Guru Alternative
From hand-written knowledge cards to source-document answers: where does the maintenance burden go?
TL;DR
KobiGPT focuses on isolated RAG assistants over your documents with SME-friendly pricing. Guru is stronger for wiki-style knowledge—compare citations, hosting, and TR support.

The maintenance problem in card-based knowledge management
In wiki and card-based knowledge bases, content is written by hand: someone summarises a topic, turns it into a card, and verifies it periodically. The model works, but rests on an assumption — that an owner exists to keep the cards current. In practice that ownership weakens over time; verification dates lapse, cards drift from the source document, and two truths emerge: what the card says and what the procedure says.
The drift becomes most visible when legislation or a procedure changes. The procedure file is updated but the card summarising it is not; the team reads the card and acts on the old rule. The card-based system is not itself flawed, but it requires continuous human maintenance.
Answering from the source document
KobiGPT takes a different approach: it produces no intermediate summary layer, indexing the source document and answering from it directly. When the procedure file is updated it is re-indexed and answers automatically reflect the new content; there is no separate card left to update.
The cost of this is that answer quality binds directly to document quality. A well-written procedure produces good answers; a vague or contradictory document produces vague answers. In a card system a human resolves that ambiguity while writing; in a document-based system it must be resolved in the document itself.
What happens to your cards during migration
Your existing cards are not lost; you can export and upload them as documents. But the practical recommendation differs: rather than moving the cards, attaching the source documents the cards summarise usually produces better results. A card is already an interpretation of a source, and indexing the interpretation creates a double layer.
During migration the cards make a good audit tool: where a card and the assistant's source-grounded answer disagree, either the document or the card is out of date. That comparison makes the real debt in your knowledge base visible. The 100-document capacity on the Ücretsiz plan plan is enough to run that audit.
FAQ
Can we migrate from Guru?
Export your docs and upload them; they are re-indexed in KobiGPT.
Do you integrate with Microsoft/Google?
Direct upload is the native path; there is no ready Microsoft or Google connector.
Is KobiGPT cheaper?
Depends on seats and usage—verify list prices on official sites.
Security?
Review our privacy and KVKK pages; self-hosted available.
Can we import our cards?
You can export and upload them as documents. Attaching the source documents the cards summarise usually produces better results.
Is there a verification-date mechanism?
There is no card verification workflow; the assistant reflects the files attached to it. Currency comes from maintaining the document set.
