Assistant ROAD-1272

View changes between versions of your documents, emails, and messages

You can now see exactly what changed between versions of a document, email, or message generated in Glean Assistant. When you ask the assistant to revise an artifact, the diff view highlights additions, deletions, and edits inline — so you can review changes at a glance instead of re-reading the whole thing. Whether you are iterating on a customer email, refining a proposal, or editing a team update, diffs make every revision transparent and easy to approve.

Assistant ROAD-1305

Experience refreshed progress updates

We've improved the intermediate steps experience in Assistant so it's easier to scan tool execution and reasoning while a task is running. This makes progress clearer, helps users better understand what Assistant is doing, and creates a more polished overall experience.

How to access: The intermediate steps automatically invoke for queries in assistant.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1294

Ask clarifying questions in Glean Assistant

Glean Assistant can now ask concise, contextual clarifying questions when a request is ambiguous or under-specified, helping it choose the right path before taking action. This improves first-pass quality, reduces wasted work caused by incorrect assumptions, and makes Assistant feel more collaborative on multi-step tasks.

How to access: Clarifying Questions activate automatically for Glean Assistant.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1269

MCP Apps Extension support in Glean Assistant

You can now bring your favorite applications right into Glean with MCP App Extensions. Glean acts as an MCP app host, so when an MCP server returns a UI resource, the app can render directly inside the chat experience as an interactive widget.

That means users can interact with dashboards, forms, approval flows, and data visualizations natively in Glean—without switching tools or opening a separate window. All third-party UI runs in a secure, sandboxed environment with enforced content security policies, so you get a seamless experience without compromising safety. This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1234

Salesforce object query filters in setup page

Admins can now add query filters to Salesforce objects directly in the Glean Admin Console, so you can control which Salesforce records are indexed without backend configuration changes. Filters support SOQL-style conditions and combine multiple rules with AND logic, so only records that match all configured conditions are indexed. This makes it easier to limit crawl scope, support compliance and data minimization needs, and manage Salesforce indexing in a more self-serve way.

How to access: In the Admin Console, go to Data sources → Salesforce → Objects, then add a new object or edit an existing one. Open Advanced options, select Add filter, choose the Salesforce field, operator, and value for each condition, then save your changes and run a crawl for the filters to take effect. Filters apply only to the object you configure, so if you need similar scoping on related objects, configure filters separately for each one.

Connectors ROAD-1265

Native search replacement in Atlassian's Confluence and Jira is moving to the browser extension

Glean's Atlassian Native Search replacement previously available within Jira and Confluence will revert to Atlassian's native search capabilities over the coming weeks. However, users can still search from Atlassian pages with the Glean browser extension sidebar, which lets them leverage Glean search without leaving the browser or the Atlassian page. This change is being made due to low usage and the broader benefits and extensibility of the Glean extension.

Search ROAD-1276

Admin Features

Glean now supports custom static & dynamic headers for MCP

Glean now supports customer-specific custom HTTP headers for outbound requests to external MCP servers, making it easier to connect servers that require tenant-specific metadata, vendor-specific headers, or request-time identity context. Customers can configure any fixed static headers and dynamic headers for user email, user ID, and API key.

How to access: Reach out to your support representative with the list of headers you want to enable for MCPs and they can update your config.

Learn more

Actions ROAD-1306

Simplified OAuth management for admins

Admins can now manage OAuth settings in a clearer, more organized Third-party access page. The updated experience separates IDP-configured OAuth and the Glean OAuth Authorization Server into distinct views, making it easier to find the right settings and manage third-party access with more confidence.

How to access: Go to the Admin Console and open Settings → Third-party access (OAuth) to manage OAuth configuration. From there, admins can enable the Glean OAuth Authorization Server and create static OAuth clients with the redirect URIs and scopes needed for their internal or third-party applications. If you're using MCP, enable the OAuth authorization server first, then enable Glean MCP Servers under Platform → Glean MCP servers.

