One weird thing about OpenAI’s recent funding round is that it asked investors not to invest in a handful of companies, including one called Glean. What’s Glean? I had to find out.

Their online profile says: “Glean was founded by a seasoned team of former Google search engineers and industry veterans, who wondered why we don’t have an easier way to find what we need at work.”

Here’s what they do:

➡️ TIME SAVINGS: Glean offers an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps businesses retrieve data from various sources more efficiently, claiming to save employees up to 110 hours annually.

➡️ ONBOARDING EFFICIENCY: It also claims to reduce onboarding time by 36 hours per new hire and decrease IT support requests by 20%.

➡️ FAST ROI: Glean reports that companies can make back their investment in under six months.

Do OpenAI investor restrictions on Glean mean it’s worth a deeper look at this player in the rapidly evolving AI-driven enterprise solutions market?
