AI systems for real business work

Put AI to work.
Not on a shelf.

We help growing businesses automate workflows, build knowledge systems, and deploy AI agents that actually run in production — with the technical depth and discipline usually reserved for enterprise.

What we build

Clear problems, contained solutions, near-term results. No transformation theater.

01

AI Workflow Setup

Automate repetitive internal work across operations, support, admin, and reporting. We connect AI to your actual workflows — extraction, classification, routing, approvals.

02

AI Knowledge Assistant

Turn scattered documents, SOPs, policies, and internal know-how into a searchable assistant your team can trust.

03

Agentic AI Deployment

Deploy AI agents that do real work — tools like OpenClaw have made personal AI agents accessible, but deploying them safely in a business requires proper permissions, data boundaries, and human approval. We set up, secure, and govern your agent deployments.

04

AI Coding & Build Partner

Your team has the domain knowledge — we bring the AI engineering. We work embedded with your developers to build internal tools, connect systems, and ship features. Real collaboration, not a handoff.

05

AI Governance & Safety

For businesses that need guardrails, approvals, data separation, and responsible rollout. Enterprise-grade controls without the enterprise overhead.

06

Strategy & Advisory

Not sure where to start? We help you identify the right AI opportunities, avoid common traps, and build a practical plan that fits your business.

Why Onyx

Enterprise rigor.
Delivered at pace.

Our approach is shaped by the standards required in enterprise and regulated environments — which means you get systems that are reliable, secure, and built to scale. With a team that moves fast because we've done this before.

//
We deploy, not just advise
You get running systems, not slide decks.
//
Multi-model, not locked in
We use the right AI for each job — Claude, GPT, Gemini, open-source, or custom.
//
Controls from day one
Approvals, audit trails, data separation — built in, not bolted on.
Process

Discover

We learn your operations, identify the highest-impact AI opportunities, and define a clear scope.

Design

Architecture, model selection, integration points, and controls — mapped before we write a line of code.

Deploy

We build and ship working systems into your environment. Not a demo — production.

Improve

Monitor, measure, and iterate. AI systems get better with use — we make sure yours does.

Selected systems

Have built and launched

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

Onyx Legion Onyx Legion LIVE

Legion Consumer

Multi-AI deliberation platform. Queries Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek simultaneously. Four-round structured deliberation produces synthesized answers that eliminate single-model bias.

We publish what we learn

Practical findings from building real AI systems. No hype, no fluff.

Enterprise

The AI Graveyard Problem

Most enterprise AI investments never reach users. Here's why — and what to do about it.
Verification

Catching AI Hallucinations

NLI-based verification catches fabricated citations before they reach users. 73% to 97% accuracy.
Economics

Why Smaller Models Win

Fine-tuned 8B models outperform 70B+ generalists on enterprise tasks — at 90% lower cost.

About

18 years of automation.
7 years of AI governance.
We didn't just get here.

Onyx AI Labs was founded by C. Michael Gibbs to bridge the gap between what AI can do and what businesses actually need it to do. With eighteen years of enterprise automation and seven years focused on AI governance, we bring hard-won experience in regulated industries — financial services, risk management, compliance — to building AI systems that work in the real world. Based in Toronto, with offices in New York, Singapore, and Amsterdam. Delivered across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