Learn more

Admin Capabilities ROAD-1216

Latency enhancements for Egnyte customers with multiple admin accounts

Glean's Egnyte connector now supports multiple administrator authentications for a single Egnyte data source, so you can authorize more than one Egnyte admin account. Glean uses every active admin token during Egnyte crawls, which improves crawl throughput as you add admins while continuing to enforce Egnyte's native permissions. This helps large Egnyte deployments index content faster and keep more content fresh in Glean.

Connectors ROAD-1238

OneDrive and SharePoint connector enhancements

Glean supports real-time search across Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint, including Document Libraries, Sites, and Lists. The feature streamlines collaboration and ensures users can quickly find and use the most up-to-date documents across their Microsoft 365 environment.

How to access: Admins can turn on the feature in the Glean Admin Console. For OneDrive and SharePoint, setup requires registering an app in Azure, granting the necessary application permissions (including Sites.FullControl.All and Files.ReadWrite.All), and completing the configuration in Glean. Once enabled, users can paste OneDrive or SharePoint links into Glean Chat to fetch and interact with documents, provided they have access rights. For detailed setup steps, refer to the Glean Help Center documentation for OneDrive and SharePoint connectors.

Learn more

Connectors ROAD-1141

NetSuite connector

Glean now offers a NetSuite connector, enabling organizations to securely search key financial and operational data from their NetSuite ERP. The connector supports high-value workflows such as viewing invoices, payment histories, unpaid invoices, and customer records directly within Glean. By making critical NetSuite data discoverable, teams can streamline finance, sales operations, and back-office processes, improving visibility and productivity across the business.

Learn more

Connectors ROAD-842

Glean OAuth - Dynamic client registration

Glean now supports a generally available OAuth authorization server for secure third-party access and MCP host connections. Admins can enable Dynamic Client Registration so supported MCP hosts can register at runtime, apply redirect URI restrictions for tighter control, and manage connected OAuth applications, including revocation, from the Admin Console. This makes it faster to connect approved tools to Glean while giving admins more visibility and control over access.

How to access: In the Admin Console, go to Settings > Third-party access (OAuth) and enable the Glean OAuth Authorization Server. If you want to control which dynamically registered apps can connect, open Manage settings, turn on Restrict Dynamic Clients by Redirect URI, and use either the Glean-managed list or your own static list of allowed redirect URI patterns. If you're using Glean MCP Servers, also go to Platform > Glean MCP servers and enable them there.

Learn more

Developer Experience ROAD-1205

Restricted topics policies (acceptable use policies / topic guardrails) on user prompt for Assistant compliance

Glean now enables organizations to enforce Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) at the user query level in Glean Assistant and Agents. Admins can define and centrally manage topic-based guardrails to block or flag user prompts on sensitive topics—such as performance reviews, disciplinary actions, compensation, and other HR-sensitive areas—ensuring compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements. This feature helps reduce the risk of information leakage, supports adoption in regulated industries, and builds trust by preventing prohibited queries from being processed or answered, regardless of underlying data source permissions.

Protect ROAD-872

User Features

Agents now support adding apps instead of individual actions for Auto mode and Plan and Execute agents

Builders can now give Auto mode and Plan and Execute agents access to whole apps like Jira, Slack, Gmail, and Google Docs instead of adding individual actions one by one. This makes agent setup faster, easier to understand, and less cluttered.

Existing agents will transition to this new experience automatically, with no breaking changes. If an agent already uses multiple actions from the same app, those actions will continue to work after migration. For user confirmation settings, we take the more conservative approach: if any one of those actions requires user confirmation, then all actions from that app in that agent will require user confirmation.

How to access: No rebuild is required for existing Auto mode or Plan and Execute agents. Existing agent configurations that already use individual actions will continue to work as-is, and builders can now add supported apps directly when creating or editing Auto mode and Plan and Execute agents. Static workflow agents are unchanged in this release and still use individual actions.

Learn more

Actions ROAD-1236

Memory usage in agent debug traces

Debug mode now shows how much of each LLM call's context window is used, with separate input and output percentages for workflow and auto mode agents. This helps builders spot steps nearing context limits, diagnose truncation-related quality issues, and tune memory and model settings. For workflow agents, the memory setting is also now more prominently displayed beneath Instructions in each step.

