Comparison
Switchy vs Glean
Glean searches everything your company already wrote. Switchy remembers what your team decides and carries it across every AI.
Where Glean shines
Glean is genuinely strong at enterprise search and knowledge discovery: deep connectors across the whole company’s content (docs, wikis, tickets), permission-aware retrieval, and a polished enterprise assistant. For large orgs whose core need is "find the thing across all our systems," Glean is excellent and hard to beat.
