We build AI that works for enterprise.

Consulting, design, and build services for AI-powered capabilities, platforms, and agents. Specializing in regulated industries where accuracy isn't optional.

What We Do

From strategy to production. We help organizations design, build, and deploy AI systems that deliver measurable value.

AI Strategy & Consulting

Architecture design, build vs. buy analysis, vendor evaluation, and roadmap development. We help you make the right decisions before you write code.

Platform Development

Full-stack AI platform development. Fine-tuned models, RAG systems, verification pipelines, and production infrastructure. Built for scale, accuracy, and auditability.

AI Agents & Automation

Custom AI agents for specific workflows. Document processing, analysis automation, decision support systems. Agents that do real work, not demos.

Projects

Production platforms we've built and are actively launching. Real products solving real problems.

Onyx Legion

About

Onyx AI Labs is the innovation arm of an eighteen-year journey in enterprise technology. Founded by C. Michael Gibbs, we bring deep expertise in regulated industries—financial services, risk management, compliance—to the challenge of building AI systems that work in the real world.

We've learned that the gap between AI demos and AI in production is where most projects fail. That's our focus: building systems that are accurate, verifiable, auditable, and actually useful for the professionals who depend on them.

Based in Toronto, with a track record spanning dozens of industries and across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and A/NZ. We've worked with major financial institutions including MasterCard, MetLife, Scotiabank, ANZ, SMBC and MUFG. We know what enterprise expects—and we know how to deliver it.

Eighteen years building enterprise technology for regulated industries. Founded SureStep IT Inc. in 2009, expanding from Canada to international operations serving major financial institutions. Now focused on bringing AI capabilities to governance, risk, and compliance—where accuracy is mandatory and hallucination is unacceptable.
