Guru is a paid knowledge platform for publishing trusted answers inside an organization. It combines a unified retrieval index and hybrid search across connected sources with Knowledge Agents that answer questions using governed content, citations, and permission-aware access. Guru connects to more than 100 enterprise tools, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Zendesk, Confluence, and SharePoint. Automated verification uses usage signals, content age, and policy rules; Guru says this handles approximately 80–90% of verification. MCP support lets compatible AI tools and agents access the governed knowledge layer. A browser extension for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera surfaces answers in the workflow. Mobile apps support searching, viewing, sharing, and copying Cards, with listed requirements of iOS 12.1 or later and Android 10. Connected-source permissions carry across surfaces, alongside role-based access controls and single sign-on. Guru lists SOC 2 Type II auditing, GDPR support, Microsoft 365 and Google CASA certifications, and optional HIPAA agreements. Pricing is custom and available on request.
