Common Questions

Does Orqestr have knowledge base features?+

Yes. Orqestr has a knowledge system with project docs and task artifacts. Agents produce artifacts during execution, share them across tasks, and can promote them to project-wide knowledge. The difference is it's part of an execution platform, not a standalone Q&A tool.

Can Orqestr answer questions about company documents?+

Yes, by connecting document sources via MCP servers. But Orqestr's primary value is in executing multi-step workflows across tools - the knowledge system supports that execution, rather than being the sole purpose.

How does billing compare?+

Cassidy uses per-seat enterprise pricing. Orqestr uses transparent per-model metered billing with included AI credits and spending caps. You pay for what you use, not per head count.