Learn more

Agents ROAD-1215-MR

Share content with your teammates

Sharing enables Glean users to publish dashboards, infographics, visualizations, and other content to a stable, shareable link that teammates can open directly in Glean, resulting in seamless distribution of created work without leaving the platform.

How it works: Click Share on any artifact, set audience and permissions (private, team, or org-wide).

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1153-MR

Viewing generated visual media within Glean Canvas

Users can now view AI-generated slides and images inline in Canvas, staying in flow as they scroll through decks, zoom into visuals, and quickly sanity-check content without downloading files or opening other apps. When they're ready to share or polish, they can still export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDF, or image files — making fast in-product review the default and export an explicit follow-up step.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1108

Glean Assistant can create PowerPoint presentations

Glean Assistant can now generate full slide decks with day zero support for Microsoft PowerPoint (Google Slides support coming soon) presentations directly from prompts. Ask Assistant to create a slide deck on any topic, and it will automatically use your company's approved template to maintain consistent branding and formatting across all presentations. Available for Glean Key and Customer Key. Admins must add their company slide template to the admin console via Console > Assistant > Settings > Slide deck generation > upload template.

See Coming Soon release notes for upcoming Google Slides support.

This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

How to access: Admins must enable PowerPoint slide generation via the Admin console for admins or all users, and upload a company template.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-898

Create and execute structured plans in Glean Assistant

Glean Assistant generates an interactive plan displayed directly in chat, breaking the task into clear, numbered steps. Each step updates live with its status (Pending, In Progress, or Done) along with an overall progress bar and elapsed time, so you can follow along as work gets done.

Stay in control: Stop Assistant at any time and redirect it. Assistant can regenerate a new plan or update its existing one based on your feedback.

Adaptive execution: If new information emerges mid-task, Assistant revises its plan in real-time, adjusting steps rather than following a rigid sequence.

How to access: This feature automatically gets enabled in Thinking Mode.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1248

Download Canvas content as Markdown

Canvas documents now include a Download Markdown option in the export menu, letting you save your content as a clean .md file with a single click. Any Glean-hosted images are preserved as clickable links so nothing is lost in translation. Whether you're moving content to GitHub, a README, or another markdown-friendly tool, it just works.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1244

Bring your Glean memory to any AI tool with MCP (GCP)

Bring your Glean memory to any AI tool with MCP, enabling employees to use their existing Glean memory in third-party AI assistants and IDEs. This allows them to receive personalized, context-aware responses without repeatedly restating their role, projects, preferences, or writing style. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Copilot can retrieve this context through the MCP memory tool. Memory remains read-only and fully governed within Glean. This is available by default for existing Glean MCP server deployments on GCP. We are working on this for our AWS customers. Admins can disable the memory tool for a deployment at any time.

How to access: The read_memory tool is included in Glean's MCP server and enabled by default for deployments on GCP. No additional integration is necessary. We are working on this for our AWS customers.

Admin controls: Administrators can enable or disable the read_memory tool for a deployment in MCP Hub or the Glean Admin Console.

End-user context: End users manage the information used by this tool through their memory profile in Glean under Settings > Personalization. Connected AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Copilot) can call read_memory via MCP to retrieve this governed, read-only context.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1203

Agent sandbox and programmatic tool calling in Assistant [Glean Key and Glean Hosted Only]

Glean Assistant can now use a secure sandboxed environment in Thinking mode to handle more complex analysis and research tasks. This helps Assistant work through large result sets across connected systems, run code to analyze data, and return richer outputs like summaries, charts, and CSVs — without requiring any extra setup from end users. It's especially useful for multi-step analytical questions that would otherwise exceed a model's context window and executing skills (currently in beta).

