Onyx (formerly Danswer) is an open-source AI chat and RAG platform that connects to your company's docs and apps for grounded, cited answers, and works with any LLM. It is self-hosted via Docker/Kubernetes and supports local models, keeping data on your own infrastructure. The core is MIT-licensed and free; an open-core model puts optional enterprise features under a separate license, and the vendor also offers a managed cloud.
