What each product is

What is Glean?

Glean is an enterprise AI platform built around company knowledge. It connects business systems, indexes information and helps employees find answers with the access controls of the underlying sources.

Glean also offers an assistant, an agent builder and orchestration for agents that use company context and perform work. A team can search for information and then use it in a governed workflow.

Glean is worth evaluating when a broad application estate, central governance and permissions-aware knowledge discovery drive the purchase. Ask the vendor which connectors, actions, deployment support and commercial commitments your organisation would need.

What is Toyo?

Personal Toyo is an AI assistant for daily work. Message it, send a voice note or call it for help with your inbox, calendar, meeting preparation and follow-ups.

Toyo for Teams brings company context and team workflows together. It includes SSO and a personal agent for each team member, with access available on request. Connected tools such as Claude and ChatGPT can use approved company context through MCP.

For custom team work, Toyo scopes the workflow, integrations, review points and support with you. Engineers can build, test, deploy and improve the system within that engagement. This support is not automatically included in every personal subscription or Teams access request.

The differences that affect your team

Knowledge access and execution

Both products connect company context to agents. Glean puts enterprise-wide knowledge access and agent governance at the centre. Toyo pairs company context with personal agents and workflows designed around the team's work. Neither comparison is a choice between search and execution alone.

Who builds the workflow

Glean provides a platform for configuring agents and actions. Toyo can deliver a custom workflow with engineers, but only within the scope agreed for that engagement. Ask each provider which implementation and maintenance work is included rather than assuming either service is hands-off.

Context across AI products

Toyo for Teams can expose approved company context through MCP to tools such as Claude and ChatGPT. Glean also connects knowledge and agents across systems. Confirm the specific external client, permissions and write-back path you need before choosing.

Buying and rollout

Glean's public site directs buyers to a demo rather than publishing a standard subscription price. Toyo has public personal plans and scoped team pricing. Compare the actual quote, rollout work and ongoing ownership, not an assumed enterprise minimum.

Setup and support

Toyo

For personal use, sign up and connect the accounts needed for your work. For Toyo for Teams, talk to us to request access and agree the sources, permissions, workflow, price and support scope. Engineer involvement depends on that agreement.

Glean

Compare the cost

Toyo combines a personal assistant with shared company context and managed team workflows. Personal plans are Solo at $29/month and Pro at $79/month. Toyo for Teams is available by requesting access, with pricing and engineer support scoped per engagement.

Prices are listed in the currencies and billing terms published by the provider. Credit allowances, taxes and implementation support are not directly interchangeable.

Review access and action boundaries

Glean

Glean emphasises permissions-aware company search and governed agents. Evaluate source access, identity controls and the actions an agent can take. A larger connector catalogue does not replace a review of the particular systems and data your team will expose.

Toyo

Toyo's personal pricing page states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest and is not used to train AI models. Teams includes SSO. Agree source permissions and review points before connecting company systems. Some actions in connected tools can apply immediately, so do not assume every action has a separate approval step.
