The bigger difference: what the AI is built to do

Many AI tools help you write, search or organize. Makeo is designed to take the next step: understand the request, use the right context, choose the necessary actions and carry them out across your workspace.

What this looks like in a real workday

Morning inbox

“What needs my attention today?”

Makeo: Makeo surfaces relevant emails, tasks and meetings in one brief — then can draft replies or create follow-ups.

Glean: Compare how Glean surfaces priorities versus Makeo’s cross-workday brief.

Customer follow-up

“Reply to Sarah, move our meeting to Thursday and create a task for the proposal.”

Makeo: One request can prepare the email, move the calendar event and create the task — with review before sends when needed.

Glean: Glean may cover parts of this flow; Makeo is designed to orchestrate the full chain.

Social work

“Draft a LinkedIn post from this announcement and prepare replies to new comments.”

Makeo: Makeo connects publishing and comment drafting in the same workspace as email and tasks.

Glean: Check whether Glean includes built-in social publishing and comments, or focuses elsewhere.

Knowledge

“What do our documents say about this customer agreement?”

Makeo: Makeo can answer from selected knowledge sources (documents, sites, Drive/OneDrive/SharePoint where connected).

Glean: Glean may offer chat over mail/meetings or external knowledge — verify against their current docs.

External business system

“Check the invoice status and create a follow-up if it’s overdue.”

Makeo: With user-configured MCP connections, Makeo can query permitted tools and create follow-up work in the same flow.

Glean: See whether Glean documents MCP or equivalent tool connections for this kind of action.
