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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Engineering teams using Glean report:
Less time spent searching, more time writing and reviewing code
Faster issue resolution, especially during on-call rotations
Shorter onboarding cycles for new developers
Higher-quality output through deeper codebase understanding
Create a prompt library for key dev workflows: branching, testing, deployment
Build collections around tech debt, common bugs, and refactoring initiatives
Link go/commands directly to your documentation and toolkits using Glean Apps
If your engineering team is drowning in tabs and tribal knowledge, it’s time to centralise how they access the answers they need. Glean unlocks the clarity, confidence, and speed your devs deserve.
