Glow vs Neo: AI endpoint control facts side by side

Short answer

Glow describes 0 of the four product control types on the pages we read and Neo describes 1; they differ on on-device control and browser extension. On decisions, Glow describes some control over tool calls and Neo decides on a tool call before it runs. We do not score either; the right choice depends on the AI tools people use, your devices, your current stack and whether you block or guide.

Positioning	"The Endpoint AI Company": control over everything that runs on the endpoint, in three areas (Asset Intelligence, Software Control, Safe AI Adoption), plus an Anthropic integration that collects per-user Claude usage, skills, connectors and a compliance audit trail. Came out of stealth on 22 July 2026 with $180M; Tel Aviv and Palo Alto.	Agentic Software Control from Neo Security, Inc. (neo.ai, not Pulumi Neo): a live inventory of agents, models, skills, MCP servers and extensions on every endpoint, and runtime control that intercepts agent actions and allows, blocks or holds them for approval. Launched 20 July 2026 with $100M from Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer; HQ Boston.
