I was really confused and surprised that Meta was using a commercial product for indexing instead of building in-house...until I realized that they weren't talking about the AI search indexing tool at glean.com



glean.com is pretty awesome. The responses it generates will have citations from our internal Jira, Wiki, Slack, Github, etc.

It's also great for when I get pulled into a busy Slack channel and need a summary of what's been going on in there for the past week.


I'm a little bit confused is it the opensource that searches also in jira, wiki, slack, ..? https://github.com/facebookincubator/glean ?


I'm also confused, the link you shared is more akin to a sourcegraph alternative; but the parent is talking as if it's an LLM.

I'm going to guess that there are to completely unrelated products that share a name.

glean.com and your link (glean.software).


What's the pricing on it? Everything I see is "contact us".


Glean.com? We had an intro meeting with them, pricing only makes sense if you're in a first world country and have 100+ or maybe 150+ employees.

I recall pricing started at 50k USD per year but may be remembering incorrectly. Please take this with a grain of salt as they may have changed their pricing models or whatever - I just get really annoyed at the "contact us" stuff so thought I'd try to help out here.


Yeah this naming is questionable. This definitely introduces confusion in the minds of consumers but I'm not sure if it's actionable. Any lawyers want to give some "I am not your lawyer" opinions?


Meta's tool was started by at least August 2021. The Glean commercial product wasn't launched until September 2021.


It is a high burden to get a trademark on a 5 letter common English word. Usually can only be awarded after years in use and large popularity.
