SafetyCulture uses Glean to cut search times by 50% and become AI-first with Agent Builder

The problem

During rapid growth, a 50% increase in engineering staff and new tools created organizational and productivity challenges at SafetyCulture; an internal survey identified knowledge search as the biggest culprit, with data spread across multiple applications and knowledge siloed. Engineers were spending up to four hours a week manually searching for content.
