of the current case

The summary highlights the key points of interest from the case including the issue that was reported, a suspected cause if identified, the current status of the case, and the customer sentiment in the form of concise bullet points.

​
Set of suggested next steps for issue resolution

Next steps aim to help users resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Glean understands the case context, knows what information the user has access to and is able to suggest steps towards resolution by bringing relevant company knowledge directly into Salesforce. This saves users time by presenting relevant information without the users having to search for it. In addition, citations help users verify the next steps and get more information from documents (see Sources) used to generate the suggestions.

Note: Users can provide feedback on these next steps by clicking on the thumbs up/down icons.

​
Quick access to Glean Assistant

Users can interact with Glean Assistant, ask follow-up questions, or inquire about anything relevant to the issue by quickly accessing the Assistant without leaving Salesforce.

Users can hover over a document and click to see a summary. In addition to related tickets and knowledge base articles, Resources will surface the latest relevant documentation from across the company, such as Slack threads, to help solve the ticket.

In addition, Glean also surfaces other cases that might be related to the current issue.

​
Run agents

Admins are able to add selected agents to Glean in Service Cloud. End users can see and run these agents right from the interface.

​
Compose a response

Glean helps you compose a response based on the case contents. End users can modify the response and send it to the customer, thus streamlining communication.

​
Glean Search App

Click the Glean icon on the top bar. Glean Search will open, allowing you to search across all your enterprise apps connected to Glean, directly from Zendesk.

​
Ability to greenlist data sources for search, recommendations, and chat

Shown below in the installation instructions, admins have the ability to greenlist a certain set of data sources for search and related documents.