How to access: Available for Glean Key and Glean-hosted customers in Assistant Thinking mode. Agent Sandbox activates automatically when a query benefits from code execution, exhaustive retrieval, or cross-system analytics, so users don't need to enable or configure anything. Customer-hosted deployments are not included in this launch.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1160

Create dynamic, interactive pages with Glean Assistant

Glean Assistant can create interactive pages that run safely inside Glean, no separate tools or coding required. Describe what you want (an interactive dashboard, infographic, or simple calculator, for example) and Assistant will generate HTML you can preview, click through, and refine directly in Canvas.

This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1136

Edit images in Glean Assistant

You can now edit Assistant-generated images right inside Glean. Open any image in the viewer, draw annotations on the areas you want changed, describe the edit in plain language, and click Apply to get an updated version. Compare versions as you iterate with version history.

This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Assistant ROAD-1117

Create images with OpenAI's Image 1.5 model in Assistant and Agents

Glean now supports OpenAI Image 1.5, giving users access to a new, high-quality image generation capability from OpenAI that was not previously available. Users can generate richer visuals directly from Glean Assistant and Agents, with images embedded into artifacts like slides and docs where supported. Agent builders also now have a dedicated Image Creation node, and Plan & Execute plus autonomous agents can explicitly incorporate image generation into multi-step workflows. Usage continues to follow your organization's existing safety, quota, and eligibility settings, with graceful fallbacks to text-only responses when requests are blocked or exceed limits.

This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Embedded Integrations ROAD-1233

Gradual rollout of new Glean homepage to select customers

Beginning March 26, Glean will start a gradual rollout of a new homepage to customers that were previously contacted via email. The updated experience streamlines where users start their work in Glean without taking away any core functionality. The new homepage proactively recommends personalized next steps to move work forward, includes a dedicated company tab, and brings search and chat into a single entry point. The experience will roll out gradually to all users in the notified customer base. During this period, users within the same organization may temporarily see different homepage experiences.

Note: All Glean customers will receive these updates later this month (see Coming Soon ROAD-1043).

How to access: Admins can opt out of the early rollout in Admin Console > Appearance using the homepage experience toggle, if the homepage rollout is available in their environment. If you have questions or feedback, join the conversation in the Gleaniverse.

Glean Home ROAD-1040

Admin Features

Introduce billing alerts and monthly budgets

Admins can now set billing alerts and monthly budgets to proactively stay ahead of FlexCredits usage. They can configure alerts when total credit consumption reaches 50%, 75%, 90%, or 100% of available credits, and set a monthly soft budget with alerts at the same thresholds. By default, admins receive alerts at 75%, 90%, and 100% of total available credits, and those alert settings are editable.

How to access: Open the Admin console and select FlexCredits to access the billing dashboard. To use the dashboard, you must have either the Super admin role, Admin, or the Billing Moderator role. From there, review your current FlexCredits balance and usage, then configure billing alerts or monthly budget thresholds when those controls are available in the dashboard.

Admin Capabilities ROAD-1251

[Action Required] Update your Linear Connector Authentication tokens before April 1

Linear is moving from long-lived access tokens to short-lived access tokens with refresh token support. This is a security improvement on Linear's side, and requires a quick update before April 1, 2026 to ensure your Glean-Linear connector continues to work properly.

How to access: The process should only take a few minutes. If you'd like any guidance or run into issues, don't hesitate to reach out to your Glean support team — we're here to help.

  1. In your Linear OAuth2 application settings, modify specifically the OAuth application you have used to authenticate in Glean (most likely with the application name being "Glean Application") to enable refresh token support.
  2. Once that's done, re-authenticate the Linear connector in your Glean admin console.

Learn more

Admin Capabilities ROAD-1225

Custom actions no longer send user email by default

Custom actions no longer send the authenticated user's email address to third-party endpoints by default. This reduces exposure of user identity data while preserving support for organizations that rely on it for authorization, routing, or workflow logic. If your workflows depend on this behavior, contact Glean Support to keep it enabled before April 1st.

Actions ROAD-1208

GPT 5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Opus 4.6 for Customer Key in Assistant and Agents

Customer Key admins can now configure GPT 5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Opus 4.6 for Glean Assistant and Agents, expanding access to newer premium models for stronger reasoning and long-context tasks. This gives Customer Key deployments more model choice across OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, and Amazon Bedrock, helping teams use the latest frontier models in the surfaces they rely on most. These premium models may increase usage costs compared with existing defaults.

