The all-new Glean desktop app: Frictionless, instant answers anywhere you work
Nov 4, 2025
Summary
Introduces a new surface for Glean's AI Assistant: a native desktop application. This app provides full context across all open windows, unlike browser extensions or mobile apps. Key new features include: 1. Instant keyboard shortcuts (Command-Shift-J) to summon the Assistant without leaving the current application. 2. An 'always-on-top' quick chat window for side-by-side interaction and iteration. 3. Screenshot-to-chat functionality, allowing users to share visual context (documents, UI states) for more relevant answers. The post also reiterates Glean's commitment to privacy and control, stating the app respects enterprise permissions and does not index local files.
