Glean doubled from $100M to $200M ARR in 9 months. At a $7.2B valuation. The common take: enterprise AI search is booming.
122/280 ✓The more accurate take: Glean's moat isn't search — it's the knowledge graph. Every connection it indexes, who knows what, who talks to whom, gets harder to replicate over time.
177/280 ✓Switching cost in enterprise AI isn't the model. It's the graph of institutional knowledge you've built on top of it. That's what Glean is actually selling.
156/280 ✓GPT-5.4 Thinking crossed human-level performance on OSWorld desktop task benchmarks. Not browser automation. Desktop. The GUI automation barrier for enterprise workflows is officially gone.
OpenAI shut Sora. Launched Codex enterprise. Added 1M weekly developers in 14 days. The fastest way to validate a pivot isn't your roadmap deck — it's what the next two weeks does to your numbers.
