holaOS vs research-hub

holaOS: holaOS is an agent environment built for long-horizon work, continuity, and self-evolution. It provides agents with a structured operating system including runtime, memory, tools, apps, and durable state, enabling them to operate continuously, evolve over time, and remain inspectable across different runs.; research-hub: research-hub connects Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM into a unified, AI-operable research workspace. It provides a CLI, MCP server, REST API, and dashboard for repeatable literature workflows. The tool is local-first and allows users to start with any two of the three platforms.
