Glean Expanding Ecosystem Through Partnerships

Glean, a work AI platform, recently announced a series of product and ecosystem updates designed for operationalizing AI agents across the enterprise. 

These new updates include collaborations with Dell and Workday, as well as integrations with Palo Alto Networks and Snowflake.

Along with this announcement, the company also expanded its Glean Agents, an open, horizontal environment for building, deploying, orchestrating, and governing AI agents at work.

Glean and Dell partner on on-prem deployment

Through a strategic collaboration with Dell Technologies, the two organizations are partnering to deliver the first on-premises deployment architecture for Glean’s Work AI platform.

The deployment will run on Dell’s AI Factory infrastructure and enable enterprises to securely deploy Glean’s enterprise search and AI agents within their own data centers. It combines the security of on-prem deployment with SaaS-like agility and scale.

“With Glean’s platform now delivering over 100 million agent actions each year, we know what it takes to make AI work at scale,” said Arvind Jain, Founder & CEO of Glean. “By collaborating with Dell Technologies, we’re working to bring that power on-premises to give enterprises the control, security, and performance they need to unlock real value from AI.”

Glean and Workday team up on interoperable AI agents

By joining forces, Workday — an AI platform for managing people, money, and agents — and Glean are working to enable agent-to-agent collaboration that will seamlessly exchange information and initiate actions across both organizations’ platforms to streamline HR and finance workflows.

Workday’s HR and finance platform will combine with Glean’s enterprise-wide insights to enable joint customers to gain greater insights and context into HR and finance tasks.

“Interoperability is core to our vision for enterprise AI agents — agents that can work across systems, not just within them,” said Tamar Yehoshua, President of Product & Technology at Glean. “We are excited about the transformation that Glean and Workday can deliver together, enabling agents to connect insights and actions across platforms so work flows more seamlessly across the tools our customers rely on every day.”

Glean partners with Palo Alto Networks to secure AI agents

Glean and Palo Alto Networks are partnering to secure and accelerate the use of AI agents in the enterprise.

Through new integrations to Palo Alto Networks Prisma AIRS and Prisma Access Browser and AI Access, Glean customers will receive enhanced visibility and control over AI agent operations and interactions with sensitive enterprise data. These integrations will enable innovation without sacrificing trust, security, or compliance.

“At Glean, we’ve always believed that security isn’t an add-on — it’s foundational to scalable AI,” said Jain. “With Glean’s platform delivering over 100 million agent-actions per year, it’s clear that AI is central to how work gets done. As agents take on greater responsibility across the enterprise, together with Palo Alto Networks, Glean meets the highest standards of protection, while continuing to push the limits of what AI can accomplish at work.”

The new integration of Prisma AIRS with Glean’s platform offers secure AI adoption at scale with Runtime Security to protect against real-world threats and ensure agile AI adoption. Additionally, it provides cloud data governance Posture Management that unifies SaaS data governance across the 100+ connected SaaS applications in Glean.

Glean and Snowflake to partner on structured data insights 

Through a strategic collaboration with Snowflake, Glean is working to simplify and accelerate structured data analysis for enterprises.

Glean will now integrate directly with Snowflake Cortex Analyst and enable users and agents to query structured data stored in their Snowflake environment directly from Glean using natural language or SQL. 

Joint customers will benefit from this collaboration by receiving immediate access to Snowflake insights with no SQL expertise required: gain complete context from all enterprise data from platforms such as Gmail, Google Drive, Jira, and Slack; attain faster, smarter decision-making across sales, marketing, support, and engineering; and automate insights in business processes to enable the creation of complex analysis workflows.

“We believe every employee should be able to ask a question and get an answer — no technical skills required, no time lost waiting — regardless of where that data lives,” said Yehoshua. “With our support for Snowflake Cortex Analyst, we’re working with Snowflake to close the gap between data and decisions, empowering organizations to work smarter, faster, and with full context.”
