Episode notes
Glean's Vision Evolution
- Glean's vision evolved from enterprise search to an agent platform extending support across the entire knowledge worker journey.
- It expands from just retrieving information to synthesizing and acting on it efficiently.
Importance of Context Injection
- Models improve generally but must be infused with company-specific data to be effective.
- Injecting enterprise context into agentic systems is critical for meaningful functionality.
Defining Reasoning Agents
- Reasoning agents dynamically plan and execute tool usage to satisfy inputs, beyond linear workflows.
- They can sequence multi-step retrievals and actions, unlike static workflows with fixed execution graphs.
