User features
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Agents ROAD-1445
Persistent permissions for tool use
You can now control exactly how Glean uses your connected tools with persistent permissions. Set any action to "Always Allow," "Ask," or "Block" — and your preference sticks across every session, whether you are in Assistant, Agents, or MCP. A new Connectors pane in your settings gives you a single place to see which apps you have connected, manage authentication, and fine-tune permissions for each tool individually.
Agents ROAD-1368
Dictation in Assistant composer
You can now use your voice to compose messages in Glean Assistant. Dictation is back with a redesigned experience and a significantly upgraded transcription model supporting 98 languages — with high-accuracy results for dozens including English, Spanish, Chinese, and many more. Tap the microphone icon in the composer on web, desktop, or mobile, speak naturally, and your words appear as editable text. Perfect for capturing long thoughts, drafting on the go, or working in your preferred language.
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.

Save chats started from the Glean browser extension sidebar in chat history
Chats started from the Glean browser extension sidebar can now be saved in chat history, making it easier to revisit in-context conversations across sessions. This reduces repeated questions and gives users a more consistent experience between the extension and the main Glean chat experience. It is intended for end users of the browser extension.

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.

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.
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.