How to access: In the Admin Console, go to Platform > LLMs, click Add LLM, choose your hosting provider, select the models you want to use for Assistant and Agents, validate the connection, and save. For Customer Key deployments, GPT 5.4 is supported via OpenAI or Azure OpenAI, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.6 are supported via Google Vertex AI or Amazon Bedrock. If you want to use a supported model in an agent, you can then select it as the default model in agent settings or for an individual step in the canvas.

Agents ROAD-1262

Databricks connector: Index Genie spaces for Search and Assistant

Glean's Databricks connector now indexes Databricks Genie spaces as searchable content, bringing Genie space metadata into Search and Assistant. This helps users find relevant Genie spaces more easily and improves Assistant routing for Databricks natural language questions. Indexed metadata includes details such as sample questions, example SQL, tables, metric views, and permissions-aware access controls.

How to access: Admins can enable this by setting up the native Databricks connector in the Glean Admin Console and connecting their Databricks account with the required OAuth credentials and workspace configuration. Once configured, the connector crawls Databricks content and validates permissions automatically during setup.

Connectors ROAD-1230

[Action Required by April 2] SharePoint Connector to switch from secret-based to certificate-based authentication

Customers using SharePoint Online with Azure ACS secrets authentication must update your authentication to Microsoft Entra ID by April 2 to continue accessing the latest data in Glean.

Microsoft is retiring the legacy Azure ACS secrets-based method for SharePoint Online authentication, which will stop updating SharePoint permissions in Glean after April 2, 2026 if not changed. Glean now supports an in-place switch for the SharePoint connector from client secret to certificate-based authentication, helping you stay compliant with Microsoft's change while keeping SharePoint permissions and content in Glean fresh and accurate. With certificate-based authentication using Microsoft Entra ID, your organization benefits from stronger, standards-based identity security and more reliable permission updates for SharePoint data in Glean.

Learn more

Connectors ROAD-1227

Mobile app access now requires Chat to be enabled

On March 31, 2026, Glean is retiring the native mobile app experience for deployments that do not have Assistant enabled. When users from these organizations open the Glean mobile app, they'll see a message explaining that mobile app access is no longer available, but can continue to access Glean from their mobile browser for search and other supported functionality, or the admin can contact their account team to enable the chat experience for the organization.

Mobile App ROAD-1198

Quickly triage AI security violations with richer context and workflows, while reducing false positives

AI security findings are now easier to review and more accurate. Security teams can quickly triage AI security violations with richer context and workflows, while backend improvements reduce noisy false positives so they can focus on real risks. This helps you focus on true AI security prompt injection, harmful content, and malicious code without drowning in unnecessary alerts.

How to access: AI security violations triage are part of Glean Protect+ AI security guardrails. To use them, ensure Protect+ is enabled for your organization, then have a Super Admin or Sensitive Content Moderator open the Protect+ or AI security area in the admin experience to review violations and configure guardrail policies. From there, they can use the violations dashboard and related filters to prioritize issues, tune policies, and refine guardrail behavior based on feedback, improving precision over time.

Protect ROAD-1105

User Features

New actions added in agents will not support customization of parameters

Glean is simplifying how new actions are introduced and maintained in Assistant and Agents. Going forward, agents will no longer support per-action parameter customization for any newly added action. Instead, these actions have use a clean, standard configuration so Glean can safely improve parameters and behavior over time without breaking existing workflows. If you need consistent parameter values (for example, always using a 30-minute meeting duration), you can still enforce this via agent-level action instructions rather than low-level parameter overrides.

How to access: To standardize how parameters are filled (for example, default durations or statuses), agent builders should use the agent's action instructions to tell Assistant how to populate those fields instead of relying on per-action parameter customization.

