## Example workflows

### Create an internal briefing

- Your input: A topic and approved company sources.
- Possible result: A briefing grounded in internal sources.
- What to check: Check source freshness and recipient permissions.

### Coordinate processing

- Your input: A trigger and defined steps in connected systems.
- Possible result: A coordinated workflow with traceable handoffs.
- What to check: Check failures, approvals and logs.

## Requirements and limits

### Enterprise access

Requirement: Entry is through a demo and sales; data connections require setup.

Source: https://www.glean.com/get-a-demo

### Prepare data and permissions

Requirement: Agent context depends on connected sources and their access permissions.

Source: https://www.glean.com/ai-agents

### Contract and allowances

Not yet confirmed: License scope, allowances and prices must be clarified with the provider.

## A good fit if …

- your organisation wants agents to use knowledge from many connected apps
- admins should control which write actions run in the background and who publishes agents
- you need scheduled agents with run history and audit logs

## Less suitable if …

- you want to start without a contract or demo; pricing is on request only
- you are an individual without admin structure, since the controls assume roles

Editorial assessment based on provider documentation. Not a product test.

## Usable AI models

Fixed choice across providers

Admins decide which models from the Glean catalogue are available; in Agent Builder these are the ones enabled for agents. This works through Glean's key or your own keys, which are then tied to your cloud. The checked pages do not mention custom endpoints or local models.

- Model families named: OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), Amazon (Nova), DeepSeek, Z.ai (GLM), Moonshot (Kimi), Nvidia (Nemotron)
- Model choice: Automatic or your choice
- Your own API key: Yes
- Router or custom endpoint: Not stated
- Local models: Not stated
- Depends on: Admin approval

## Europe & regional availability

Official product and regional sources reviewed. The stated open points still require confirmation from the provider.

Reviewed scope: Product access, feature limits and regional evidence
Reviewed on: 2026-10-19

### Europe: specific availability unconfirmed

Availability still unclear

Glean documents agents and regional partner sales. Some features depend on deployment: memory is available for GCP with Glean Universal Key; AWS and Azure require additional readiness approval. A complete European country matrix remains unconfirmed.

Region covered: EU/EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Documented reason: The reviewed sources do not provide a complete list of supported countries for this.

## Accounts & permissions

Based on provider documentation. Permissions depend on the account, integration and organization policies. Review the permissions actually requested before use.

Configuration covered: Glean Agents in an enterprise workspace, interactive and scheduled runs
Sources reviewed: 2026-11-05

### Account used

Documented with conditions: By default an agent runs under the identity of the user who invokes it. Alternatively an admin can set up an agent identity with a registered service credential, so the agent runs with the same fixed permissions for every invoker.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/security/agents/background-agents
Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/administration/agent-identity/overview

### Admin approval

Documented: Admins control which write tools may run in the background without confirmation; a setting for default members governs who can share and publish agents. Moderators review agents before publication. An admin must register service credentials in the admin console before builders can attach them to agents.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/security/agents/background-agents
Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/administration/agent-identity/overview

### Data access & team sharing

Documented with conditions: Access is enforced at execution time against the identity of the person executing the agent, not its creator. With an agent identity, the admin sets the credential's scope, which is the maximum access. Moderators can limit who may subscribe to an agent.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/security/agents/background-agents
Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/administration/agent-identity/overview

## Prices and included usage

Pricing checked: 2026-10-12

Price on request; no public amount in the reviewed sources.

The reviewed product and demo pages provide no specific plan price.

## Operation & oversight

Based on public provider documentation. Assessments are editorial inferences from the stated properties. Actual time requirements and reliability have not been measured.

Deployment covered: Cloud platform; scheduled background runs and interactive use considered
Sources reviewed: 2026-11-05

### Files and working state

Documented with conditions: Each subscription keeps its own saved inputs, which every scheduled run uses. The page does not say whether conversation context carries over between runs.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/agents/concepts/schedule-triggers

### Sign-ins

Documented with conditions: Certain configuration changes deactivate subscriptions, and each subscriber must manually reactivate the agent. A service credential does not depend on anyone's session; an admin can replace it with new credentials or revoke it, after which the agent loses access immediately.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/security/agents/background-agents
Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/administration/agent-identity/overview
Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/agents/concepts/schedule-triggers

### Starting further runs

Documented: Agents start manually or on a schedule with start date, time, time zone and repeat frequency. Each user can have up to 10 active background agents; the exact start time can vary when many agents are scheduled together.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/agents/concepts/schedule-triggers

### Human intervention

Documented with conditions: Scheduled runs have no per-run confirmation. Write tools that need confirmation are blocked from background runs. Moderators review inputs, tools and triggers before publishing.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/security/agents/background-agents

### Detecting errors

Documented: Runs appear under Chats with the Agents or Automations filter, and details can be opened. Admin audit logs and event logs exist, and audit logs can be streamed to SIEM tools. Subscribers receive emails about agent changes and an in-app banner when saved inputs need updating.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/agents/concepts/schedule-triggers
Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/security/agents/background-agents

### Resuming after failures

Open in reviewed sources: The reviewed page does not describe automatic retries. Deleted or blank inputs are passed with their original value as context; scheduled runs have a maximum end-to-end duration. Paused subscriptions are reactivated manually.

Evidence: https://docs.glean.com/agents/concepts/schedule-triggers

### Editorial assessment

Operating it needs admin roles for background permissions and service credentials, moderators for publishing, and someone who watches runs and audit logs. Users must reactivate deactivated subscriptions individually.

## Memory and conversation continuity

Scope: User personalization and separate agent-step memory
Sources accessed: 2026-11-04

Saved and daily learned memories complement short-lived workflow context.

### Storage and scope

Partly documented: Glean stores user-specific saved and learned memories; specific database technology is not named.

- [Memory personalization](https://docs.glean.com/user-guide/assistant/memory-personalization)
- [Memory administration](https://docs.glean.com/administration/assistant/configuration/memory-personalization)

### Selection and timing

Documented: Explicit remember requests save directly; learned memory updates daily from activities and conversations when enabled.

- [Memory personalization](https://docs.glean.com/user-guide/assistant/memory-personalization)
- [Memory administration](https://docs.glean.com/administration/assistant/configuration/memory-personalization)

### Inspect, edit and delete

Documented: Users can inspect, edit and delete memories or request forgetting; deleted content is excluded from future updates.

- [Memory personalization](https://docs.glean.com/user-guide/assistant/memory-personalization)

### Agent and channel boundaries

Documented: Personalization is private per user; agent access depends on configuration. Workflow-step state has separate boundaries.

- [Memory personalization](https://docs.glean.com/user-guide/assistant/memory-personalization)
- [Agent memory concepts](https://docs.glean.com/agents/concepts/memory)

### Retrieval

Partly documented: Answers can show used memory sources; step memory passes preceding outputs by default. Long-term ranking remains unspecified.

- [Memory personalization](https://docs.glean.com/user-guide/assistant/memory-personalization)
- [Agent memory concepts](https://docs.glean.com/agents/concepts/memory)

### Session reset and compaction

Partly documented: Saved memory remains until deletion; workflow context is separately bounded. A common conversation-compaction rule is undocumented.
