Answers against outcomes
Glean returns an answer. afka returns a resolved ticket, a sent quote, a screened shortlist, a restocked catalog, a published post.

Glean is enterprise search: it builds an index of company documents and permissions, and it answers questions from that index. afka is agentic execution under governance. The two products solve different problems, and this page states the difference plainly.
Glean builds an index of company content and its permissions, and answers questions from it. When the index is ready, the search is genuinely good, and a large company with a decade of documents has a real need for it.
afka does not exist to find a document. afka executes work inside the tools the company already uses, and the value begins before any connector is attached: a new workspace picks a business function and receives a first finished artifact in under a minute, from seeded sample data.

An index has to be complete before the first answer is possible, and the vendor documentation describes deployment in weeks. The first job from afka does not depend on an index, so it does not wait for one.
Every afka action carries an autonomy level, sensitive actions wait for approval, and every action lands in an append-only audit log. A search product does not need this machinery. An execution product is not safe without it.
A company that primarily needs to find things should buy an index. A company that primarily needs work done should buy execution.
