Helm is great package.

Let us say you would have Hyperbole, you would then simply click
action key on following line:
{M-x customize-apropos RET helm SPC fuzzy RET}

and get the helm fuzzy options. without writing the above.

It is not equivalent to Org. There is file to read Why Use {C-h h d w}
and you come back with {C-h h h}. GNU Hyperbole is replacing so many
other new packages that reinvent its features, manages frames,
windows, remembers frame positions, jumps to various links, has per
directory link or button files for quick jumping from file to file,
jumps quickly from emacs-lisp function to its definition or various
other resources and it is not dependent of specific mode such as Org
mode
