Navigating the complexities of modern workplace communication tools can be challenging, especially when it comes to finding the right information quickly. One significant issue for many employees is the need to navigate between multiple screens and applications to find the information they need. Workers often have to leave their Microsoft Teams chats or meetings to find answers to their questions, resulting in repetitive disruptions that break the flow of work and reduce productivity. Even with the introduction of Teams Copilot, users are limited to accessing information only from Microsoft applications. This limitation means that any knowledge or data stored outside of the Microsoft environment remains inaccessible, forcing employees to context switch between different platforms and tools to move their workflows forward. 

Glean in Microsoft Teams addresses this by bringing our AI-powered search directly into your workspace. Simply message Glean privately or tag it in channels and group conversations to instantly access your company's knowledge base. Team members can find the information they need without switching applications, streamlining their workflow, and keeping conversations focused within Teams.
