Use autocomplete to get intelligent suggestions as you refine your query.
Can I ask the Glean AI assistant questions about my organization's knowledge?
Yes. The chat capability sends a natural language question to Glean's AI assistant, which generates an answer grounded in your organization's indexed knowledge. including documents, wikis, Slack conversations, and Jira tickets. This is ideal for getting synthesized answers rather than just search results.
Can I index custom documents into Glean programmatically?
Yes. Use index_document to add a single document with a JSON payload containing title, body, URL, and metadata. For large batches, use bulk_index_documents to index multiple documents in one request. Use delete_document to remove outdated content and get_document to verify indexing status.
