Agentic Index
Coworker vs Glean (2026)
Two of the strongest documented cards in the lane, 11.5 and 12 of 14, both building a knowledge layer under enterprise agents. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Glean unifies search, assistant and agents over a permissions aware knowledge graph across more than a hundred connected systems, quoted through sales. Coworker pairs an organizational memory knowledge graph with model routing, more than fifty read and write connectors, a no code agent builder and approval gates, at a published thirty dollars per user a month. The published price and the write side of those connectors are Coworker's argument; Glean's is connector breadth and permissions depth.
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Coworker and Glean are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 969 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Coworker if
- A published per user price lets you budget this without a sales cycle.
- Write connectors matter: you want agents doing things, not only finding things.
- Approval gates and model routing are the governance controls you need.
Choose Glean if
- Connector breadth across a hundred plus systems is the requirement for your estate.
- Permissions aware search is the hard part, and getting it wrong is a security incident.
- Enterprise scale adoption and reference density lower the risk of the decision.
