Onyx (the successor to Danswer) is a solid choice if you want open-source AI search and run everything on your own infrastructure. You inspect the code, control the environment, and depend on no vendor. For teams with platform engineers, that’s real freedom.
Redijo makes a different trade. Rather than you operating the system, it’s a managed service and focuses on what open source doesn’t give you for free — the proof beside the answer. Every number traces back to its source file, and permission holds at synthesis time.
Auditable by construction
In Redijo, calculation and comparison are deterministic, kept off the AI’s path. The model drafts the prose, but the figure comes from a path you can re-run and check. The proof is born with the answer — you review, you don’t trust.
Permission at synthesis time
Redijo enforces each fragment’s permission the instant the answer is composed. Anything outside your access never enters — not even aggregated inside a total. That’s our moat.
Where Onyx has the edge
In fairness: if your requirement is open source and self-hosting — to audit the code, keep data in-house, or avoid vendor lock-in — Onyx delivers, and Redijo is a managed service. Our pitch is to take the operations burden off you and deliver auditability at the level of the number, not just the document.
You can also bring your own AI through an MCP server, with permissions and an audit trail. Your files are hosted with international-transfer safeguards.
