Jain explains that Glean's breakthrough was indexing not just documents but the relationships between documents, people, and workflows. Who created what, who read what, who shared what with whom — the relationship graph is more valuable than the content graph.

Highlights

The shift from search to agents in enterprise AI changes the stakes: incorrect search results waste time; incorrect agent actions waste money and trust
Jain describes the stakes increase: when Glean was a search engine, a bad result cost the user 30 seconds. As an agent that can draft emails, schedule meetings, and update databases, a bad action costs real money, damages customer relationships, or violates compliance requirements.
