Kowerk vs Glean
AI workspace for small teams vs enterprise search platform.
Quick verdict
Glean is built for enterprise IT — 200+ employee organizations with deep procurement processes, dedicated security review, and 100+ integrations across enterprise SaaS. Kowerk is built for the teams Glean isn't: agencies, consultants, marketing teams, and startups in the 3–20 person range. If you're enterprise, choose Glean. If you're a small team that needs AI grounded in your business data without the enterprise sales cycle, choose Kowerk.
The bigger picture: stop the AI sprawl
Your team is probably already using AI — just not together. Some people pay for ChatGPT Plus. Others use Claude or Gemini for free. Marketing has Jasper, sales has its own tools, and everyone keeps re-explaining the same business context to a fresh AI session.
The result: every team member gets different answers to the same question. Knowledge that should be shared lives in private chat histories. Your business voice is inconsistent because every output starts from a generic AI default.
Kowerk centralizes your team's AI work in one shared workspace, grounded in your actual business data. Instead of paying for individual AI subscriptions across your team and getting disconnected outputs, your team gets one workspace where everyone builds on each other's work — and the AI knows your business as well as you do.
