    "description": "Danswer (rebranded as Onyx) as a self-hostable enterprise knowledge\nfabric. Multi-connector architecture supporting 25+ data sources including\nConfluence, Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Notion, and Jira. Hybrid\nretrieval (dense + sparse) with cross-encoder re-ranking provides\nhigh-quality answers with citations. Document-level access control\nrespects source permissions. Self-hostable with Docker Compose for\norganizations that cannot use cloud-based knowledge services. As a\nknowledge fabric, Danswer provides an open-source alternative to Glean\nfor enterprise knowledge unification.\n",

    "notes": "Danswer's access control model is its key differentiator among open-source\nRAG apps — it inherits permissions from source systems, so users only see\nanswers grounded in documents they have access to. This makes it suitable\nfor enterprise deployment where information security is non-negotiable.\nThe trade-off versus Glean is operational overhead of self-hosting.\n"
