What is Guru?

Guru is a knowledge platform designed to serve as what the vendor describes as an AI source of truth for enterprises. It connects information from tools like Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and other systems into one governed, permission-aware knowledge layer. Guru delivers cited AI answers, chat, and research directly within existing workflows, to enable employees and AI assistants to access verified knowledge securely and efficiently.

The platform combines enterprise search, AI reasoning, and knowledge governance to ensure every answer is explainable, permissioned, and accurate. By consolidating scattered knowledge and automating verification, Guru helps organizations reduce duplication, maintain compliance, and ensure both people and AI operate from the same trusted truth.

One platform for all your knowledge needs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Guru has been incredibly valuable for our knowledge management. I integrated it with multiple sources, from Gong to Asana, Google Drive, and more, and now we can easily rely on one single platform for all our knowledge needs.I especially love that you can verify content and schedule review timelines, which helps ensure everything stays up to date and that our information remains accurate and reliable.Honestly, I wouldn’t switch to any other platform. Guru covers all of our internal business needs perfectly.

Pros

  • The integrations with other tools and other sources are very easy to set up.
  • The interface is very intuitive and helps to organize the content in any specific and particular business need.
  • The AI agents are gathering not only the content added inside Guru but also the sources which can provide you responses to many, many business questions that you cannot always find the answers to with other tools.

Cons

  • What I'm missing, to be honest, is to have the functionality to be able to duplicate the content from one page to another in order just to do easy updates or edits.

Return on Investment

  • For our use case, it saved time across GTM teams, being able to support the knowledge management based on each team's needs and use cases and language, all in the same place.
  • We have been using the platform for the past six months. It's early to measure the ROI of it, but I can share that at least 20% of the time that we were investing in other tools was saved by Guru.

Guru was an excellent add at our business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a specialty service provider business that operates in a small niche within a larger industry. Company knowledge was always in various versions in various places or just 'in someone's head'. By using Guru to document all the things about our company, how we operate, process flows, products, specific knowledge - we gained a stronger sense of alignment company-wide and are able to provide a more consistent service to our clients.

Pros

  • Easy to learn. Anyone can make cards and use the AI to make them professional.
  • Answer questions about my business, essentially a wiki for everything we do.
  • The research mode is amazing. Full reports on various types of information including some rather complex topics. Complete with citations of where the information came from.
  • Admins can manage a hierarchy to keep information secure and available to the correct people.

Cons

  • I miss the public link option. It recently changed. Some of our old cards still work with this but we cannot make any more with this feature.
  • We don't really use the dashboard feature much (home page). We have other platforms like Slack that communicate that. Guru for use is knowledge searches and questions.
  • Better mobile functionality. Continue development of the app.

Return on Investment

  • Excellent value for the cost.
  • As you build your knowledge base, it begins to save time for you and your employees.
  • I often send Guru links for specific cards as an answer when someone asks me something.
  • "We should add that to Guru" is a common statement.

User-friendly software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is the main information resource for the company, especially in the customer experience department. It is utilized for every customer interaction. It makes finding policies and procedures easy to locate and includes all the relevant information on one card. It links macros for each SOP and scripting we might encounter on one page. It is an extremely user friendly program.

Pros

  • It has an user-friendly platform
  • All-in-one cards for each policy and procedure.
  • Easy search function
  • Groups content into collections

Cons

  • The only thing I think Guru could improve on is making the keywords used to search more universal, not industry lingo.

Return on Investment

  • It has directly had a positive effect on my successful training and ojt.

Search still needs work.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses Guru for standard operating procedures, defining technical terminology, and general how-tos for company processes. The whole company uses Guru, although my department makes up ~1/4 of the cards in our company Guru. My department regularly updates our standard operating procedures and adds new ones as new products/projects are added.

Pros

  • Linking to other cards.
  • Browsing cards.
  • The card manager is so helpful for keeping things up to date.

Cons

  • Regular search.
  • AI answers to questions.
  • Nothing else comes to mind

Most Important Features

  • Collections keep information organized by department but still accessible. This prevents silos.
  • Having an assigned verifier makes it easy to keep cards up to date.
  • Being able to see the edit history of cards is great for seeing changes over time.

Return on Investment

  • Guru has made it easier for my department to create SOPs for our processes. We've increased the number of cards we have in our collection from ~100 to >500.
  • Guru makes it easier for my department to provide definitions of technical terms to non-subject matter experts like our sales team
  • Sometimes other departments will review a card containing non-public information and get it confused with the public information. But they come to us for clarification rather than trusting the AI search results