Learn more

Actions ROAD-1207

Agent delete flow changes

The agent deletion flow now explicitly warns that removals are permanent and non-recoverable, reducing the risk of accidental loss. To streamline management, the Delete button has been removed from the Template Library. Use the Agent Builder as the single hub for sharing and deletion.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. Admins can recover deleted agents by navigating to the Admin Console, clicking "Agents", and selecting the "Recover deleted agents" section.

Learn more

Agents ROAD-1008

Share agents with permissions groups

Share Glean agents with user groups from your connected identity provider (Azure Active Directory via O365 or Google Groups), not just with individuals or departments. This makes it easier for organizations—especially at enterprise scale—to manage who can access specific agents, speed up agent rollout, and give the right teams or communities instant access. Admins and Agent Moderators can share agents with any group from the configured IdP system. Default Members—if group sharing is enabled—can share with groups they're part of. When an agent is shared with a group, all group members get the assigned permissions (view, edit, or owner) for that agent, and group membership changes are automatically reflected in agent access.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. Admins can enable sharing agents with IdP groups by navigating to the Admin Console, clicking the "Agents" tab, and configuring the data source to be used for sharing agents with groups.

Learn more

Agents ROAD-763

Agents in Slack now respond more intelligently

Agents deployed to Slack channels now use smarter question detection to determine when to respond. Instead of relying on generic question detection, the system considers the agent's configured capabilities, conversation starters, and any user-provided instructions to decide whether to proactively respond to a message. This ensures agents trigger appropriately based on what they are designed to do, reducing false triggers and missed responses. Admins can further refine behavior by providing custom instructions for each agent's Slack deployment.

How to access: This behavior applies to agents that are published to Slack channels using a chat trigger and the standard "Publishing to Slack" flow in the Agent Builder.

To use it, publish your agent to the appropriate Slack channels from the Share dialog, ensuring the agent has clear conversation starters and scoped instructions that describe what it should handle in that channel.

Admins can continue to control where Glean responds in Slack using the existing "Enable Gleanbot to respond in channels" settings and per-channel /glean configure controls.

If your deployment uses feature flags, the new detection logic can be rolled out via the documented flags for agent question detection in Slack; once enabled, no additional per-user setup is required.

Agents ROAD-1200

Use of Nano Banana 2 in Assistant and Agents

Glean now uses Nano Banana 2 as the default image generation model in Assistant and Agents, delivering faster image generation with comparable or improved visual quality over Nano Banana Pro. The upgraded model offers significantly better capacity and throughput, reducing rate-limiting errors during peak usage. All existing image generation workflows—including inline images in Assistant, the Image Creation node in Agent Builder, and image actions in Plan & Execute agents—work seamlessly with the new model.

This feature may use credits. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

Claude Opus 4.6 in Assistant and Agents

Glean supports Claude Opus 4.6 for Glean universal model key customers on Assistant and Agents. We also offer Opus 4.6 for customer keys deployments for Glean agents (agent builder) via Vertex AI and AWS Bedrock.

Claude Opus 4.6 delivers state-of-the-art performance for agentic coding, search, and knowledge work, enabling higher-quality, longer-horizon reasoning in chat and autonomous workflows. With support for 1M-token context and improved long-context retrieval, users can tackle more complex, multi-document tasks and reduce context-rot failures in long conversations. This reinforces Glean's position as best-in-class for long-context, agentic knowledge work.

This feature may use credits. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. Glean universal model key customers can turn on model choice in Assistant and configure their models in the model hub. Customer key customers can configure models directly in model hub.

Assistant ROAD-1186

Search now can filter by Google Drive labels

Users can now filter and refine search results in Glean based on Google Drive document labels. When this feature is enabled, a "Labels" filter appears in the search experience—making it easier to find specific documents by their assigned Google Drive labels. This enhancement helps users quickly identify and differentiate internal, client-shareable, or otherwise labeled documents, streamlining information access and supporting better information governance. Search by label improves accuracy and efficiency for teams who use Google Drive labels for classification and visibility.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. Admins must enable via Admin Console → Data sources → Google Drive → Setup and turn on Drive labels / Enable Google Drive labels.

