The alternatives in detail
In order of how closely each one matches Dashworks.
Onyx
4.2$20/mo
vs Dashworks$8 more+0.3Free plan
Open-source AI chat and enterprise search that connects to a team's documents, apps, and people.
- Hybrid search plus RAG chat over 40+ connected workplace applications
- Self-hosted, MIT-licensed open-source core with full data control
- MCP support for connecting external tools and agent workflows
Free, license-unrestricted self-hosted option for teams that want to avoid sending data to a vendor
Self-hosting the open-source edition still requires infrastructure and maintenance effort
Ayfie
4.0Not listed
vs Dashworks+0.1
An enterprise AI search platform indexes a company's files, email, and systems to answer questions grounded in its own data.
- Unified index across document storage, email, collaboration tools, and databases
- Answers grounded in a company's own indexed data to reduce hallucinated responses
- GDPR-compliant, private-environment data handling with no external exposure
Answers grounded strictly in company data cut down on the hallucination risk of open-model search
No published pricing, every deployment requires a direct sales conversation
Tettra

An AI Slack bot ("Kai") answers repetitive team questions from your own knowledge base, and flags content gaps as they come up.
- AI knowledge base built from Docs, PDFs or native pages
- Kai: AI Slack bot for instant team Q&A

Answers directly in Slack, where teams already ask each other questions
