What is Suggested Answers in Slack?
Suggested Answers in Slack allows admins to set up workflows where Guru will monitor selected public Slack channels and automatically suggest answers to questions using knowledge from Guru cards shared with all members. This saves employees time by giving them quick access to trusted information without needing to leave their conversations.

How does Suggested Answers in Slack work?
When admins enable Suggested Answers for a channel, Guru will scan messages in that channel for questions denoted by a "?" at the end. If Guru finds a relevant answer in cards available to all members, it will suggest that knowledge in a threaded reply under the original question. Users don't need to remember any Slack commands or workflows to benefit from this automatic surfacing of answers.
