💚 Guru Works with Evolve's Most Loved Apps

To save you time and context switching, Guru has the Guru Browser Extension (click to install) that we highly recommend you install. It allows you to quickly access Guru from all the apps you use every day.

You'll also notice that we have Guru integrated with Slack, so you should not have to go far to get the answers you need.

💡 Tip

The browser extension is the most effective way to use Guru. It is highly encouraged you use this as your main Guru search tool, that way you never have to leave the workflow you are already in.
