User features

Store memories in Glean from any MCP-connected tool

Connected MCP host applications such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Copilot can now write memories back to Glean in addition to reading them. You can add, update, and delete memories from any MCP-connected tool, and those memories are stored in Glean with full source provenance. This means the context you build while working in your IDE or AI assistant is available everywhere Glean memory is used. Admins can enable or disable memory write operations per deployment in Admin console → Platform → Glean MCP server.

How to access: Memory write operations are enabled by default on the Glean MCP server. No additional setup is required.

Assistant ROAD-1261

New Google and Microsoft actions

Glean Assistant can now help you complete more work across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, so you can move from answers to action without switching tools. You can draft emails, create docs and spreadsheets, and send messages in the apps your team already uses, helping you finish common workflows like status updates, stakeholder communications, and tracker updates faster. Admins must first configure the relevant action packs for Google, Microsoft 365, and Slack before these options appear for users.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. Admins must enable the relevant action packs in Admin console → Platform → Actions before users can access these capabilities. To support Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Gmail drafts, set up Google actions and connect the Google Drive data source. To support Outlook, Word, Excel, and Microsoft Teams actions, set up Microsoft 365 actions and link them to your Microsoft 365 data source; some Microsoft environments will require admin consent before users can connect successfully.

Actions ROAD-1194

Update Salesforce opportunities from Glean Assistant

Sales teams can now update Salesforce opportunities directly from Glean Assistant using natural language, without switching into the Salesforce app. When a user asks Assistant to change key opportunity fields—such as amount, stage, close date, or forecast category—Assistant identifies the correct record, collects any missing details in a structured way, and writes the updates back to Salesforce while honoring the user's permissions. Assistant then confirms the change and links to the updated opportunity so sellers can review and move on to their next task faster.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. To use Salesforce opportunity write actions, your organization must have the Salesforce data source connected in Glean with API access to Opportunities and related objects, using the standard Salesforce connector. In the Glean Admin console, go to Platform → Actions and ensure the Salesforce action pack and the Update Opportunity write action are enabled for your deployment. End users will need to authenticate their own Salesforce account in Glean when prompted, so Assistant can respect per-user Salesforce permissions for viewing and updating opportunities. Once configured, users can simply ask Glean Assistant to update an opportunity in plain language and confirm the proposed changes in chat.

Learn more

Actions ROAD-1156

Editing for slides and image collections

You can now edit slides and image collections by annotating exactly what you want changed and asking Glean to regenerate the result with AI. Mark up a single image or a full set, describe the change in plain language, and get updated visuals without starting from scratch.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

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

Learn more

Assistant ROAD-1402

Manually refresh interactive artifacts

You can now manually refresh interactive content in Glean to update the underlying data while keeping the existing layout and design intact. This is especially useful for dashboards and other data-driven pages that need fresh information without rebuilding the page from scratch. Each refresh creates a new version and shows when the content was last refreshed.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

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

Assistant ROAD-1343

Glean Assistant Meeting Notes

Glean Assistant Meeting Notes captures and transcribes your meetings, then generates an AI summary with key decisions and action items after the meeting. Transcripts and summaries are indexed in Glean and surfaceable through search and chat. It's designed to reduce the manual work of note-taking, speed up follow-ups, and help teams get answers to difficult questions without losing momentum in the conversation.

This is a desktop Mac-only feature available for Glean Key customers. Admins can control the rollout of this feature to their end users from Admin console → Assistant → Meeting Notes. The default setting lets Glean manage the rollout: "Meeting Notes" is off by default and will be turned on for users no earlier than June 8, 2026. We recommend starting with "On only for admins"; if you like it, you can turn it on for everyone in your organization at any time, or select "Off" to opt out. Your choice can be changed at any time and will not be overwritten. This feature may use credits. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. We enabled admin configuration on May 7, 2026. Admins will be able to opt in.

We'll notify admins on May 20, 2026 about the feature and that they can opt in. GA and billing start for customers who opt in starting May 21, 2026.

We will default enable anyone who did not disable during the notice period on June 8, 2026.

This applies only to desktop users on Mac.

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

Assistant ROAD-769

Azure DevOps repository, pull requests, and code indexing

Glean now indexes Azure DevOps repositories, code files, commits, and pull requests, so engineering teams can search code and use Assistant to find relevant files, recent changes, and PR context in one place. This also adds permission-aware crawling for Azure DevOps code content using native project and repository ACLs.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. In the Glean Admin console, open your Azure DevOps data source and review any setup warnings or validation alerts to make sure the service principal has been granted access to repositories. If you use Microsoft 365 identity mapping for Azure DevOps permissions, make sure your O365 connector is configured and healthy so indexed content appears correctly in search.

