360Learning vs Guru
A plain-English comparison to help you choose between them.
The same knowledge, two destinations. Guru keeps it retrievable: a curated knowledge base whose agents give cited, permission-aware answers and actively maintain the content behind them, auto-verifying and unverifying material as sources change, delivered inside Slack, Teams and the browser where questions arise. 360Learning turns it into training instead, drawing expertise out of subject-matter experts and packaging it as structured courses people work through. Pick Guru when the need is an answer at the moment of work; pick 360Learning when the need is for someone to actually know the thing next time, which is a different and slower ambition.

Side by side
- Summary
360Learning is an AI-powered learning management platform designed for collaborative workplace training. It helps companies create courses quickly, personalise learning, automate administrative tasks and capture knowledge from internal experts. It is best suited to employee onboarding, compliance training, upskilling and customer education.
- Best for
- Turning internal expertise into structured employee training
- Collaborative course creation across teams and subject-matter experts
- Faster, more consistent employee onboarding
- Scaling compliance, upskilling and professional development
- AI-assisted learning with less LMS administration
- Cost
- Paid only
- Ease
- Openness
- Hosted service
- Data
- Course content and learner data sit under standard SaaS enterprise terms. AI-generated course drafts inherit the quality of your source material, so subject-matter review stays in the loop.
- Summary
Guru positions itself as the governed knowledge layer for enterprise AI. It is a curated company knowledge base whose Knowledge Agents give cited, permission-aware answers and actively maintain the content behind them, auto-verifying and unverifying material as sources change.
The maintenance is the differentiator. Automated knowledge quality detects conflicting content, merges duplicates, flags stale material and identifies gaps, documentation drafts itself from Slack threads, and MCP support lets agents retrieve and act in tools such as Asana, Slack and Salesforce. More than 100 integrations, including real-time Slack search, Teams and a browser extension, put answers where people already work.
MoreLess
It is a sales-led enterprise purchase, packaged to the organisation, with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, SSO and audit trails behind it.
- Best for
- Cited, permission-aware answers from a verified knowledge base
- Knowledge Agents that maintain content as well as retrieve it
- Automated conflict detection, duplicate merging and stale-content flagging
- Answers inside Slack, Teams and the browser where questions arise
- Regulated organisations needing SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and audit trails
- Cost
- Enterprise
- Ease
- Openness
- Hosted service
- Data
- Guru's governance posture is the pitch. SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA compliance, SSO and audit trails, with permission-aware answers that respect role-based scoping, which is what makes deployment in regulated environments plausible. The discipline to keep is editorial rather than technical. AI-generated answers about policy, legal or compliance content are retrieval aids, not authoritative guidance, and the verification workflows that keep content owned and current reduce but do not eliminate owner review of regulated material. It is a closed, hosted platform, so treat connector scope, answer-audit trails and current security documentation as part of the rollout review.

By area
Where each one pulls ahead, area by area.
| Area | 360Learning | Guru |
|---|---|---|
| By job | ||
| HR & recruiting | 360Learning bets that your strongest teachers already work inside the organisation, turning existing documents and internal knowledge into course drafts, quizzes and summaries so expertise becomes repeatable training | Guru turns HR's most repeated question set into a governed answer layer, scoped so manager-only guidance stays with managers while the parental-leave policy reaches everyone, and stale-content flags catch last year's handbook before it answers this year's question |
| By task | ||
| Search & knowledge retrieval | 360Learning treats internal knowledge as something to be taught rather than looked up, packaging expertise into courses people complete | Guru maintains a governed layer of verified knowledge and answers from that, with conflict detection, duplicate merging and stale-content flags keeping the corpus answerable rather than merely large |
Common questions
Is training just a slow answer?
Only for questions that arise once. The distinction that matters is repetition: a policy someone checks twice a year should be looked up, and Guru's maintenance model keeps that lookup trustworthy. A process every new joiner must internalise should be taught, because answering it on demand forever is more expensive than teaching it once. Most companies need both and buy only one.
How does Guru keep its content from rotting?
Actively, which is its actual differentiator. Automated knowledge quality detects conflicting content, merges duplicates, flags stale material and identifies gaps, and material is auto-verified and unverified as sources change. That maintenance is the reason to prefer it over a wiki; the retrieval on its own is less unusual than the upkeep behind it.
What are the limits on regulated content?
Both stop short of authority, and say so. Guru's AI answers about policy, legal or compliance content are retrieval aids rather than authoritative guidance, and verification workflows reduce without eliminating owner review. 360Learning scales compliance training but does not certify that the training is correct. In regulated ground, a named human owner remains the control, whichever tool delivers the words.
