## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd consider them:
> 
> **1. Notion** - The default answer for most remote teams under ~200 people. Docs, wikis, databases, and project tracking live in one place, so you don't end up with a wiki nobody opens because the real work happens elsewhere. Its AI search across your workspace is genuinely good now. Downside: it's flexible to a fault - without someone owning structure, it turns into a swamp within a year.
> 
> **2. Confluence** - The right call if you're already on Jira/Atlassian or you're an engineering-heavy org. Proper page hierarchies, spaces, granular permissions, and audit trails that actually satisfy compliance people. It's heavier and uglier than the newer tools, but it scales to thousands of people in a way Notion doesn't.
> 
> **3. Guru** - Different philosophy, and the one I'd pick for support and sales teams. Instead of making people visit a wiki, it surfaces verified "cards" inside Slack, Teams, Chrome, and ChatGPT, and it pulls from Google Drive, Zendesk, and Confluence rather than demanding you migrate. The verification workflow (owner + expiry date per card) is the best answer I've seen to stale documentation.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