Connectors ROAD-1246

Glean Assistant can now query Snowflake with natural language

Glean Assistant can now query Snowflake directly so users can ask questions in natural language or run SQL against approved projects and datasets, without leaving Assistant. This makes Glean a front door to your Snowflake data warehouse so business users get governed, self-serve access to live data while data teams stay in control of what is exposed and how it is queried.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

Assistant ROAD-1456

Greenlist application URLs for functional buttons in HTML artifacts

Interactive artifacts can now include functional buttons that link directly to your work applications — like Google Docs, Salesforce, Jira, or any other approved application. When you generate an interactive page with action buttons, those buttons actually take you to the tool where you need to act. Non-approved applications will still be accessible after a user clicks through a confirmation modal.

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

Embedded Integrations ROAD-1126

Admin features

LLM admin refresh for Glean Key customers

Admins get a clearer, more precise way to manage model availability for Glean Key deployments, including per-model toggles and surface-specific restrictions for Assistant and Agents. This improves governance for model access and makes the admin experience easier to understand and operate.

Learn more

Admin Capabilities ROAD-1404

MCP insights

Admins can now see how their organization is using Glean MCP directly in Insights, with visibility into adoption and activity across connected MCP hosts and tools. This helps teams understand which apps are driving value, identify active users, and track MCP usage without relying on manual reporting or backend logs. This feature is for admins only.

How to access: Open the Insights page in the Glean Admin experience to view MCP usage and adoption data. No additional setup is required beyond having Glean MCP enabled for your deployment. If MCP has not been enabled yet, first turn on the Glean OAuth Authorization Server under Users and permissions → Third-party access (OAuth), then enable Glean MCP server under Platform → Glean MCP server.

Learn more

Admin Capabilities ROAD-1329

Turn slide generation default on for all users

Slide generation in Assistant will be enabled by default for all customers no earlier than June 8, 2026. To keep it off or limit access, select "Off" or "On only for admins". Your choice will be respected, and you can change it anytime. If you have already enabled slide generation "On", no action is needed.

If your company has a slide template configured, Glean will use it automatically. If not, Glean will take styling inspiration from your company's existing visual assets so decks still feel on-brand.

How to access: Admins can access this toggle by navigating to Admin console → Assistant → Settings → Slide deck generation.

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

Assistant ROAD-1377

Admin Features

Merge Microsoft 365 connector set up

Admins can now set up Microsoft 365 connectors for SharePoint and OneDrive through a shared Microsoft 365 setup flow, which reduces duplicate configuration and makes setup easier to manage.

This change is for admins only and currently applies to SharePoint and OneDrive only — Outlook and Teams are not included in this launch.

The new flow introduces shared/common settings at the Microsoft 365 level, while SharePoint- and OneDrive-specific configuration remains in their respective child setup flows.

Admins should be prepared to complete the Microsoft 365 parent setup first, then finish any SharePoint- or OneDrive-specific permissions and settings needed for each connector.

How to access: In the Admin Console, start with the new Microsoft 365 connector setup, which now acts as the shared parent setup for SharePoint and OneDrive.

After completing the Microsoft 365 setup, finish configuration for SharePoint and/or OneDrive in their child setup flows, including any connector-specific permissions, domains, certificates, or REST API setup required for your environment.

If you already use SharePoint or OneDrive, review the updated setup documentation because credentials and shared authentication are now handled through the Microsoft 365 parent flow rather than as fully separate standalone setups.

Admin Capabilities [ROAD-997]

Sensitive content models: Find the signal in the noise

Glean’s sensitive content models separate the signal from the noise by pairing traditional infotype detection with AI models trained on your full enterprise context, such as document content and permissions, to surface true exposure. Each finding receives a low/medium/high severity label with plain-language explanations. Our sensitive content models reduce false positives and achieve about 80% accuracy rate on unstructured data. Both GCP and AWS are supported.

How to access: Available in Glean Protect+. Super admins or Sensitive Content Moderators can go to Admin Console → Glean Protect → Sensitive findings → Policies, then create or edit a policy and select Enable document analysis.

