The Enterprise Knowledge Intelligence Platform
Turn your organization's knowledge into answers you can trust
AskOpenly puts a team of specialized agents — planning, retrieval, and a critic — between the question and the answer: they reason across every modality and cite every claim to the source. A deployable, multi-tenant, multi-replica enterprise product that runs on open models you own, where your data lives.
Access is by invitation — serious inquiries only.
Built for teams that can't afford a wrong answer
A team of agents reasoning over your private knowledge
A complete, governed knowledge intelligence stack — not a thin wrapper over a chatbot.
Multi-agent orchestration
Router, Planner, Retrieval, Critic, Synthesis and Governance agents cooperate in a transparent state machine you can watch live.
Advanced hybrid RAG
Dense + keyword retrieval fused with RRF, reranked, compressed, and grounded in citations — with optional graph traversal, never a bare guess.
Multi-modal ingestion
PDFs, Office docs, spreadsheets, images, audio, video, web pages and code repositories — one pipeline.
Permission-mirroring connectors
Source permissions are carried into retrieval so answers respect who can see what — the ACL push-down is built in; managed connectors for Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Slack and Jira are rolling out.
Ask from Slack & Teams
Meet people where they work. Grounded, cited answers from your knowledge base — right inside Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Agentic automations
Turn answers into action. Trigger digests, notifications and multi-step workflows on a schedule or when new documents land.
Knowledge graph
Optional entity-and-relationship traversal for multi-hop questions that connect facts across your corpus — switch on graph mode when you need it.
Enterprise governance
RBAC, document-level ACLs, PII redaction and full audit trails — security enforced at the data layer.
Own your models
Runs on open models you control — self-hosted or in your VPC. Your data never trains someone else's model.
Deploy in your cloud. Isolate every tenant. Scale without limits.
AskOpenly isn't a hosted toy — it's a deployable, multi-tenant, multi-replica enterprise product, built to run where your data lives and grow with every team you add.
Runs in your environment
Self-host or deploy into your own VPC or Kubernetes cluster with Helm. Open models you control — no document ever leaves your walls.
Isolated by tenant
Per-tenant vector namespaces plus database row-level security. One customer's data can never surface in another's — enforced by the database, not just application code.
Scales horizontally
Run many replicas behind your load balancer with cross-replica cache coherence and zero-downtime deploys. Add teams and traffic, not downtime.
Permission mirroring is built into retrieval — source ACLs are carried through, so knowledge stays governed.
From scattered documents to trusted decisions
Three steps to a private knowledge intelligence system.
Connect your knowledge
Point AskOpenly at your documents, drives, wikis and repos. It ingests every modality and builds a private, governed index.
Agents reason & retrieve
A team of agents plans the question, retrieves across dense and keyword signals, reranks, and self-critiques for faithfulness.
Answers you can trust
Every answer arrives with inline citations, provenance, and a live trace — so people understand more and decide better.
Your knowledge stays yours
AskOpenly runs on open models in your own environment. Tenants are isolated by the database, access control is enforced at the data layer, PII is redacted in-stream, and every action is audited — so a user can never retrieve what they're not permitted to see.
"We needed AI over our most sensitive documents without shipping them to a third-party model. AskOpenly was the only platform that let us keep everything in our own VPC — with citations we can actually audit."
Reflects implemented controls and deployment architecture. SOC 2 Type II attestation is in progress.
Enterprise capability — with openness the incumbents can't match
At parity-to-ahead on the AI, and the only platform you fully own: self-host, open models, no per-seat lock-in.
