Hi —

I'm Omkar, the CEO of Glean.

Let me tell you why we exist and what we're building for you.

In today's world, our relationship with information follows a familiar pattern: wake up, scroll endlessly, work, scroll endlessly, sleep. Our attention has become a commodity, captured by feeds and timelines that don't really serve our best interests.

While your "For You" page claims to be personalized, it's often optimized for engagement rather than enrichment.

We created Glean because we believe you deserve better. Our name comes from the art of gathering valuable information from various sources—often a challenging task in today's digital landscape.

Think of us as your dedicated crew of curators, searching through the noise to bring you content that truly matters.

In just five minutes a day, we deliver:

• Genuine journalism that informs and enlightens, not clickbait
• Thought-provoking reads that expand your understanding
• Carefully selected podcasts that offer lasting value
• Meaningful videos worth your precious time
• Essential updates on developments that matter

While you could spend hours scrolling social media or managing RSS feeds, we offer a different approach. We challenge you to compare: the insights you'll gain from five minutes with Glean often exceed what you'd discover in hours of doom-scrolling.

Every piece of content we share is thoughtfully curated and rewritten to maximize value for your time. Access Glean wherever you are—through email, web, or our apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Ready to make your daily information diet more nutritious? Join us at Glean, where we transform scattered information into concentrated wisdom.
