Glean searches memory. Ignius creates it.
Enterprise search tools index what was written. Ignius captures decisions at the moment they happen—often before anyone writes a doc—and makes them queryable with sources and confidence.
What each tool is built for
| Dimension | Enterprise search (Glean) | Ignius |
|---|---|---|
| Core operation | Index → retrieve → generate | Detect decision → capture why → graph → query |
| Input | What was written | What was decided (often never written) |
| Quality model | Relevance score | Confidence + provenance + temporal history |
| Employee behavior | Search when stuck | Confirm in Slack + save nodes on purpose |
When search wins
Buyers who need broad search across dozens of apps, IT-led rollout, and “good enough” doc answers will get value from enterprise search. If your problem is finding the PRD from 2022, search is the right tool.
When Ignius wins
- People still ping seniors after search fails to answer “why”
- Key operator knowledge walks out the door when someone leaves
- Cross-functional teams need the decision, not another doc link
- You need an audit trail for judgment, not file retrieval
Ignius is not trying to replace your search stack. It creates the layer search cannot index: tacit decisions confirmed by the people who made them. See Company Brain for teams or try the interactive demo.
