Agentic Index
Box vs Glean (2026)
Both put agents over enterprise content and they start from opposite assets.
Box owns the content: its agent reasons over unstructured files to search, analyze and generate across multi step tasks, paired with an AI Studio agent builder, grounded in authorized content with enterprise security, model choice and an MCP server, documenting 11.5 of 14. Glean owns the index, unifying search, assistant and agents over a permissions aware knowledge graph across more than a hundred systems, at 12. If most of what matters already lives in Box, the agent is included in a platform you pay for; if it is scattered, Glean is the one that finds it.
Choose Box if
- Your content already lives in Box and permissions are already correct there.
- An MCP server and model choice fit how you want to connect this to other agents.
- You want to extend a platform you already pay for rather than buy another one.
Choose Glean if
- Your knowledge is scattered across many systems and no single one is the source of truth.
- Documented coverage is slightly broader and the knowledge graph spans people and processes too.
- Search quality across everything is the problem, not reasoning over one repository.
