Zenning AI and Glean, side by side.
| Feature | Zenning AI | Glean |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Zenning AIYes: All-in-one AI platform: an AI employee in Slack and Teams, plus AI workspaces, enterprise search, a meeting note taker, and a no-code AI Employee builder. | GleanPartly: Enterprise AI search and work assistant for finding company knowledge and building agents. |
| Where it lives | Zenning AIYes: Inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, where your team already works. | GleanPartly: Primarily in Glean's own app, browser extension, and integrations with workplace tools. |

| AI Employee builder | Zenning AIYes: Build AI employees that trigger on external events — new leads, inbound email, schedules, webhooks — and run the work end to end. | GleanPartly: Includes agent-building features, but not a Slack-native AI Employee builder focused on external event triggers like leads, emails, schedules, and webhooks. |

| Automation | Zenning AIYes: Both scheduled jobs and event-triggered workflows run automatically without manual prompting. | GleanYes: Supports AI agents and workflows, but the experience is centered on enterprise search and knowledge work. |
| Team features | Zenning AIYes: One shared AI employee for the whole workspace with shared context, memory, and automations. | GleanYes: Built for enterprise-wide knowledge discovery with permissions and team-wide access controls. |
| Actions | Zenning AIYes: Takes real actions across connected tools, not just suggestions. | GleanPartly: Can power workflows through agents and integrations, but is less focused on Slack-native execution across everyday team work. |
| Security | Zenning AIYes: Enterprise-grade security with credentials stored server-side, never exposed to the model. | GleanYes: Enterprise security, permissions, governance, and admin controls. |
| Pricing & setup | Zenning AIYes: Free to start. Connect Slack and get going in minutes. | GleanNo: Enterprise sales motion and deployment. Not designed as a free, minutes-to-start Slack AI employee. |
Glean is strongest when the problem is enterprise search: finding the right document, policy, answer, or person across company systems.
Zenning includes enterprise search too, but wraps it in an AI employee that lives where work is already happening. Your team can ask, delegate, approve, and follow up directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams.
A good answer is useful. A completed workflow is better. Zenning connects to your tools with real read/write access, builds web apps and sites, updates systems, and runs AI employees from real-world triggers like new leads, inbound email, webhooks, and schedules.
That makes Zenning a better fit when the goal is not just finding knowledge, but turning that knowledge into finished work.
Zenning brings enterprise search together with a built-in meeting note taker, shared company memory, and event-triggered automation.
For teams that want an AI teammate they can start with quickly, Zenning is lighter to adopt than a traditional enterprise search rollout and gives every team a practical AI employee from day one.
