{"id":77913,"title":"Onyx - Open Source Unified Search","tagline":"Connect to all your team’s tools (like Confluence, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, etc.) for a single place to Search and Chat with your team’s documents","body":"**TL;DR**: Imagine a secure ChatGPT with access to your team’s specific knowledge. As modern teams grow, knowledge becomes dispersed and hard to find. By giving Large Language Models access to parse your knowledge base, [Onyx](https://onyx.app/) can instantly filter through millions of documents to only surface what is relevant.\n\n**Try for Free Here:** [**https://cloud.onyx.app/**](https://cloud.onyx.app/)\n\n**Get Started On-Prem:** [**https://docs.onyx.app/quickstart**](https://docs.onyx.app/quickstart)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=77913\u0026key=user_uploads/1493761/4c37d5b8-5919-4dab-8d27-c2aa2af46a23)\n\nWe’ve seen teams use Onyx to improve efficiencies from:\n\n* Improving turnaround times for **support** by reducing the time taken to find relevant documentation.\n* Helping **sales teams** get customer context instantly by combing through calls and notes.\n* Preventing lost **engineering** time to answering cross-team questions, building duplicate features due to the inability to surface old tickets or code merges, and helping **on-call** resolve critical issues faster by providing the complete history of an error in one place\n* Self-serving **onboarding** for new members who don’t know where to find information.\n\n### Our Differentiation:\n\nOnyx is [open source](https://github.com/danswer-ai/danswer). You have complete transparency into what is going on with your team’s documents. The deployment of Onyx and your data are completely in your control (we do also offer a [Cloud](https://www.danswer.ai/) version if you prefer being hands-off). You can hook Onyx up with any LLM of your choice or one in-house if you prefer.\n\nOnyx uses the latest methods in information retrieval to make the most of the revolution that is happening in the natural language processing space. Specifically, we use prefix-aware embedding models trained with contrastive loss + BM25 Hybrid Search with reranking options and additional pipeline improvements such as query expansion etc.\n\nYou can also use Onyx to directly get answers in Slack (MS Teams, Discord to come). Many teams have been using this to auto-answer cross-team questions.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=77913\u0026key=user_uploads/1493761/6813b7f1-9fed-4778-9874-52de4a20bef2)\n\n### Our Ask/Offer:\n\nReach out to us if you’re interested in using Onyx, you can schedule a call with us on [Cal](https://cal.com/team/danswer/founders).
