# How Ocho compares

> Where Ocho fits among second brains, note tools, and AI research assistants.

Every tool in this space asks you to do the same thing: start over. Write your notes in our app. Upload your files to our notebook. Move your docs into our workspace. Ocho starts from the opposite premise — **your company's knowledge already exists**. It's in SharePoint, Notion, Google Drive, GitHub, email threads, and file shares. The problem isn't creating a second brain; it's that the first one is scattered, unsearchable, and walking out the door with every departing employee.

Ocho connects to what you already have, ingests it continuously, builds the datasets and knowledge graph automatically, and gives your whole team one AI experience over all of it — with citations you can check.

## Start here

- [Why do I need Ocho?](/docs/market-comparison/why-do-i-need-ocho) — the

case, with numbers.

## The concepts

- [What is a knowledge graph?](/docs/market-comparison/what-is-a-knowledge-graph)
- [What is agentic ingestion?](/docs/market-comparison/what-is-agentic-ingestion)
- [What is agentic RAG search?](/docs/market-comparison/what-is-agentic-rag-search)

## The comparisons

- [Ocho vs. Karpathy's second brain](/docs/market-comparison/ocho-vs-karpathys-second-brain)
- [Ocho vs. Obsidian](/docs/market-comparison/ocho-vs-obsidian)
- [Ocho vs. NotebookLM](/docs/market-comparison/ocho-vs-notebooklm)
- [Ocho vs. Zaro AI](/docs/market-comparison/ocho-vs-zaro-ai)
- [Ocho vs. Notion](/docs/market-comparison/ocho-vs-notion)

Each comparison is honest about what the other tool does well. They're good tools. They're just built for a different job.
