Filo vs Guru: The Basics

Guru and Filo are both knowledge base software, but they tackle team questions differently.

• Guru: Think of it as a powerful, centralized search engine. It pulls info from tools like Notion, Intercom, Zendesk, and Google Drive. Great if your team thrives on structured docs and dashboards.

• Filo: Built for Slack-first teams, Filo acts as an AI answer agent that captures, organizes, and delivers knowledge straight from chats and connected tools - no hunting required.

If Guru is your team’s tidy filing cabinet, Filo is the colleague who actually knows where everything is.
