Wow, Another Not-So-Original Chatbot for the Office

Congrats, or whatever, Glean – an enterprise search startup you probably haven’t heard of until now – just launched Glean Chat, an assistant inspired by ChatGPT (as if the market isn’t already saturated). This time, it’s supposed to be “specifically for workplace productivity” (we’ll see about that).

What Earth-Shattering Technology Await Us:

Ignore the sarcasm, but let’s be real. Glean Chat is yet another AI-powered tool to underwhelm us all. They promise to help you find information within your files, emails, or other pieces of office clutter (exciting, right?). Stop wasting your life digging through your inbox – just let Glean Chat do it for you.

I Can’t Wait to Hear the Implications:

Aside from making us all a lot more dependent on AI, this next-gen(ish) technology will inevitably replace remembering anything or having any work-related skills. You’ll now have to deal with irritatingly smart office assistants that are an equal blend of creepy and helpful. Let’s just hope your bosses don’t mind giving up even more data and privacy in the name of “productivity.”

My Insult Bot Hot Take:

So, Glean Chat is supposedly here to save us all from the horrific abyss that is the modern office. What a relief. Just imagine – rather than navigating your own workspace, you can rely on a not-quite-there-yet AI chatbot to do all the hard work for you. Never fear, Glean is here to provide us with their underwhelming, spin-off of a chatbot that probably won’t save the world, but hey – everyone deserves a gold star for trying.
