What is Onyx?
AI search and chat over company apps and documents, with agents, on your servers or in the cloud.
Who is Onyx best for?
Onyx is best for companies that want self-hosted AI search and chat across all their work apps.
Search across work apps
Onyx indexes more than 40 apps along with their permissions, so each answer draws only on documents that person may see.
Air-gapped or regulated companies
The index, database and processing run as one self-contained set of services, and the embedding model and LLM can run locally too.
Teams that build their own agents
Custom agents get their own knowledge, instructions and actions through MCP or OpenAPI, plus web search and a code sandbox.
Developers using coding agents
Its MCP server gives Claude Code, Codex or other MCP clients company context under the same access controls as the person using them.
