COMPARISON
Digitorn vs Onyx - find answers, or get the work done?
Onyx (formerly Danswer) is open-source AI search and chat over your company's documents and apps - great for finding answers across your knowledge. Digitorn covers the knowledge side too (a knowledge base and connectors), but its center of gravity is doing the work: a task manager where you plan a project, assign it to agents, and review what they produce.
Feature comparison
Pick Digitorn when…
- You want agents to do the work - plan, act, deliver, be reviewed - not just search and answer.
- You want to build, install and embed agents and run a full app suite.
- You want agents that collaborate and use connected tools.
Pick Onyx when…
- Your core need is open-source, self-hosted enterprise search over your documents.
- You want everything to stay on your own infrastructure with a search-first product.
Onyx is a strong open-source choice for search and answers over company knowledge. Digitorn uses knowledge as fuel for action: you pilot a workforce of agents and run projects through the task manager. Pick Onyx to find; pick Digitorn to do.
