Glean Release Notes

Release version: 560

This release brings GPT-6.1 Sol to Glean, moves the Showpad connector to general availability, opens the Vitally connector beta, and redesigns the Assistant model picker with cost and intelligence ratings. The Glean browser extension now opens in your browser's native side panel, and the release also delivers admin setup improvements, security hardening, and reliability fixes.

Major launches

Showpad connector now generally available

The Showpad connector is now generally available, and the Beta label has been removed from the setup experience. Connect Showpad to make your sales enablement content findable in Glean alongside the rest of your company knowledge. The connector supports federated search and fetch with per-user permissions, so each person sees only the Showpad content they already have access to — results stay permissions-aware without extra configuration.

How to access: Admins can add Showpad from the Add data source page in the Admin console.

Connectors [ROAD-1504]

Vitally connector now in open beta …

Release version: 559

This release makes Agent Identity generally available, brings the Fathom, Crayon, and Veeva Vault connectors and the Platform Skills API to general availability, and turns on the updated left navigation for everyone. It also adds six new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server templates, new admin controls for Salesforce API usage and voice transcription, and a set of reliability fixes.

Major launches

Agent Identity is now generally available

Give each Glean agent its own identity — its own governed account in every system it connects to — so agents act and appear as themselves instead of running under a person's credentials. Builders can attach admin-governed service credentials to their agents and configure dedicated Slack and Teams apps, while admins manage service credentials and Knowledge Profiles using existing access controls. The result is clearer attribution for agent activity and tighter governance over what each agent can reach.

How to access: Available by default. Admins manage service credentials and Knowledge Profiles in the Admin console; builders attach credentials when configuring their agents.

Fathom connector now generally available …

Release version: 558

This release turns on usage limits for identity provider (IdP) groups by default, adds PowerPoint export for HTML slide decks, brings Claude Sonnet 5.5 to Assistant and Agents, and expands the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server library with 67 new templates. It also delivers new connector betas, stronger permissions enforcement, durable agent-run APIs, and a set of reliability fixes.

Major launches

Set usage limits for identity provider (IdP) groups from the billing dashboard

Admins can now set usage limits for identity provider (IdP) groups directly from the billing dashboard. Many enterprises already manage access through IdP groups, so this brings spend control to the same groups your organization uses everywhere else. Group-mode spend limits are on by default, giving finance and platform owners finer-grained control over consumption without extra setup, and they can still be turned off for your deployment if you prefer a different model.

How to access: Admins set group limits from the billing dashboard in the Admin console. Group mode is on by default and can be turned off per deployment.

Release version: 557

This release makes it faster to find your past chats and artifacts, brings a new browser extension side panel, adds scheduling for manually run agents, and expands the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server library with 25 new templates. It also delivers usage limits for identity provider groups, stronger permissions enforcement across connectors and agents, and a set of reliability fixes.

Major launches

Find past chats and artifacts faster

The redesigned chat search experience organizes everything you've created in Glean into clear categories — Chats, Artifacts, and Meeting Notes — so you can jump straight to the right kind of result. A new sort dropdown lets you order results by relevance or recency, making it easy to pick up where you left off or track down an artifact from weeks ago. Search across your history is now faster and more predictable, whether you remember an exact phrase or only an approximate timeframe.

How to access: Open search from your chat history, then filter by Chats, Artifacts, or Meeting Notes and sort by relevance or recency. No admin action needed.

Build and run Glean agents from your coding tools

You can now build, test, and run Glean agents directly from coding assistants such as Cursor, Claude, or Codex, without leaving your development environment. This lets developers create agents that draw on company knowledge using the tools they already work in every day, while the Agents library provides step-by-step guidance for creating agents this way. The result is a faster path from an idea to a working agent for technical teams, with the same agents available afterward in Glean for the rest of the organization to use and share.

How to access: Open the Agents library in Glean to find agent-creation guidance, then follow the headless builder documentation to create and run agents from Cursor, Claude, or Codex. Available automatically to users who can build agents.

Connect Glean content events to your automations

The experimental Glean Triggers API lets developers subscribe to content events from connected data sources and deliver those events to external platforms and agents. You can register trigger subscriptions, search matching events, manage a trigger’s lifecycle, and receive signed webhook deliveries. This makes it possible to connect Glean activity to automation platforms, developer tools, and custom agent workflows while preserving the permissions of the subscribing user. The API is designed for integration builders who want Glean events to initiate work outside the Glean interface.

How to access: Use the Platform API with a token that has the required trigger scope, and include the experimental opt-in header on requests. The API is intended for developers and integration builders; the surface is experimental and may change.

Find and reuse your past Assistant chats without leaving the conversation

You can now ask Glean to find and pick up your earlier Assistant conversations directly from a new chat, so you can continue long-running work without hunting through your history. Only your own conversations that are stored in Chat History are surfaced, and existing retention and privacy controls still apply.

How to access: In a new Assistant conversation, just ask Glean to find a previous chat (for example, reference what you were working on). Glean surfaces matching conversations from your own Chat History. No setup is required.

Discover useful next steps directly from Glean Home

Glean Home can now surface personalized Cowork suggestions based on your recent work. Each card recommends a concrete next step, such as preparing for a meeting, summarizing a call, drafting a follow-up, or updating a document, and opens the relevant Assistant workflow with context already provided. This helps you discover valuable Glean capabilities without knowing the exact prompt or navigating through multiple product areas. Suggestions are designed around practical work journeys and include source-backed context so you can understand why a recommendation is relevant. …

User Features

Model Selector in Builder Assistant

Builder Assistant now includes a model selector so agent builders can choose which large language model powers each compiler chat. The chat bar shows the current model, and every response clearly indicates which model was used, matching the Assistant experience. This gives admins more control over cost and quality when Builder Assistant usage is billed, while keeping the default "Auto" model for new sessions.

How to access: Administrators must enable for your organization. Builder Assistant with model selection is available to all customers who can access the Agent Builder and use Builder Assistant. Admins should ensure that any premium models they want builders to use are enabled in their model settings. No additional configuration is required beyond existing model and billing setup. This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Mix and match existing slides to create a new presentation with Glean

You can now build new presentations by mixing and matching slides from decks you already have in Glean, instead of starting from a blank prompt. Choose one or more source presentations, then let Assistant suggest which slides to keep, drop, or reorder based on the story you want to tell, while generating only the missing title, transition, and summary slides needed to make the deck feel cohesive. The final presentation is exported through the existing slide generation pipeline to PowerPoint or Google Slides, preserving your company's branding and template settings.
