Amazon and Google Take Another Stab at Being Glean

It’s been nearly a year since we scooped the news that OpenAI, Google, Snowflake and Cohere were all working on artificial intelligence search products similar to the one startup Glean made a big splash with. Glean’s AI-powered search lets workers at companies easily find emails, Slack messages and other data scattered across business applications. As we said at the time, it seemed like everyone was trying to be like Glean. 

Well, guess what? Everyone is still trying to be like Glean! That’s our takeaway from AI product announcements Amazon and Google made today, revealing that both tech giants have sprinkled some new AI features into their existing enterprise software products. Now they are bundling their enterprise search products with new AI features and pitching them as a way for businesses to equip all of their employees with AI.
