Contribute a Guide

Write what only you know. AI has read almost everything that has been written down. It has not read your experience: the diagnosis, the move, the failure you recovered from. Write it here, in your own words, so the next person, and the next AI, gets it right.

GuruCloud grows through people who share what they know. If you have solved a problem others still face, by training or by experience, we would like to hear from you.

Two kinds of gurus

  • Trained gurus: people trained in a profession through an academic or formal process, such as a physician, lawyer, engineer or accountant, writing within their field.
  • Experienced gurus: people who learned the hard way, by living through it. Often the most useful guidance comes from here.

First-hand only

Every guide must come from your own training or from something you personally experienced or witnessed first-hand. No second-hand stories, nothing you only read about, and no experience generated by AI. You may use AI to help with wording or structure, but the experience and the facts must be yours. Each guide states its basis: training, experience, or both.

What a good guide looks like

  1. Solves one specific problem.
  2. States who it is for and what you need before you start.
  3. Gives clear, numbered steps in order.
  4. Lists common mistakes.
  5. States your basis (trained, experienced first-hand, or both) and the date you last verified it.
  6. Links to official sources where they exist.
