Scibly vs. Glean. Glean builds its graph from what's already written. Scibly also asks your experts, and starts with one team.
Two different approaches. Glean is a tool your team works in. Scibly adds a knowledge layer to the tools you already have, working in the background.
How Glean works
Glean is a comprehensive work platform for larger companies. It indexes content from your connected tools and maps who works on which content. On top, it offers company-wide search, an AI assistant and agents, as a central platform rolled out across the company. Its knowledge comes from the content and activity already in those tools.
How Scibly works
Scibly adds one central knowledge layer to the tools you already use. In the background, it brings together what's in documents, meetings and your people's experience, and links every piece of information to its source. Your team's AI tools can draw on this knowledge, always within each person's access rights. And because Scibly captures knowledge across the whole company, it also shows when important know-how sits with only one person.
What Scibly does differently. Four differences your team will notice in its first weeks.
01No new interface
Glean is a platform of its own, with search, an assistant and agents, rolled out across the whole company. Scibly needs no extra interface your team has to learn. It works in the background and brings knowledge into the AI tools and agents your people already use, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini or Cursor. Your existing workflows can stay as they are.
02Knowledge that isn't written down anywhere
Glean's knowledge graph is built from content and activity that already exist. Knowledge that was never documented only gets in when someone types it in by hand as an Answer. Scibly captures it directly, in short conversations with your experts, and makes the answers available, with each person kept as the source.
03Knowledge on one person
Glean shows who works on which content and which documents belong to it. Scibly also shows which knowledge sits with one person only, and how much your team relies on it. So you can make sure that knowledge is handed on in time.
04Start with one team
Glean is aimed at larger companies and rolled out through sales, usually with a pilot and an IT implementation; prices aren't public. You can try Scibly with a single team for a few weeks first: connect a few tools, interview your first experts, and judge the value in everyday work. Scibly's prices are public on our pricing page.

Scibly is a strong fit if…
- your team's know-how lives in Slack threads, tickets and a few people's heads, not in the docs.
- you want to see which systems only one person really knows, before they switch teams or leave.
- your team already works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or Copilot and doesn't want another platform.
- every answer your AI gives should name its source, so anyone can check it.
