Guru
Governed knowledge platform that keeps verified workplace answers close to where people work, with AI search layered on cards and sources teams can trust.
Support, sales, and internal ops teams that need AI answers grounded in verified knowledge cards and policies.
Deal teams that mainly need Matrix-style diligence across external document dumps.
Verdict
Guru is a good fit when the risk is wrong internal answers, not a shortage of PDFs. Public revenue estimates place it in the low-to-mid thirties of millions. Practitioners like verified cards and browser/extension workflows; diligence-heavy research teams may still prefer Hebbia-style document analysis platforms.
