AI-powered enterprise knowledge management, internal wiki, and knowledge-agent platform

Guru bet the platform on Knowledge Agents — now it's building the controls to run them at scale.

◆Current state
Guru has repositioned from a wiki-style knowledge base into an AI Knowledge Agent platform, and the last quarter's releases make that unmistakable. Almost every recent entry is about the agent layer: automations, guardrails, per-skill permissions, and now conversational agent configuration. The classic editor still gets attention, but the center of gravity has clearly shifted to making agents controllable and enterprise-safe.
◆Where it's heading
The pattern is a deliberate march toward enterprise-grade agent governance: jailbreak detection, per-skill RBAC, source-scoped quality, and Microsoft 365 action-taking all landed within weeks of each other. Guru is pushing its agents to be more autonomous (scheduled automations, M365 actions) and more controllable (guardrails, permissions) at the same time. Operator Mode ties it together by letting non-technical owners build and debug agents in plain language.
◆Prediction
Expect the next releases to deepen agent autonomy and observability — richer automation triggers, more action-capable connectors beyond Microsoft 365, and analytics on what agents actually did. The simultaneous investment in guardrails suggests each new capability will ship paired with a matching control.

    Operator Mode

    ⚡ SPARK

    The capstone of Guru's agent-governance push: instead of clicking through settings, owners configure and debug Knowledge Agents in plain language, and the agent explains which skills fired and why. It lowers the skill floor for running the agents the rest of this quarter's releases have been hardening.

    Microsoft Work IQ

    Extends Knowledge Agents from answering questions to acting across Microsoft 365 — Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Word, Excel — in real time under a user's existing permissions. It's the action-taking half of Guru's agent story, though gated behind a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

    Manage Skill Permissions

    Adds per-skill access control so sensitive skills can be scoped to specific users or groups while the agent stays broadly available, with a lock indicator hiding restricted skills from others. A governance building block that makes 'one agent, layered access' practical for larger orgs.

    Create Guardrails for your Knowledge Agents

    Jailbreak detection plus custom plain-language input rules, enforced across web chat, search, API, and Slack. Part of the same enterprise-safety wave as skill permissions — making agents defensible before they're deployed widely, though both guardrails ship off by default.

    Automate Your Knowledge Agents!

    Moves agents from reactive Q&A to scheduled autonomous work — write a prompt, pick a cadence, and the agent runs on its own, e.g. nightly Slack scraping for knowledge gaps. Requires agents with Skills, reinforcing Skills as the platform's core unit of work.

    Merge Cells in Table Editor

    A classic-editor improvement amid the agent-heavy roadmap: merge and split table cells in Cards and Pages, and keep merged cells intact when pasting from Google Docs. Minor, but a reminder Guru still invests in the human authoring surface that feeds the agents.