Admin Features

Admin Left Nav Enhancement

We've made some updates to Admin settings to make navigation clearer and help you get to the right controls faster. As Glean has grown, there's simply more to manage in admin. This update is designed to better organize settings so it's easier to find what you need and understand where different controls live.

We've introduced a few new categories in Admin that replace Settings including:

User and permissions — includes User management (formerly Teammates), Networking, Single sign-on, Third-party access, and Audit logs
Customization — includes Appearance
Notifications- includes alerts and email settings
What's new — includes Feature rollouts and Admin updates
We hope this update makes Admin feel more intuitive and easier to navigate as your use of Glean grows.

How to access: This update applies automatically in the Glean Admin Console — no additional setup is required. Admins will see the new left nav structure the next time they sign in and can continue using all existing settings and controls as before. If you need help locating a specific page, use the Admin Console search or refer to the Admin Guide in the Help Center.

Glean now lets admins create static OAuth clients in the Admin Console, making it easier to connect trusted applications—like internal tools or third-party apps such as Zoom—to Glean on behalf of users. By using Glean as the OAuth authorization server instead of relying on your identity provider for every integration, you can reduce setup friction between IdP and Glean admins and prepare for finer-grained, Glean-defined scopes in future Client API integrations. This update is especially valuable for organizations and partners that want a standard, secure way to obtain Glean access tokens for MCP hosts and other OAuth-capable apps.

How to access: To use static OAuth clients, first enable the Glean OAuth Authorization Server by going to the Admin Console and navigating to Settings → Third-party access (OAuth), then turning on the Glean OAuth Authorization Server. Once enabled, you can create and manage OAuth clients from this area, configuring redirect URIs and scopes according to the requirements of your internal or third-party applications. For MCP remote servers and other OAuth-enabled apps, point the client to Glean's Authorization and Token endpoints and complete a standard Authorization Code with PKCE flow to obtain access tokens.

Agent Library Enhancements: Manage categories + Verification

Agent Library now scales for organizations with hundreds or thousands of agents by turning the Agents page into a single, discovery-focused library with richer curation tools. Admins and agent moderators can create and reorder company-owned categories, add agents to multiple categories, and brand or verify “official” agents so users see a trusted, tailored catalog instead of a noisy list. End users can quickly filter by company-curated agents or Glean-provided agents and find high-quality workflows that match their role and team

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

Sunsetting speech to text dictation

We’re retiring the dictation (“Speak to Type”) button across Glean web, desktop, and mobile composers. This includes the mic icon in the home page, chat, and Conversational Agent creators. As part of this change, the dictation mic button will be removed from supported composers and users will no longer be able to start new dictation (voice‑to‑text) sessions. Existing chat and authoring flows will continue to work as normal with typed input.

We’re making this change because dictation is used by only a small fraction of Assistant users, and keeping the control adds unnecessary clutter. Removing it simplifies the experience while we focus our investment on supporting real-time voice as the primary, interactive voice experience, rather than one‑off voice‑to‑text dictation.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

Agents ROAD-1017-MR

Agent Notifications

Glean now sends notifications when an agent needs your input or when long‑running work like Deep Research finishes, so you can act without constantly checking chats or the Agent Library. You’ll see browser notifications (if enabled) and, for agent approval steps, email alerts that deep link you back to the right chat or run to review, approve, or provide missing information. This helps you unblock background agents faster, complete tasks on time, and reliably find results from async work instead of hunting through multiple screens.

How to access: For end users, notifications work automatically. You’ll see a Notifications entry in the Glean UI and will start receiving alerts for agent HITL steps and completed Deep Research runs. To turn browser/desktop notifications on or off, update notification permissions for your Glean URL in your browser settings and, if needed, in your operating system’s notification preferences. You can manage whether you get email and browser notifications for assistant and agents from Your settings → Notifications in the Glean app. If you don’t see Notifications in the left navigation, your organization may not have enabled this feature yet in the Admin Console.

