Put AI to work.
Not on a shelf.
We help growing businesses automate workflows, build knowledge systems, and deploy AI agents that actually run in production — with the technical depth and discipline usually reserved for enterprise.
Have built and launched
Production platforms we've built and are actively running. Real products solving real problems.
What we build
Clear problems, contained solutions, near-term results. No transformation theater.
AI Workflow Setup
Automate repetitive internal work across operations, support, admin, and reporting. We connect AI to your actual workflows — extraction, classification, routing, approvals.
AI Knowledge Assistant
Turn scattered documents, SOPs, policies, and internal know-how into a searchable assistant your team can trust.
Agentic AI Deployment
Deploy AI agents that do real work — safely in your business with proper permissions, data boundaries, and human approval built in.
AI Coding & Build Partner
Your team has the domain knowledge — we bring the AI engineering. We work embedded with your developers to build internal tools and ship features.
AI Governance & Safety
Guardrails, approvals, data separation, and responsible rollout. Enterprise-grade controls without the enterprise overhead.
Strategy & Advisory
Not sure where to start? We identify the right AI opportunities, avoid common traps, and build a practical plan that fits your business.
Enterprise rigor.
Delivered at pace.
We deploy, not just advise
You get running systems, not slide decks.
Multi-model, not locked in
We use the right AI for each job — Claude, GPT, Gemini, open-source, or custom.
Controls from day one
Approvals, audit trails, data separation — built in, not bolted on.
How we work
Discover
We learn your operations, identify the highest-impact AI opportunities, and define a clear scope.
Design
Architecture, model selection, integration points, and controls — mapped before we write a line of code.
Deploy
We build and ship working systems into your environment. Not a demo — production.
Improve
Monitor, measure, and iterate. AI systems get better with use — we make sure yours does.
18 years of automation.
7 years of AI governance.
We didn't just get here.
Onyx AI Labs was founded by C. Michael Gibbs to bridge the gap between what AI can do and what businesses actually need it to do. With eighteen years of enterprise automation and seven years focused on AI governance, we bring hard-won experience in regulated industries — financial services, risk management, compliance — to building AI systems that work in the real world.
