Glean is genuinely good at this.

Libra uses the access your organisation gives it. A connection doesn't mean everyone suddenly sees everything.

  • Enterprise search

    Glean's roots are in enterprise search, and that remains one of its clearest strengths.

  • Organisational context

    Glean connects information across enterprise systems and builds context around people, content and work.

  • Enterprise AI

    Glean has expanded beyond search into assistants, agents and broader Work AI capabilities.

Why choose Libra

  • You want AI to finish the job.

    WorkBase is designed around what happens after the answer: creating the email, updating the CRM, preparing the report, routing the ticket, or moving a workflow forward.

  • You want one context layer for people & AI.

    The same company knowledge can power Search, Assistants, WorkBase and Agents.

  • Ask about what's on your screen. Then tell it what to do.

    Libra Desktop sits on top of the app you are already in, so the same context layer can read what you are looking at and act on it across your stack.

Glean isn't the only alternative worth a look.

Each one is the stronger fit for a different shape of work. Here is where to read the rest of the comparison.