Connect Glean Agents to Remote MCP Servers (MCP Host)

Glean Agents can now call tools hosted on remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, so your agents can take actions in systems like Notion, Asana, GitHub, ServiceNow, Snowflake, and more—all from within Glean. Admins and builders can plug approved third-party or internal MCP servers into agent workflows. This helps teams automate more of their workflows without rebuilding custom integrations for every system.

How to access: To use MCP servers in Glean Agents, first have a Glean admin configure the MCP servers in the Admin console under Platform → Actions, where MCP-powered integrations and templates are listed. Admins can either import an MCP server by providing its URL and metadata or use pre-set templates from the MCP registry, then connect and discover available tools and choose which tools are available to which users or groups.

Once servers and tools are configured, agent builders can open Agent Builder, create or edit an agent, and add an MCP server as part of a Plan and execute or autonomous agent step, choosing which tools from that server the agent is allowed to use. When users run the agent, it will automatically route to the configured MCP tools as needed to read data or perform write actions in connected systems.

Create Images with Glean Agents in both Workflow and Auto mode

We are releasing dedicated, governed image creation capabilities in our Agents platform across three surfaces: a dedicated node in the Agent Builder, an explicit “Generate Image” action within Plan & Execute, and native support in autonomous agents. In the Agent Builder, a configurable “Generate Image” node enables builders to define prompts, styles, aspect ratios, and image counts, draw on relevant context, and return structured outputs (image URLs plus metadata) for downstream nodes, while in Plan & Execute a dedicated action lets the planner reason explicitly about visual steps—when to generate images, how many, and which parts of the plan they support—using the same backend with quotas and fallbacks so plans can still succeed in text-only mode if image creation fails. Autonomous agents determine when visuals materially improve a task, derive prompts from artifact content, generate and embed images in the final output, and operate under clear safety, cost, and performance guardrails.

Admins have full control over which users have access to Deep Research and their usage quotas. Admins can set monthly query limits per user, restrict usage to specific users or departments, or turn off the feature entirely in Admin Console → Assistant → Deep Research. This feature is subject to usage-based pricing; for details, contact pricing@glean.com or view our Flex pricing documentation.

Customer Key customers can now access image generation in Glean Assistant

Bring your ideas to life directly in Glean Assistant with Image Generation models from Gemini & Open AI, now available for Customer Key customers on all clouds (and previously for Glean Key customers). If you’re already using image generation elsewhere, you can now do the same right inside Assistant: ask for visuals from natural language prompts, and see images show up in your chat response and artifacts.

This accelerates creative cycles and keeps iteration for drafts, diagrams, social posts, and more in one place, with prompts that can incorporate design direction from your internal documents instead of forcing you to switch tools.

Desktop App Refresh and improvements to Spotlight

The Glean desktop app now has a refreshed, modern look with a dedicated app shell that makes it easier to move and resize the window. We’ve also upgraded the desktop Spotlight (the Cmd‑Shift‑J quick entry bar) so it’s no longer just a simple input field—it now supports the full Glean Assistant chat experience, including switching between Fast and Thinking modes, choosing custom models, and generating images, all without opening the main app. This makes Spotlight a more powerful, always-available way to start or continue chats, run searches, and get work done directly from your desktop.

Note: Mac desktop refresh now available. Windows desktop app refresh will launch by March 26, 2026.

How to access: To use the updated desktop experience, download or update the Glean desktop app for macOS or Windows from your Glean settings under the desktop app installation page, then sign in with your Glean account.

Service restoration access for customer deployments

We’re introducing service restoration access to provide secure, audited, and time‑bound infrastructure-only access during rare, high‑severity incidents when normal administrative paths are unavailable for cloud-prem customers. As part of this change, we’re also moving from broad “project admin/owner” access to more granular, least‑privilege roles.

In addition, we’re deploying an isolated backend service that automatically executes pre‑approved infrastructure commands using these least‑privilege credentials—no human ever authenticates directly with this account.

In cases of service account restoration, you may see cloud audit logs labeled service restoration access. Learn more about Glean's access to customer cloud-prem deployments on the Trust Center (https://trust.glean.com/resources?s=xeeowws1dsh9xnx0n33ij\&name=glean-access-to-customer-deployments)
