Can I migrate our existing wiki content to Workbase?

More

How does Workbase's AI compare to Guru's?

More

Workbase's AI not only searches across all your content but also generates answers and creates content for you. It's more than just a search tool - it's your AI assistant for everything knowledge-related. Plus, Workbase's AI is trained on your private data, ensuring data security, which Guru doesn't do.

What about user adoption? Will my team actually use Workbase?

More

Workbase is designed for ease of use and integrates seamlessly into your existing workflows. We provide comprehensive training and support to ensure a smooth transition and high user adoption. You won't have issues like with Guru that reviewers say about it.

Is Guru worth the cost with its limitations?

More
