Enterprise AI is shifting fast from chatbots that answer questions to systems that actually do the work across an organization. But who will own the AI layer that powers all of it? 

 Glean, which started as an enterprise search product, has evolved into what it calls an “AI work assistant,” aiming to sit underneath other AI experiences, connecting to internal systems, managing permissions, and delivering intelligence wherever employees work.

On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Glean’s CEO and founder Arvind Jain at Web Summit Qatar to break down how enterprises are thinking about AI architecture, what's driving consolidation, and what's real versus hype in the agent space. 

Listen to the full episode to hear about: 

The fight between bundled AI from tech titans like Microsoft, Google and platform layers like Glean and its competitors. 

How AI adoption is reshaping leadership and organizational design. 

Why permissions and governance are harder problems than most companies realize.
