Introduction

Glean companion provides seamless access to your company’s knowledge and insights directly within your browser. This floating widget contextualizes any text you highlight, allowing you to quickly understand terms, find related information, identify experts, improve your writing, summarize content, and translate text without leaving your current application or document.

  • Improve writing: Highlight a sentence or paragraph to have Glean refine and rewrite the content for grammar and clarity.
  • Summarize this: Highlight a paragraph or an entire page to generate a concise summary.
  • Translate: Translate any highlighted text into 13 different languages.
