Who will own your company’s AI layer? The CEO of Glean explains | TechCrunch

Enterprise AI is rapidly moving from chatbots that answer questions to systems that actually do work across the organization. But who will own the AI ​​layer that powers it all?

Glean, which started as an enterprise search product, has evolved into what it calls an “AI workplace assistant,” which aims to sit beneath other AI experiences, connecting to internal systems, managing permissions and providing information wherever employees work. Investors are buying into that vision, too — the startup raised $150 million last year at a $7.2 billion valuation as more competition mounts against AI-wielding tech giants.

Watch Equity host Rebecca Bellan sit down with Glean CEO and founder Arvind Jain at Web Summit Qatar to discuss how businesses are thinking about AI architecture, what’s driving consolidation, and what’s real versus hype in the agent space.
