Move your team from Tettra to Guru.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Guru — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in Tettra is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
Both products offer an AI assistant that answers employee questions by searching the knowledge base and returning cited answers. Guru's Knowledge Agents work across Slack, Teams, the web app, the browser extension, and MCP-compatible AI clients (Claude, Cursor, Copilot), pulling from 100+ connected sources. Tettra's Kai bot answers questions in Slack DMs and channels and within the Tettra web app, drawing on the Tettra knowledge base. To move from Guru to Tettra: ensure all key documentation is migrated into Tettra pages first (Kai can only answer from Tettra content, not from external source connections); install the Kai Slack app, invite it to the relevant channels, and direct employees to @mention Kai instead of Guru's Slack app. To move from Tettra to Guru: connect Guru's Slack app, point it to the same channels, then gradually add additional source connections (Google Drive, Jira, Zendesk) to extend answer coverage beyond what Tettra's isolated knowledge base provided.
- Warning: Guru Knowledge Agents search across 100+ connected external sources (Drive, Jira, Zendesk, Slack history, etc.); Tettra's Kai searches only content stored inside Tettra — teams relying on multi-source synthesis will lose that capability.
- Warning: Guru's agents include a Research Mode for complex multi-source questions and can detect knowledge gaps and draft card updates; Kai has no equivalent agentic knowledge-improvement loop.
- Warning: Kai is only available on Tettra's Scaling plan ($8/user/month, 10-user minimum) and Enterprise — teams on the Basic plan get no AI answering.
Both products assign document ownership and scheduled review cycles so content does not go silently stale. In Guru, each card has a verification interval and an assigned subject-matter expert; Guru sends reminders and marks cards verified/unverified with a visible trust signal. In Tettra, admins set verification schedules per page; Tettra emails page owners to re-verify, and a stale pages report surfaces overdue content. Migrating from Guru to Tettra: export the card ownership roster (owner + verification date) from Guru's admin dashboard, then in Tettra assign the same owners to the equivalent pages and configure matching review frequencies; Tettra's stale pages report replaces Guru's unverified-card queue. Migrating from Tettra to Guru: capture page ownership from Tettra's settings, create Guru cards with those owners and set verification intervals, and rely on Guru's trust-signal badge as the new freshness indicator.
- Warning: Guru's verification workflows (including automated agent-driven unverification) are available on all paid plans; Tettra's content verification is gated to the Scaling plan ($8/user/month, 10-user minimum) and Enterprise — teams on Tettra Basic lose scheduled reviews.
- Warning: Guru Knowledge Agents can automatically flag and unverify conflicting or outdated cards; Tettra has no equivalent automated agent — freshness management remains manual for admins.
- Warning: Guru supports approval workflows before publishing updated cards; Tettra does not have a multi-step publishing approval flow, only page locking.
Both products let employees query the knowledge base without leaving their daily workflow tools — primarily Slack. Guru's enterprise AI search spans 100+ connected sources with permission-aware results, citations, and explainability; it surfaces answers in Slack, Teams, the web app, the browser extension, and MCP-compatible clients. Tettra's Slack integration exposes Kai in Slack DMs and channels and can mine existing Slack conversations to surface frequently asked questions as knowledge gaps. To migrate from Guru's broader AI search to Tettra's Slack-based search: install the Tettra Slack app and invite Kai to channels where Guru's Slack app was active; brief employees that search scope is now limited to Tettra pages (not external tools); export Guru cards covering the most-searched topics and import them into Tettra first. To migrate from Tettra to Guru: install Guru's Slack app, connect it to the same Slack workspace, then progressively add external source connections (Google Drive, Confluence, Zendesk) to Guru so search scope grows beyond what Tettra covered.
- Warning: Guru's search is permission-aware across external sources (respecting each connected tool's RBAC); Tettra's search covers only content stored in Tettra with Tettra's own permissions model.
- Warning: Guru provides answer explainability with reasoning steps and source citations across all connected tools; Tettra's Kai shows source citations from Tettra pages only.
- Warning: Guru's browser extension surfaces answers inline in any web app or tool; Tettra has no browser extension — the Slack bot and web app are the only access points.
- Warning: Tettra Slack integration with Kai requires the Scaling plan ($8/user/month, 10-user minimum); basic Slack notifications are included on lower tiers but AI answering is gated.
Both products integrate with Google Workspace and Slack and offer APIs for custom workflows, though scope differs significantly. Guru connects 100+ tools (Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Jira, Zendesk, Slack, HRIS platforms like BambooHR and Workday, and CRM data) and syncs them into Team Hubs with role-based access. Tettra connects Google Workspace (converts Docs/Sheets/Slides into Tettra pages), GitHub, Zapier (1,000+ apps), Slack, and offers API access plus SSO/SCIM. To migrate from Guru to Tettra: identify which Guru source connections actively supply content employees search for; for Google Docs/Sheets, use Tettra's native Google Workspace import to pull that content in; for other sources (Jira, Zendesk, CRM), build Zapier automations or use the Tettra API to keep content in sync; accept that real-time bidirectional source sync is not available — Tettra content must be explicitly imported or maintained. To migrate from Tettra to Guru: connect Guru to the same Google Workspace, then progressively add Slack, Jira, and other source connectors so Guru's search spans the full stack Tettra was only partially covering.
- Warning: Guru's HRIS sync (BambooHR, Workday, Gusto, Personio, 20+ platforms) for org charts and employee profiles has no equivalent in Tettra — the intranet/org-chart layer is lost entirely.
- Warning: Tettra's SSO and SCIM are paid add-ons on the Scaling plan and included only on Enterprise; Guru includes SSO on Business and Enterprise plans — verify plan tier before migrating to avoid losing single sign-on.
- Warning: Tettra's Zapier integration enables workflow automation for 1,000+ apps but requires a separate Zapier subscription; Guru's native source connectors are included in its subscription.
- Guru's Team Hubs update in real time from connected sources; Tettra's Google Workspace integration imports a snapshot — content is not live-synced and must be re-imported when source documents change.
Both products store company knowledge as discrete structured documents (Guru calls them cards; Tettra calls them pages) organized into collections/categories with rich-text editing and granular permissions. To migrate from Guru to Tettra: export Guru cards via the API or bulk export (CSV + HTML), then import into Tettra using its Google Docs import path or paste content into the WYSIWYG editor; re-create Guru's collection hierarchy as Tettra categories; reassign page owners so verification schedules carry over. To migrate from Tettra to Guru: export pages via Tettra's HTML export, import the HTML into Guru cards using the API or manual paste, then rebuild collection structure and assign card owners. Tettra supports Markdown file import as an additional bulk path.
- Warning: Guru cards support embedded media and browser-extension contextual surfacing; Tettra pages do not have a browser extension, so context-in-workflow delivery is lost.
- Warning: Tettra's editor is intentionally simple (WYSIWYG, no custom templates); Guru supports richer formatting blocks and card templates, so complex card layouts will need reformatting.
- Warning: Tettra's free Basic plan caps users at 10 and lacks version-history export; Guru's free tier also has limits — confirm plan tier before bulk migration to avoid hitting export gates.
