Hey Product Hunt !👋|

You've probably used AI to vibe code or for research, but it's missing the context that matters most. Your AI can't read yesterday's Slack threads, doesn't know what's in your Google Drive, and the best features are locked behind paywalls.

Today, we're launching AI that knows your world—privately and securely—with Onyx.

Onyx is your team’s entry point to all things GenAI, combining the most powerful AI features, your data, and your LLMs in an intuitive chat UI.

With Onyx, you can ask questions like:

  • "What do Redditors say about Cursor vs. Windsurf?"

  • "What were my action items this week? Prep my 1:1 notes for tomorrow"

  • "Read this CSV and calculate our MRR growth rate against our year-end goals"

To do this, we’ve built features like:

  • Deep Research with web and internal search

  • MCP actions

  • Custom agents

  • Permission-synced data connectors

  • Access through website, Chrome extension, or Slack bot

Did I mention that Onyx is open source? You can deploy Onyx locally, for free, and guarantee that your data stays within your boundaries.

To celebrate our launch, we’re offering three months free on Onyx Cloud! Message us at [email protected] to claim :)


Really excited for you all to check it out and hear your thoughts! ❤️

Huge thanks to @garrytan for hunting us!

Congrats. Love the Product! I’ve done two on-prem setups for prev companies. Great team, love the velocity you guys ship at.

It looks super promising! Love the privacy-first + open-source approach. Excited to see how far the custom agents can go 🚀

What are some of the top use-cases with the slack integration? also could you share more about the upcoming workflows? thanks! looks great so far! 🚀

This looks really cool! I'm impressed by how Onyx offers tools for planning and scheduling product launches. How does the user feedback collection work? Do users get notified when surveys are available?

I've seen discussions about how overwhelming product launches can be for creators. It’s always a pain to juggle all the tasks.

If you want to connect with those creators who need help managing their launches, I can point you to some conversations where they are actively looking for solutions.

Amazing. Onyx is simply transformative for making sure everybody at a company is up to speed- not just on the company's internal information, but on AI generally. Haven't seen any products match Onyx's caliber in that sense.

Looks awesome! Building open source seems to be a good advantage where you can source a lot more integrations, etc. from the community!

Congrats to the Onyx team on the launch!🎉 I’m building custom research agents and deeply believe in private, team-specific knowledge work—Onyx’s flexible, local deployment really stands out. I’m curious about scaling for multi-team usage:

  • How does Onyx manage secure context passing and persistent memory when collaborating across projects and channels?

  • Is there support for fine-tuning agent behavior or workflows for different departments—like engineering vs. sales—within a single deployment?

Would love to hear how early users set up efficient “agent teams” and what’s next in terms of enterprise scalability scenarios?

We've been using Onyx for a couple of months now and it's a really great project. Great product, super talented & responsive team. Really recommend it for anyone that wants to use/build a chatbot application.

We use Onyx at my company (Okteto), and it’s been a total game changer. Being able to search across our “company brain” (Jira, Slack, Notion, public docs) makes everyone more effective and self-sufficient. It’s one of those tools I can’t imagine working without anymore.

Love how much thought the team has put into getting things right from the get go. As an example, the MCP implementation has the most flexible authentication I've come across. This is a team that sweats the details. Can't wait to see how others start using the solution and realize how powerful it is.

All open-source projects, I greatly support. Thank you for your contributions to the open-source community!

I will try to deploy Onyx on my own PC, and give you a star on GitHub as a side note.

One of the best search+chat experiences with very detailed and accurate insights with features like MCP and deep research!

Who hunted Onyx?

Onyx was hunted by Garry Tan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
