Based on my experience, Glean is well suited for scenarios where you need to search through large amounts of information in a structured format, such as Confluence pages, knowledge bases, or other similar repositories. Glean's search algorithms make it easy to find the exact information you need, even if it's buried deep in a document or spread across multiple pages. On the other hand, Glean may be less appropriate for scenarios where you need to search through unstructured data, such as messages. While Glean can still be useful in these cases, its effectiveness may be limited.

WRITER
It is very easy to navigate, build, and contextually meld your agent into whatever you like. As long as you know how their back-end no-coding platform works, it becomes a breeze to create bespoke content that actually matters, and makes sense. We've done this with multiple agents and as I call it, "sub-functions". There's a lot more potential the agents can do, all you need to know is to just learn the process.

  • i do find the organisation a bit confusing, like the functions available in 'ask Writer' being separate to the main window. there were lots of functions i wasn't able to find intuitively that we needed a support call for
  • asking for a summary of key points doesn't always pick up the main points

WordPress is not very clear about the tools that are available with some themes over others. Instead, Write has multiple functions and makes the work complete in its entirety. It's easy to navigate and it also allows me to use multiple accounts. It has database links and at the same time it is compatible with MS office in all versions
