Open Source AI Chat
We built an open source chat interface that connects directly to a company's documents, apps, and people. Onyx syncs from Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Confluence, Salesforce, and more, creating a single place where employees can ask questions and get precise answers anytime. It's like having your most knowledgeable teammates available 24/7, but without waiting or hunting through complex tools.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here as well.
San Francisco is where we live and where the team is already established. Being here keeps us close to key customers and engineering talent.
