VERDICT

Should I use Guru?

The Governed Knowledge Layer for Enterprise AI - getguru.com

Depends. Buy for 50+ person support, sales, or ops teams that need verified, AI-served answers inside Zendesk, Intercom, or Teams. Skip it below ~40 people — Notion or a lighter wiki covers you at a fraction of the cost.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources: G2 reviews, Reddit threads, pricing trackers, vendor pages. Some quotes truncated in source snippets.
