Onyx

Onyx is an open-source AI platform that functions as an enterprise search system, allowing teams to retrieve information across their company data and use it with large language models. It provides a chat interface that connects to various data sources including cloud storage, messaging platforms, and documentation systems, and delivers relevant context to both humans and AI agents. The platform is designed to work with any large language model and emphasizes data privacy through self-hosted deployment options.

Developed by onyx-dot-app and written in Python, Onyx employs advanced search techniques to retrieve relevant documents from multiple sources in parallel and generate answers efficiently. The platform includes features for enforcing data access permissions, optimizing token usage, and reducing operational costs compared to alternative search approaches. It is distributed as open-source software.
