Listen "Pitching Onyx: Architecting Networked Intelligence for Enterprise AI"

Episode Synopsis

We discuss the vision for Onyx, a proposed platform designed to resolve the current inefficiencies in enterprise AI. It argues that the prevailing "agent-as-island" approach, where AI is embedded within individual applications, leads to data fragmentation, workflow friction, high integration costs, and stifled innovation. Onyx aims to introduce a "networked intelligence" paradigm, moving beyond traditional managerial capitalism to a system where value is created through facilitated access and seamless connectivity. The platform consists of a universal intelligence layer, an orchestration engine, and a developer framework to enable composable, cross-application AI workflows. Onyx plans a developer-led, bottom-up go-to-market strategy to disrupt the enterprise AI market, aiming to become a foundational "composable intelligence layer" rather than competing with existing siloed solutions.
