Do you need more than just search?

Yes. While Glean helps you find documents, PixieBrix lets you take action on that information directly in the browser—like sending emails, updating statuses, or triggering workflows. It's the difference between reading about a solution and actually executing it.

How easily can your team trigger workflows from search results?

PixieBrix enables one-click workflows embedded in your UI. Instead of jumping between tools like you would with Glean, PixieBrix lets you triage tickets, assign owners, and trigger automations directly from search results or web pages.

Are non-technical teams able to build and deploy automations with PixieBrix?

Yes. PixieBrix includes a no-code drag-and-drop builder so teams like marketing, sales, and customer service can build their own workflows without writing code or relying on IT.

Can PixieBrix personalize responses based on page-specific context?

Yes. Unlike Glean’s generic search summaries, PixieBrix can analyze live, in-page context—like the customer you're viewing—to provide tailored AI-generated responses, suggestions, or actions based on your exact browser state.

Questions you might ask...

The Problem with Search-Only Solutions

While Glean excels at finding documents, it leaves you hanging when you need to actually do something with that information. You search, you find, then you manually switch between apps to take action. It's like having a librarian who can find any book but can't help you write your report.

PixieBrix: From Search to Action in Seconds

PixieBrix transforms search from a dead-end into a launchpad. When you search for customer data, you don't just see results - you see contextual action buttons that let you update status, send emails, or trigger workflows without leaving the page. It's the difference between finding information and actually using it to get work done.

The Glean Workflow Reality

With Glean, triggering workflows is a multi-step dance: search for information, open the relevant documents, manually switch to your automation tool, then configure and run the workflow. It's like having to assemble a recipe from scratch every time you want to cook.

PixieBrix: One-Click Workflows

PixieBrix embeds smart action buttons directly into your search results. Find customer complaints? Click "Auto-triage" and watch as the system categorizes issues, assigns them to the right team members, and sends notification emails - all from one button click.

The Technical Barrier Problem

Glean requires IT involvement for most customizations. Want to create a new search integration or modify how results are displayed? You're looking at config files, command-line interfaces, and deployment processes that require technical expertise.

PixieBrix: Automation for Everyone

PixieBrix's drag-and-drop builder lets marketing coordinators create lead nurturing automations, sales reps build custom CRM workflows, and customer service teams deploy response templates - all without writing a single line of code.

Generic vs. Contextual Intelligence

Glean's AI provides generic responses based on static documents. Ask about customer strategy while viewing a specific customer profile, and you'll get general advice about customer management - because it doesn't know what you're looking at.

Contextual Awareness

PixieBrix sees what you see. When you're on a customer profile page and ask for recommendations, it analyzes that specific customer's purchase history, your role permissions, current campaign data, and even the time of day to provide tailored, actionable advice.
