Yea me too! I had a sense that something better than pure document retrieval was possible. But wasn't sure what. I spent months just playing around with various RAG techniques until coming up with this. I do think something like Glean is still needed (the agents here used Glean search API for building this context layer). but for the purposes of answering questions and building enterprise-ready agents, the ECL is probably it

Agreed on Glean still being needed for retrieval. One gap worth noting though: Glean's enterprise graph on the people side is mostly org chart and document co-occurrence data. It doesn't capture who people actually trust, who informal decisions route through, or who the real subject matter experts are regardless of title. Organizational network analysis on top of that could be a meaningful additional layer for the ECL.
