Overall Satisfaction with Guru
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.
- Linking to other cards.
- Browsing cards.
- The card manager is so helpful for keeping things up to date.
- Regular search.
- AI answers to questions.
- Nothing else comes to mind
- 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.
- 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
Guru is easier to update. Employees prefer reviewing shorter, more focused Guru cards over reading an entire Google doc for the relevant information. Google Drive has far better search capabilities, but is not as fast as Guru. Our sales department especially appreciates our Guru Encyclopedia collection that provides short definitions rather than reading out an entire Google Doc or Wikipedia entry
