Who will own your company’s AI layer? Glean’s CEO explains
The battle for the enterprise AI layer is heating up. Here's who wins.
Deep Dive
Enterprise AI is evolving from simple chatbots to systems that perform work across entire organizations. The critical question is who will own the foundational AI layer. Glean, a startup valued at $7.2 billion after a $150M raise, is positioning itself as that central "AI work assistant." It aims to connect internal systems, manage permissions, and deliver intelligence, competing directly with tech giants bundling AI into their existing enterprise suites.
Why It Matters
The company that controls this AI layer will dictate how work gets done and own the core intelligence of major enterprises.