User Features

Auto mode agents powered by natural language

Auto Mode agents are now generally available, featuring a redesigned natural language agent builder where you simply describe what you want, answer a few guided questions, and reach a testable first draft faster than ever — with full control to refine as you iterate. This release also introduces debug and trace views for step-by-step visibility into agent behavior, and an agent sandbox for dynamic context management and code execution on complex tasks. From idea to production-ready agent, faster — with more power, transparency, and flexibility built in from the start.

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

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

Agents [ROAD-730]

Nested Container Search in Chat/Agents

Chat and Agents can now search within tagged folders, spaces, sites, and other containers more effectively, including content nested inside subfolders. This helps users get more complete, relevant answers from large containers without having to sift through top-level contents first, and improves performance by focusing only on matching documents. This applies to Assistant (Chat with AL), Agents Plan and Execute, Agents Autonomous mode, and the Agents Company Search step. It does not change Chat V2 or workflow agents.

How to access: Once this feature is available in your environment, users can start tagging supported container URLs in Chat or using supported container sources in eligible Agent steps. If your team manages custom search configuration, make sure co.gsto.enable_container_filter is enabled. No other admin setup is required.

Learn more

Agents [ROAD-1362]

View images in Assistant and Agents for custom datasources

Assistant and Agents can now caption, index, and render images from content ingested through custom data sources, not just native connectors. This helps people get more complete answers from proprietary document repositories when diagrams, charts, screenshots, or other visuals are important to understanding the source content.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization.

Learn more

Agents [ROAD-1314]

Assistant [ROAD-1288]

Blocked Chat Status Indicator

Chat status indicators make it easier to keep work moving in Glean by showing which conversations need your attention, including chats with new updates, chats that are ready for review, and chats where an agent is waiting on your confirmation or additional input. This helps users quickly return to long-running or asynchronous work when results are ready.

Learn more

Assistant [ROAD-1367]

See step-by-step elapsed time in Assistant plans

Glean Assistant now shows the elapsed time for each step while it works through a multi-step plan, so you can better understand progress and how long each part of a task takes. This makes longer-running work more transparent and helps you decide whether to wait, redirect, or refine the request. This is available to all end users in Assistant when a plan is shown for complex, multi-step queries in Thinking mode.

How to access: No setup is required. The elapsed time appears automatically in Glean Assistant when a complex query triggers a plan in Thinking mode.

Embedded Integrations [ROAD-1111]

Admin Features

Add Glean usage logging across GCE and Insights

Admins can now track Glean usage more consistently across Glean Customer Event Logs and Insights, making it easier to audit activity, analyze adoption, and answer questions about who used Glean, when, and where. Glean Customer Event Logs are designed to capture key user actions for analytics and reporting, including searches, chats, feedback, and workflow activity. This improves visibility for reporting, debugging, and downstream analysis across Glean surfaces.

How to access: Admins can use Glean Customer Event Logs to analyze usage activity and build custom reporting workflows. By default, these logs are written as a unified glean-customer-event stream to storage in your Glean project, and are typically loaded into a data warehouse such as BigQuery or Athena for analysis. Admins can also use Insights in the Admin console to review adoption and usage trends, including the Overview tab and Insights chat for natural-language analysis of platform usage.

Admin Capabilities [ROAD-1281]

Add IdP-level permissions for Agent Scheduling

Admins can now control access to Agent Scheduling with identity provider groups, not just individual users. In Admin console → Platform → Agents → Scheduled triggers, you can add Google Groups or Azure AD / Entra ID groups alongside individual users, so the right teams can schedule agents without manual user-by-user setup.

How to access: To use this feature, go to Admin console → Platform → Agents → Scheduled triggers and turn scheduled triggers on for everyone or some users. If you choose a limited rollout, add individual users or supported IdP groups from Google Groups or Azure AD / Entra ID to the access list; members of those groups will inherit scheduling access automatically.

If your scheduled agents need to send outputs automatically, also configure the relevant action packs to allow Run without user confirmation for agents; otherwise, background runs can't use those actions.

Learn more

Admin Capabilities [ROAD-1219]

Model Insights for Customer Key Admins (BYOK)

Customer Key admins can now use LLM Insights in Glean to monitor Glean-attributed LLM usage and reliability, helping them provision capacity and troubleshoot issues with more confidence. The dashboard shows key metrics like peak and average TPM, peak RPM, 429 rate, and 5xx rate, with model-level breakdowns so admins can distinguish quota pressure from provider instability faster.

