Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index Report calls it the "infinite workday"—that creeping feeling that work never really ends. Employees are logging in earlier, checking messages late into the night, and juggling constant notifications. Meetings, emails, chats, and app-switching pile up, making it harder than ever to carve out focus time.
But what if your tools didn't just add to the chaos, but instead, actually helped you cut through it?
Guru is designed to do exactly that. With AI-powered features that put trusted information exactly where teams need it, Guru helps people reclaim their time and attention.
The root causes of the infinite workday
There’s no single cause behind the always-on culture, but there are a few recurring culprits. Understanding what’s fueling the overload is the first step toward solving it.
Information overload
The average knowledge worker gets hit with hundreds of messages a day across multiple platforms. Trying to find the right answer often means digging through emails, Slack threads, or dusty docs, a time sink that adds hours to the day. And when time is short, even small delays in getting information can snowball into lost productivity.
Lack of focus time
Interruptions are constant. Context switching is the norm. When knowledge is scattered and ownership is unclear, people spend more time asking questions than doing their actual work. Without clearly defined workflows and easy access to answers, deep focus becomes a luxury instead of the norm.
Blurred boundaries
When questions are left unanswered during the day, employees often log back in at night or on weekends to catch up. It’s not sustainable. This erosion of boundaries between work and personal time leads to burnout and diminished performance over time.
How Guru’s AI features help reclaim your time
Guru not only stores information, it actively helps you use it better. Whether you're searching for knowledge, documenting insights, refining existing content, or sharing it with your team, Guru is built to support the entire journey of your company’s knowledge. Here’s how its AI-driven features reduce noise, restore focus, and make knowledge work actually work.
AI-powered search that eliminates the hunt
Guru connects to your company’s apps—Google Drive, Slack, Salesforce, and so many more—and indexes them into a single source of truth. But it goes beyond search. Guru’s Knowledge Agents deliver curated, role-specific answers that understand context, so your HR team isn’t sifting through product specs and your sales team isn’t reading through legal policies.
The result: fewer searches, faster answers, and way less time spent digging. It also means employees can trust that what they find is accurate and relevant.
Smart suggestions that reduce repeat questions
Guru proactively pushes the right information where it’s needed. Someone asks a question in Slack? Guru chimes in with the verified answer. Working in a support tool like Zendesk? Guru's browser extension includes intelligent Suggested Prompts that help users get better answers, faster. These prompts are designed to guide users on what to ask Guru’s AI-powered answers tool based on common queries, patterns in the content, or the context of what they’re working on.
It also tracks trending questions, helping you spot knowledge gaps before they spiral into team-wide time drains. That way, you can fix problems before they become widespread.
AI Assist makes documenting knowledge painless
Most teams know they need better documentation, but they simply don’t have the time to create it. Guru changes that. When someone asks a question that hasn’t been answered yet, Guru’s AI content assist can generate a draft instantly. SMEs just review, tweak, and publish.
This means documentation happens in the flow of work, not as a separate chore. And because it starts with a real user need, it’s more likely to be useful and up to date.
Humans in the loop = trustworthy AI
Guru’s AI Agent Center ensures you always know where answers are coming from. Subject-matter experts can review flagged questions, edit AI-generated responses, and boost trusted sources, creating a continuous loop of improvement.
It’s AI you can actually trust, because your experts are part of the process. This combination of automation and human oversight helps maintain quality and consistency at scale.
What teams gain when AI is actually helpful
When the right information is easy to find—and even easier to trust—everyone benefits. Guru’s AI features lead to:
More time for deep, focused work: Less time searching or asking means more time spent on meaningful tasks.
Fewer pings, questions, and distractions: When knowledge is easy to access, repeat questions drop.
Confidence that the info they need is always at their fingertips: Trust in the tool translates to fewer second-guessing cycles.
A clearer boundary between work and personal life: When work gets done during work hours, teams can truly unplug afterward.
You can’t escape the modern workday, but you can make it work for you
The reality is, knowledge work isn’t getting any simpler. But with Guru, it can become a whole lot smarter. When your team spends less time searching and more time executing, the "infinite workday" starts to feel a lot more finite.
