I’ve found coding agents to be great at 1/ finding everything they need across large codebases using only bash commands (grep, glob, ls, etc.) and 2/ building new things based on t…

Have you checked out https://docs.onyx.app/deployment/getting_started/quickstart#... ? We should definitely update the Local guide to reflect the ^, thanks for pointing that out. F…

Yep, we have our own implementations! We've spent a lot of time on them, and in our internal benchmarks they compare pretty favorable to the native versions. RAG specifically is ou…

A few reasons: 1/ No model lock-in / ability to use the ideal model for each use case. 2/ More connectivity. A fuller connector library (contributed to by the open-source community…

Reposting from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46047430 : --- Broadly, I think other open source solutions are lacking in (1) integration of external knowledge into the chat (…

You could! We have a number of users who do something like that (e.g. Ramp's in-app chat bot is powered by Onyx)

Great suggestion! I haven't heard of it before, but I'll definitely add it to the list. Would love to hear your feedback after you get a chance to try Onyx out.

Thanks! Especially these days, refinement is (by far) the hardest part :)

> One thing I really care about is extensibility Totally makes sense! We've defined simple `Connector`, `Tool` and (soon) `Agent` interfaces to make it easy to plug in your own imp…

We have! Likely not for a while, since we want to focus on the web app for a bit more. But long term that would be the plan. Things like shortcuts to access the chat + ability to r…

Yes indeed! Our belief is that tool design, compaction (e.g. tool result summarization), and reminders are the things that separate a product that works magically vs one that falls…

> ease of installation, streaming support, model agnosticity, chat persistence and blob support we have all of those! > how onyx is comparable For an AI-powered research assistant,…

What format are the docs being uploaded as? By default, images uploaded into the chat would be directly passed through. PDFs would be parsed and fed to the LLM as text. Writing is …

That's one way people use Onyx! Specifically, the Projects feature (see the left sidebar) works similarly e.g. you can upload arbitrary numbers of files - going well beyond the con…

Totally get this concern. How we think about it: the chat product should be completely open-source and free (forever). To that end we've moved features like SSO (that used to be "e…

Thanks! And 404 should be fixed

Haha, yea the UIs certainly have similarities (much of the industry converges to standard places to put different components, since users are familiar). "Agents" is a particular ar…

Hmm, will have to disagree here. I think "one chat to rule them all" is the way it will end. It does requires having UI components for many different types of interactions (e.g. ma…

Great question! Depends on the specific alternative, but the broad points are: - "pure chat" experience. From our community (and personal use), we've observed that most queries don…

Hmm, yea that's a great callout. Something we definitely have in our sights longer term (focus for now is to make sure that the desktop chat experience is truly amazing).

Yes, exactly! Would love to hear your feedback compared to OpenWebUI

Yes absolutely! There's no license restriction on white-labeling, so we've seen lots of companies do that. In our opinion, it's a bit silly to build completely in house when you ca…

Outside of pure security, we've seen many choose Onyx for flexibility + connectedness. One of our largest users has forked the repo and has 20+ commits back to the repo of small cu…