This release is available only for Customer Key (BYOK) deployments in v1, and it is not available for Glean Key deployments. Data updates once daily, may be delayed by up to 24 hours, and is intended for trend analysis and capacity planning rather than real-time monitoring or billing reconciliation.

Learn more

Assistant [ROAD-1280]

Glean Agentic Search Model [Glean Key, Glean Hosted Only]

Glean's Agentic Search Model is a retrieval-optimized model that runs before the frontier model on eligible Assistant queries. It first gathers the most relevant enterprise context, then passes that evidence to the frontier model so responses are faster, better grounded, and more efficient.

In testing, this architecture delivered roughly 50% lower latency with no regression in answer quality or satisfaction.

Available for customers hosted by Glean on GCP using the Glean Universal Model Key. Not applicable to AWS, Azure, customer-managed key deployments, or EU customers.

Learn more

Assistant [ROAD-1250]

Agent alignment check for write actions

Glean Protect now has an agent alignment check before agent write actions run, helping detect unsafe or misaligned actions before they can make changes in connected systems. This strengthens protection for higher-risk agent workflows, especially background and automatically triggered agents, where write actions can run without per-run approval. When configured in flag-for-review mode, potential violations are logged in the Findings dashboard so admins can investigate without interrupting the run.

How to access: Admins can manage AI security policies in the Admin console under Glean Protect → AI security → Policies. From there, they can choose which agent types a policy applies to, including Automatically triggered agents, and set the enforcement action to Flag for review so issues appear in the Findings tab for triage.

Protect [ROAD-811]

User Features

In-line previews for write actions in Assistant

Assistant now shows a richer in-line preview before a write action runs, so users can quickly understand what will happen before they create, update, or post anything. The preview surfaces key parameters in a compact, human-readable card and uses a clearer action button such as Create, Update, or Post, which makes actions feel more transparent, predictable, and safer to use without breaking conversation flow.

How to access: Write actions in Glean let users complete tasks like creating tickets, updating records, sending messages, or exporting content directly from a conversation. In the Glean web app, write actions can pause for review before they run, and for supported actions users can review and edit fields or content inline before saving the change. Access depends on your organization having the relevant actions enabled and authenticated in the Glean Admin console, and actions always respect the user's existing permissions in the connected application.

Assistant [ROAD-1323]

Import Memory to Glean from other AI Providers

You can now bring work-related preferences, role context, active projects, and communication habits from other AI assistants into Glean, so Assistant can personalize responses faster without making you start from scratch. Users can open Settings, go to Personalization, copy Glean's import prompt, paste it into another AI assistant, then paste the response back into Glean to save imported memories. Imported memories are reviewed and written into Glean's memory system, where users can later view or delete them from Personalization. Fast mode is not supported for this flow.

How to access: Open Glean, go to Settings, and select Personalization. Use the import option to copy Glean's prompt into another AI assistant, then paste that assistant's response back into Glean to add work-related memories. No admin setup is required beyond having memory enabled for your organization.

Agent Sandbox & Programmatic Tool Calling [Customer-Hosted on GCP, AWS]

Agent sandbox and programmatic tool calling are now available for customer-hosted deployments in AWS and GCP. In Thinking mode, Glean Assistant can perform secure code-backed analysis, large result retrieval, and multi-step reasoning while keeping execution and data inside the customer's cloud environment. Programmatic tool calling lets Glean orchestrate large numbers of tools for parallel research tasks by writing and executing code in a sandbox.

How to access: After setup, Glean Assistant Thinking mode automatically activates sandbox when a query benefits from code execution, exhaustive retrieval, or structured analysis. For best results, use a supported frontier model such as GPT 5.4 or later, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6 or later, or Gemini 3.1 Pro.

Add, find, and revisit content in the library

The library is a new dedicated tab for everything you've created and saved in Glean. It replaces the Content section in the left navigation with a single, searchable surface for all your documents, slides, images, emails, interactive pages, Collections, Pins, and Go Links. You can also discover content that teammates have shared with you or your organization.

How it works: Open the library from the left navigation to browse everything in one place. Filter by type to narrow results, or search to find a specific item. Clicking any item opens it in context with its original conversation.

Content created with Assistant is retained indefinitely, until a user deletes it from the library. This content includes artifacts such as documents, slides, emails, and images.

This does not apply to standard chat responses, where your organization's chat retention period still applies. The library help page on docs.glean.com will include a full description of content types when the library reaches GA.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Assistant 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.

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.

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.
