Boomi and Guru have formed a technology partnership linking Guru's knowledge platform with Boomi's data tools, making Guru a launch partner for Boomi Connect.

The arrangement is intended to help organisations combine verified internal knowledge with live operational data for use by employees and AI agents. Guru's knowledge agents will be able to pull information from enterprise systems through Boomi's managed connector service and tools listed in Boomi's MCP Registry.

The move comes as businesses try to improve the quality of answers produced by AI systems, which often rely on fragmented or outdated internal information. In many companies, data is spread across software-as-a-service applications, custom systems and legacy infrastructure, making it harder to provide current responses.

Boomi Connect provides access to more than 1,000 enterprise tools for AI use. The service manages credential lifecycles, identity mapping and secure tool execution, allowing software providers such as Guru to connect to new data sources without building integrations from scratch.

The partnership also brings Guru into Boomi's MCP Registry, a catalogue of Model Context Protocol servers intended to give organisations a central place to discover and govern tools that connect AI agents with enterprise systems.

By listing Guru as an MCP server, its knowledge functions can be discovered by AI agents and frameworks that support the protocol, widening the ways Guru's system can be used in broader AI workflows.

Closing gaps

Guru's platform is designed to give businesses a verified source of company knowledge, while Boomi focuses on integration, automation and data management. Together, they aim to address a common problem in corporate AI projects: trusted documents may explain policy or process, but live system data is often needed to show what is happening at that moment.

That distinction matters in areas such as customer support, operations and internal decision-making, where an answer based only on static knowledge may be incomplete. Linking the two data types could allow an AI agent to respond with both approved company guidance and current records from business systems.

The relationship also goes beyond information retrieval. When Guru identifies a business issue or opportunity, Boomi's orchestration tools can trigger workflows, update records or alert staff across enterprise systems.

This would let organisations connect AI-generated insight to follow-up action rather than limiting these systems to answering queries. Such processes can run through agents built in Boomi's Agentstudio product, through integration workflows that combine several agents, or through third-party agent frameworks.

Ed Macosky outlined Boomi's view of the partnership.

"Enterprise AI is only as good as the data that feeds it. Our partnership with Guru demonstrates the power of Boomi's platform as the data activation layer for the agentic enterprise," said Ed Macosky, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Boomi. "With Boomi Connect and the MCP Registry, we're making it simple for knowledge platforms and AI agents to access governed, real-time enterprise data from over a thousand sources. Guru is exactly the kind of high-value partner we built Boomi Connect for, and together we're showing what's possible when you combine deep integration expertise with intelligent knowledge delivery."

Launch partner

Boomi selected Guru as a launch partner because knowledge platforms represent a strong use case for managed enterprise connectivity. Its view is that knowledge agents need direct access to broad, current data sources to deliver reliable results.

For Guru, the agreement adds direct links into enterprise systems at a time when many software vendors are trying to position themselves as trusted AI layers within companies. Access to current customer records, operational metrics and application data could make its responses more useful in day-to-day work.

Guru Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder Rick Nucci said weak data remains a central problem for AI deployments.

"AI systems don't fail because of intelligence - they fail because of inconsistent, outdated knowledge," said Rick Nucci, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, Guru. "Guru serves as the AI Source of Truth, ensuring enterprise knowledge is verified, governed, and current. By partnering with Boomi at the launch of Boomi Connect, we're extending that trusted knowledge into the systems where real work happens - giving AI agents reliable context and access to live business data across the enterprise."

Guru Knowledge Agent is now available in the Boomi Marketplace.
