Why engineering teams choose Unblocked over Glean
Unlike enterprise search, Unblocked turns scattered information from code, docs, tickets, conversations, and observability data into actionable context that gets engineers unstuck and keeps agents on track.
Built for the way engineering teams actually work
Purpose-built context for technical teams
Glean is a general-purpose enterprise-search tool, typically purchased by HR, finance, or sales.
Unblocked is the context layer built specifically for engineering teams and their AI agents.
Decision-grade context, not enterprise search
Enterprise search tools retrieve information. Unblocked builds unified understanding of code, PRs, docs, conversations, and tickets.
With rich context, engineers get fast answers and agents produce higher quality code with fewer corrections.
Conflicts resolved automatically
When a Confluence page says one thing and a Slack thread says another, Unblocked weighs recency, authority, and proximity to your work.
You and your agents get a final answer instead of a list of links and the homework to figure it out.
