@onyx_dot_app is joining @Zoom! We started Onyx in 2023 because we believed enterprise search needed to be open source. At Zoom, we'll be working on the same product and toward the same mission.

many say file search has "killed vector search" but our tests show it's more complicated than that: - hybrid search is faster and more token efficient - hybrid search better at scale - file search better on complex, multi-document questions blog: onyx.app/blog/file-search-vs…

Every enterprise AI tool right now is trying to be a chatbot. This works for maybe 30% of workplace questions. Most of the time, people just need to find something. A doc, a thread, a spec. Onyx now does both in a single unified interface. One input bar, automatic intent detection, instant results for lookups and AI answers for real questions. Sub-400ms on search, sub-1s on classification, 90%+ accuracy on routing.

We created the first agentic RAG benchmark with real workplace questions and data. - 99 questions that were actually asked by us or our users. For example, “What common pains usually come up in discovery calls with prospects?” - 220k messy real documents from email, Slack, Github, Linear, Fireflies, Hubspot, and Google Drive. - 4 independent LLM judges. - ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, and Onyx as competitors. Onyx outperformed ChatGPT, Claude, and Notion AI by ~2:1. ChatGPT came in a distant second, followed closely by Claude, with Notion AI in the rear. We’ve published the raw results across different agents (and what we do differently to outperform) in our full blog here: onyx.app/blog/benchmarking-a….

Introducing Craft — Cowork, but over *all* your workplace docs instead of just your desktop. Craft lets anyone perform complex ad-hoc analysis and build repeatable, always updating dashboards based on that analysis. And it’s all open source.

we built the most beautiful open-source AI chat 😎

We just added MCP support to Onyx. It’s awesome

1/7 🧵Figured out how ChatGPT does web search. Here's what OpenAI, Claude, and Perplexity are actually doing under the hood (and how we fixed our 60-second search times)

Strongly agree! Open source does always win in the tech industry. If you want to try the open source, LLM-native, enterprise search platform check out our repo here: github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx
