Onyx AI | Open Source Enterprise Search & AI Assistant

AI Built for Higher Education

Onyx integrates with your LMS, ticketing system, knowledge bases, and custom applications — giving you AI that works how you work.

24/7 AI support for every student

Faculty love teaching. They don't love answering "when is the midterm?" for the forty-seventh time. Onyx handles the routine questions so your team can focus on what actually requires a human.

Every answer a researcher needs, in one place

Grant guidelines buried in PDFs. IRB procedures scattered across portals. Fund restrictions locked in a spreadsheet somewhere. Onyx surfaces the right institutional knowledge instantly so faculty spend less time searching and more time on the research itself.

AI you control. Data you own.

Your students' data. Your institution's policies. Your infrastructure. Onyx is built so you maintain full control over what the AI knows, who can access it, and where the data lives.

24/7 answers for every student

Give students an AI assistant that answers questions about assignments, policies, and campus resources anytime — no wait, no office hours required.

Connect every knowledge source on campus

Onyx connects to your LMS, SharePoint, Google Drive, and dozens more — so anyone can ask a question and get the right answer instantly.

AI that saves faculty hours every week

Draft grants, search policies, and pull together course materials — all from one AI assistant connected to every system your university uses.

How Onyx helps

Eliminate student service wait times

Admissions, financial aid, registration, housing — deliver instant, accurate answers instead of phone queues and email backlogs.

FERPA-ready from day one

Deploy on-prem or in your cloud. Student records never leave your environment. Granular role-based access ensures compliance with institutional governance requirements.

Grounded in your data, not the internet

Generic AI hallucinates. Campus AI can't. Onyx grounds every answer in your institution's actual knowledge base — so students get the right answer, not a confident-sounding guess.

Plugs into your existing stack

Canvas, Google Workspace, Confluence, SharePoint, Slack, Zoom — connect everything in minutes. No migration. No rebuilding.

Fully open-source and auditable

Your IT team inspects, customizes, and owns the platform. No black boxes. No vendor lock-in.

Connect the tools your team already uses

Onyx connects to 40+ data sources out of the box, with a flexible connector framework for custom integrations.
