Glean’s latest Assistant update brings Search in Chat, smarter autocomplete, and image generation into one workflow. You can find company knowledge, accept type-ahead suggestions, and create on-brand visuals without leaving the conversation—reducing context-switching and speeding delivery for enterprise teams.

Why this matters now

Assistant has evolved from Q&A to a find-and-create workspace: search directly inside chat, accept autocomplete suggestions, and generate images that align to your enterprise context. This closes the gap between asking, locating the right source, and producing a shareable asset.

What’s new (at a glance)

• Search in Chat: Query your company’s knowledge without switching tabs; results are grounded in your indexed sources and appear inline with answers.

• Autocomplete: Faster navigation and query completion with intent-aware suggestions (docs, people, teams, operators) as you type.

• Image generation: Create contextual visuals from within Assistant so outputs live alongside citations and chat history.

• (Related) Contextual images: Assistant can also surface diagrams/charts already in your company docs directly in chat.

Practical steps (enable in minutes)

1. Open Assistant and start a chat. Use natural language plus filters (app, author, date) to narrow results; pin key answers to Canvas.

2. Use autocomplete: begin typing a query or document title; select suggested docs or people to jump straight in.

3. Generate images: prompt Assistant to create a visual (e.g., “concept diagram for onboarding flow”), then insert it into your summary or deck.

4. Keep context rich: attach files from connected apps so search, chat and images reference the same sources.

Examples

• Project brief in one thread: Ask Assistant for prior proposals, accept an autocomplete suggestion to open the right deck, then generate a diagram for the new variant—no app-switching.

• Support runbook update: Search past incidents in chat, summarise fixes, and add a labelled image showing the escalation path.
