Hi —

I'm Omkar, the CEO of Glean.

Take a moment and think about your day. What's the first thing you do when you wake up? Scroll. During work breaks? Scroll. Before bed? Scroll again.

Sound familiar?

Here's what's really happening: Your precious attention—your ability to learn, grow, and stay informed—has become someone else's commodity. Those endless feeds and timelines? They're not working for you. They're working for themselves.

Even that "For You" page isn't really for you. It's designed for one thing: keeping you hooked, not making you smarter.

There Has to Be a Better Way

That's why we created Glean.

(Fun fact: "glean" means finding valuable information from different sources exactly what we do for you.)

Think of us as your personal crew of intellectual treasure hunters. While you focus on your day, we dive deep into the digital ocean, bringing back only the pearls worth your attention.

Every day, we deliver:

  • Truth, Not Trends: Real journalism that makes you think "Wow, I'm glad I learned this"
  • Mind Expanders: Reads that stick with you long after the last word
  • Audio Gold: Podcasts that make you the smartest person in the room
  • Visual Wisdom: Videos that teach, not just entertain
  • Future Vision: Updates that matter tomorrow, not just today

The Glean Challenge

We believe this: 5 minutes with Glean will make you smarter than hours of social media scrolling.

Bold claim? Yes. But we stand by it.

CEO & Chief Editor

  • I see you focus heavily on AI, tech, and business. Why these areas specifically?

    From your morning alarm to your evening Netflix recommendation, AI and tech are quietly orchestrating your day. But it's not just about the technology—it's about how these innovations reshape our world. Business ties it all together, showing us how these changes ripple through our work, transform industries, and influence every spending decision we make. We track these areas because they're not just shaping tomorrow—they're deciding which opportunities you'll have access to today.

  • What draws you to cover science and space?

    Science is the blueprint for tomorrow's reality. The medical breakthroughs you read about today could extend your life in the future. As for space, whether it's a new comet or discoveries about potential life on other planets, it fuels our innate curiosity about the universe. Plus, who wouldn't be intrigued by the possibility of their grandchildren vacationing on Mars?

  • Crypto seems uncertain - why keep track of it?

    Think of it as keeping an eye on the future of money. Sure, crypto might seem uncertain now, but so did the internet in 1995. Remember Bitcoin at $1? We track meaningful developments without the hype, so you don't miss the next big shift in how value moves around our world.

  • Tell me about your 'Around the Web' section - what makes it special?

    This is where curiosity meets practicality. We hunt for those rare gems—the article that makes you think differently about your world, the video that teaches you something you'll actually use, the podcast that makes your commute feel too short, and the tools that genuinely make your day better. No clickbait, no fluff—just "wow, I'm glad I learned that" moments.

  • What about big cultural moments in sports and entertainment?

    Only when it matters beyond the scoreboard or box office. When AI revolutionizes athlete training, or streaming technology transforms how we consume content—that's when we'll bring it to you. We skip the daily drama to focus on developments that actually shape our future.

  • Can I dive deeper into specific topics? Do you have topic related publications?

    Absolutely! We curate specialized publications covering Design, Marketing, Productivity Tools, Daily Words of Wisdom, Must-Read Articles, and Watch-Worthy Content. Whether you're a designer looking for inspiration or a productivity enthusiast seeking better tools, we've got you covered with weekly and daily frequencies.

  • How do you decide what's actually worth including?

    Our expert curators filter through hundreds of sources, selecting only developments with real impact on your life, career, or future opportunities. No fluff, no clickbait—just valuable insights.
