No self-hosted version yet. You would need to trust us in the same way you trust your other SaaS apps that host company IP (e.g. Slack, Notion, Github, etc.) I get that's a big ask from a startup. If it helps, we are a company that's been around for 4+ years and have built a work tool ( https://gather.town ) used for 100k+ people for their daily work, Sequoia-backed, are SOC II certified, and go way beyond that for t…
Are slack/github/notion dumping company data into an unknown set of LLM APIs under the hood? (My company uses Zulip/Gitea/Affine for data sovereignty reasons, but this kind of thing seems worse)

#63Congratulations on the launch. I was recently trying to tackle the same problem (@howie.systems). The hardest 2 problems we had to face were ACL and large files (and large volumes). How did you solve the ACL part? I worked with a customer that had 200k pdf/images/dwg files on SharePoint and other 1M on samba. It took like a week to sync it all and keep tabs on the access rights of each employee. How did you solve unp…

It was a good business during COVID but eventually started to shrink. 2022-2025: We built Gather for remote workers, which was a long grind into in Audio/Video…

#65What exactly have you been working on since 2019? I'm guessing you entered YC with a different idea/pitch then the one you put here, as ChatGPT didn't exist back then, what was the original idea and how did it morph into what you have today?

Onyx.app has a self hosted option. I just did the docker setup yesterday. It’s not a great home user option imo but seems like it’s functional for enterprise.
Going off on a tangent here but, does anyone have a good guide on how to set up an AI/LLM/GPT chatbot/agent for a small business? Not looking to spend millions but a couple thousand are alright. TIA

#67eambutu, how does this compare to Notion Enterprise Search?
