In fast-paced engineering environments, even small delays in finding the right information can impact delivery timelines. Developers lose time context-switching, searching across tools, and waiting on others for answers. Glean changes that by making institutional knowledge accessible with one simple query.
By integrating directly with the platforms engineers already use—GitHub, Confluence, Jira, Stack Overflow, Slack, and more—Glean ensures your team spends less time digging and more time building.
The Challenges Engineering Teams Face Every Day
From triaging bugs to collaborating across teams, engineers face mounting complexity:
-
Information is fragmented across repos, tickets, docs, and chat threads
-
Developers rely on tribal knowledge that’s undocumented
-
Debugging often starts from scratch due to lack of visibility into prior fixes
-
Onboarding takes too long—new hires struggle to find code context and standards
-
Constant switching between GitHub, Jira, and Docs kills focus and flow
When valuable time is spent searching instead of shipping, team velocity suffers.
Glean: The Developer's AI-Powered Assistant
Glean removes the friction from engineering workflows by giving your team natural language access to collective knowledge. Whether debugging a critical error or picking up a new project, engineers can move faster with confidence.
Accelerate Code Reviews and Pull Requests
Pull requests are key to shipping high-quality code. Glean helps:
-
Surface historical context behind code decisions or architecture changes
-
Search documentation related to a pull request across multiple systems
-
Use prompts to outline next steps or code checklists
With Glean, devs understand what’s changed, why it changed, and what’s expected—without relying on Slack back-and-forths.
Debug Faster with AI-Enhanced Search
When incidents arise, speed is everything. Glean empowers engineers to:
-
Search for known issues using error messages or logs
-
Discover how peers solved similar bugs via integrated Jira or Slack threads
-
Build Glean Apps to guide on-call engineers through structured triage workflows
No more reinventing the wheel. Let Glean surface what worked last time—and who to contact if deeper help is needed.
Cross-Team Collaboration Made Seamless
Modern engineering rarely happens in silos. Glean streamlines collaboration by:
-
Linking related Jira tickets, Slack threads, and documentation into one view
-
Helping teams share their project collections and internal tools
-
Using go/links and prompt libraries to standardise repeatable dev tasks
Engineers can now collaborate across functions without being slowed down by tool sprawl.
Onboard New Engineers in Record Time
Hiring engineers is tough—onboarding them shouldn’t be. Glean accelerates ramp-up by:
-
Giving new hires access to curated onboarding collections
-
Surfacing project history, team standards, and tooling guidance instantly
-
Empowering self-service with prompt libraries for daily tasks
The result? Engineers who contribute faster and feel confident from day one.
