Glean: The Intuitive Work Assistant for Chrome
Glean is a free Chrome extension developed by Glean Work. It serves as a work assistant with intuitive features, allowing users to easily search across all their company's apps to find exactly what they need.
With Glean's new tab page, users can quickly access anything or navigate to any document with just a single click. The extension also provides a seamless integration with the user's calendar, allowing them to view events and join meetings without any hassle. Additionally, users can explore documents that are trending within their team, ensuring they stay up-to-date with the latest information.
One of the standout features of Glean is the ability to search from anywhere on the web. By using the Command+J shortcut, users can open the Glean sidebar and get search results across all their tools without losing their place. They can even highlight text and right-click to search directly from any webpage.
Glean also offers power search boxes in other tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Google Drive. This means users can seamlessly find what they need without having to change their workflow.
To enhance user workflow even further, Glean allows users to search directly from the URL bar by typing "gl" followed by a space.
It's important to note that Glean connects with dozens of popular workplace apps like Google Drive, Jira, Confluence, and Slack. However, users need to have an account created by their company admin to use this extension.
