Agents introduction
A Glean Agent is an AI-powered tool that automates tasks for you, from simple to complex workflows, by handling actions like gathering information, summarizing data, and making decisions based on previous steps.
You can set up an Agent to start working when something specific happens, and it will carry out a series of actions that adapt to changing inputs, streamlining your work and saving you time on repetitive or detailed processes.
Who are agents for?
Agents are intended for various types of users within an enterprise, including:
- Builders: Individuals who create custom AI experiences. They often fall into subgroups such as function ops, IT personnel, power users, and drive-by users who need solutions for one-off problems.
- Consumers: Users who utilize agents created by others but are unlikely to develop their own agents. These include employees across titles and functions who benefit from the predefined tasks and automation provided by agents.
- Administrators: Responsible for managing and overseeing the adoption and governance of agents within the organization.
