Where BeforeQuery focuses differently
Different formats, complementary tools
Guidde is best at 'capture how I did this and turn it into a video'. BeforeQuery is best at 'answer questions from all our documented processes and docs, with citations, everywhere users ask'. Many teams use Guidde to author video walkthroughs (which get embedded in Confluence / Notion / Zendesk) and then index those pages into BeforeQuery so the video content becomes answerable Q&A.
Video as a source, not just a destination
BeforeQuery's YouTube connector transcribes and indexes video content — so a Guidde-produced video published to YouTube becomes searchable, retrievable, and citable. Public Guidde playlists can be indexed the same way.
Every chat surface, one knowledge base
BeforeQuery answers on your docs widget, in Slack / Discord / Teams bots, in your helpdesk (Support Ticket AI), and inside AI IDEs (MCP). Guidde produces videos; BeforeQuery's chat is where users ask 'is there a video that shows this?' and get a linked answer.
Grounded RAG, not just video search
BeforeQuery generates cited answers with an abstention gate for low confidence — a full RAG pipeline that reasons across docs, wikis, tickets, and (via the YouTube connector) videos. Guidde's search finds the right video; BeforeQuery generates a chat answer that could span several docs plus a linked video.

Can BeforeQuery index Guidde-produced videos?
Yes — via the YouTube connector for public videos, or via the file connector if you export the transcript. Once indexed, video content becomes retrievable and citable like any other source.
