Glean has introduced code search and code writer capabilities to enhance engineering workflows. Code search provides deep context from all code repositories, enabling engineers to understand code, explain implementations, generate architecture diagrams, and update documentation. Code writer facilitates the transition from understanding to implementation by generating pull requests that adhere to existing patterns, reusing code and tests, and running checks. These features are integrated into existing workflows. This update enhances the Assistant with Search in Chat, autocomplete, and image generation, creating a unified workspace for discovery and execution grounded in enterprise context. Search in Chat and autocomplete integrate search results and document suggestions directly into chat, powered by trusted, permissions-aware search. Image generation allows for the creation of visuals directly within chat, grounded in enterprise documents, tickets, code, and conversations, with model-agnostic support and options for downloading generated images.
