Onyx
Onyx continuously crawls and indexes data from 40+ enterprise tools: Slack, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, GitHub, Salesforce, and more. Your AI always has up-to-date company knowledge without anyone manually uploading files. Permission syncing ensures users only see what they have access to.
LibreChat
LibreChat's RAG uses LangChain + PGVector and works exclusively on files that users manually upload. There's no shared organizational knowledge base, no admin-curated document collections, and no way to automatically pull from enterprise tools. The SharePoint integration is a read-only file picker, not automated sync. If your team's knowledge lives in Slack threads, Confluence pages, or Google Docs, LibreChat can't reach it.
