About the Company

Onyx is the open source GenAI platform connected to your company's docs, apps, and people. We ingest and sync from all sources of information (Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Confluence, Salesforce, etc.) to provide a centralized place for users to ask about anything. Imagine your most knowledgeable co-workers, all-rolled into one, and available 24/7!

We believe that every modern team will be adopting knowledge enhanced GenAI within the next 5 years and it is our goal to bring this technology to all the teams of the world.

We raised a $10M seed coming out of YCombinator, backed by Khosla Ventures (early/seed backers of OpenAI, Doordash, GitLab, etc.) and First Round Capital (Notion, Square, Roblox, etc.). Our customers include some of the best teams in the world like Netflix, Ramp, Applied Intuition and dozens of others. We also have incredible open source users like Roku, Zendesk, L3Harris and more.
