Glean is enterprise search and AI for large organisations: a permission-aware index of everything in a company’s connected systems (its site says more than 250 connectors), with an assistant, agents and memory. A managed MCP server lets any approved AI tool query it as the signed-in user.
BeigeCheck is a much smaller thing: a company’s approved facts, voice and house rules, given to Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot before they write, with every draft scored and every claim checked. Glean answers “what do we have on this?”; BeigeCheck answers “is this draft right, and does it sound like us?”
Side by side
Works inside your own AI tools
- Glean
- Yes, widely. A managed MCP server with guides for 22 hosts, including Claude for Teams and Enterprise and Claude Desktop (admin-managed), ChatGPT (listed in its app marketplace), Microsoft Copilot Studio, Gemini Enterprise, Cursor and VS Code. An admin enables it, then each person connects with their SSO. Individual Claude plans aren’t covered on its pages.
- BeigeCheck
- Claude and ChatGPT on every plan; Microsoft 365 Copilot from Business up, switched on once by IT.
Read-only connection
- Glean
- No. The default toolset is search, read, people, activity, memory and web search; memory can be written from the host, and admins can add write tools for Slack, Jira, Salesforce and Google Docs behind an approval step.
- BeigeCheck
- Yes. Every tool only reads. Changes to your knowledge go through approvals in BeigeCheck.
What it supplies to the AI tool
- Glean
- Search results, documents, people and memories from your connected systems, filtered by what you’re allowed to see.
- BeigeCheck
- Your approved voice brief, glossary and house rules for that kind of writing, and your approved facts with their sources.
What it checks
- Glean
- Nothing about a draft. No check of writing against guidelines or facts, and no score, is shown on its pages. Its governance covers access, agent behaviour and threat detection.
- BeigeCheck
- The Beige-ometer on every draft: how authentic it reads and how well it fits the voice, with the sentences to change and a fix for each; Citability on public formats; a claim check against your approved facts.
Company voice
- Glean
- Not shown on its public pages.
- BeigeCheck
- Yes: an approved company voice per kind of writing, a glossary and house rules.
Personal voice
- Glean
- Not shown on its public pages. Memory stores tone and format preferences; a “writing profile” setting is described as temporarily removed.
- BeigeCheck
- Yes: each person’s own voice, built only from writing they’ve done themselves.
Approved facts with sources
- Glean
- Document-level: a person can verify a document as accurate, with their name and the date shown, and anyone can write an Answer. A record of individual facts, each approved, dated and sourced, isn’t shown on its pages.
- BeigeCheck
- Yes: approved facts, each with its source and version, in six areas; every claim in a draft checked against them.
Learning
- Glean
- Memory learns from each user’s chats and work activity, consolidated daily; billing for learned memories starts 7 November 2026. Learning from edits to drafts isn’t shown on its pages.
- BeigeCheck
- Proposes changes from your documents and from the edits people keep making; an approver decides every one.

Where they overlap
Both put company knowledge into the AI tool a person is already using, through a connector the person signs into as themselves, with the organisation’s permissions respected. Both run in Claude, ChatGPT and a Copilot agent. And both exist because a model writing about a company without that company’s knowledge in front of it will make things up.
Glean’s reach is much wider. It indexes the whole company through those 250-plus connectors, it has published its own benchmarks of its context layer inside Claude Cowork, and its site names Booking.com, T-Mobile and Databricks among its customers. If the problem is that your people can’t find what the company knows, Glean is the product for it and BeigeCheck isn’t.
Where they differ
The first difference is the kind of knowledge. Glean returns whatever exists in the connected systems: the current page, the old deck, the draft someone never deleted, all permission-filtered and ranked. BeigeCheck holds only what the company has approved, each fact with its source and version, and nothing joins it without a proposal and an approver. Glean’s document verification gets part of the way there, with a named person and a date on a whole document. BeigeCheck does it per fact.
The second is checking. Glean’s pages describe search, chat, agents, memory and governance. Nothing described reads a draft back against guidelines or facts, and there’s no score. The Beige-ometer scores every draft for how authentic it reads and how well it fits the voice, quotes the sentences to change, and checks every claim against the approved facts.
The third is voice. Glean’s pages show no brand voice and no personal voice layer. BeigeCheck has both, and the personal one is built only from writing the person did themselves.
And the fourth is size and price. Glean is bought by an enterprise after a demo, per user plus credits, with MCP use metered. BeigeCheck is on the pricing page, flat per company with unlimited people, and set up in an afternoon.
For a company on Glean, the line we’d give a security team is this: BeigeCheck doesn’t copy your knowledge base. It holds the facts you’ve approved, and only those.
Who each suits
Glean suits a large organisation that needs permission-aware search and AI across hundreds of connected systems, with agents, governance and memory, and that wants that context available in every AI tool its people use.
BeigeCheck suits a company of a few people to a few hundred whose problem is the writing: whether the proposal, post or page that Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot just drafted is true, sounds like the company and still sounds like the person. An enterprise on Glean can run BeigeCheck beside it for exactly that.
