As businesses grapple with the complexities of artificial intelligence and modern data environments, AI-powered enterprise search has become essential for finding, understanding and acting on critical knowledge.

This advanced technology is transforming how organizations manage information by making search processes more intuitive, efficient and capable of meeting evolving organizational demands, according to Arvind Jain, chief executive officer of Glean Technologies Inc.

“AI is going to be a core capability of every product that you buy in the future. I mean, it’s as simple as that. We will expect every product that we buy to be smart,” Jain said.

Jain spoke with theCUBE Research’s John Furrier for theCUBE’s “Cloud AWS re:Invent Coverage,” during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. Jain shared insights into how AI and inferencing are reshaping enterprise search and enabling organizations to build smarter systems with deeper data connections.

Harnessing AI-powered enterprise search

Modern enterprise search extends far beyond merely retrieving data. Instead, it integrates inferencing capabilities with enterprise systems to provide actionable insights. Glean has built a platform that connects enterprise data in a secure, meaningful way, creating opportunities for smarter applications, Jain explained.

“We didn’t actually set out to build an AI application. We were first solving the problem of people can’t find anything in their work lives. We built a search product and we were able to use inferencing as a core part of our overall product technology,” he said. “That has allowed us to build a much better search and question-and-answering product … we’re 1733949500  able to answer their questions using all of their enterprise knowledge.”

These advancements leverage AI to simplify complex workflows, transforming traditional search into a tool for intelligent data discovery and problem-solving. By combining secure data connections with AI capabilities, Glean enables enterprises to improve efficiency while maintaining control over their knowledge ecosystem. The platform’s AI-powered enterprise search function ensures that users can retrieve not just data, but meaningful answers.

“You’ll run Glean within your AWS instance within your VPC, and what you’re doing is you’re connecting Glean with all of your enterprise data and knowledge,” Jain said. “Now you have this horizontal AI data layer where all of their enterprise data has been brought together.”

Looking ahead, AI-powered solutions are not just enhancing enterprise search but are also democratizing application development. These tools empower both technical and non-technical users to create sophisticated applications with ease using natural language, according to Jain.

“You have to think about it in the new world; you’re making everybody a developer … AI is doing one really good thing, which is it is giving the power to a business user who doesn’t know how to code. You’re allowing them to build complex applications, do complex data analysis by just expressing those things in English.” he added.
