Glean

Glean is enterprise search done well — it indexes your connected apps and lets an assistant retrieve across them.

In Parallel is not search. It is a structured, always-current record of what your organisation decided and committed to — built from meetings as they happen.

What are the key differences?

From finding what was written to knowing what was decided.

From retrieval to a structured decision record

Glean is excellent at finding the document, message, or ticket that mentions a topic. But a decision is rarely written down cleanly in one place. In Parallel captures decisions, owners, and commitments as structured signals from the meetings where they actually happen — so the answer exists as a record, not as something you reassemble from search results.

From indexing outputs to capturing the conversation

Search can only index what someone already wrote down. Much of what an organisation decides lives in meetings that never make it into a document. In Parallel joins those meetings and extracts the signal directly, closing the gap between what was said and what is searchable.

From an assistant to context for every AI tool

In Parallel exposes its record over MCP, so the same organisational memory is available in Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, and Cursor — alongside, not instead of, the search tools you already run.

When to choose Glean

  • Your primary need is finding existing documents and messages fast
  • You want a single search box across many connected apps
  • Knowledge is well-documented and you mainly need to retrieve it
  • Company-wide search is the job to be done

When to choose In Parallel

  • You need to know what was decided and committed, not just where it might be written
  • Important context lives in meetings that never get documented
  • You want a living plan that updates itself
  • The decision record should feed any AI tool, with EU hosting and permission scoping

Frequently asked questions

Is In Parallel an enterprise search tool like Glean?

No. Glean searches across what your organisation has written. In Parallel builds a structured, current record of what your organisation decided and committed to — captured from meetings — and serves it to AI tools over MCP. Many teams run both: search for documents, In Parallel for decisions.

Can In Parallel and Glean coexist?

Yes. They solve different problems. Glean helps people find existing content; In Parallel captures the decisions and commitments that often never get written down, and keeps a living plan. Both can serve AI tools.

Why not just search our meeting transcripts?

Searching transcripts returns passages; it still leaves you to work out what was actually decided and who owns it. In Parallel extracts that structure up front, so the answer is a decision record rather than a list of search hits.
