We build AI that works for enterprise.

Consulting, design, and build services for AI-powered capabilities, platforms, and agents. Specializing in regulated industries where accuracy isn't optional.

What We Do

From strategy to production. We help organizations design, build, and deploy AI systems that deliver measurable value.

AI Strategy & Consulting

Architecture design, build vs. buy analysis, vendor evaluation, and roadmap development. We help you make the right decisions before you write code.

Platform Development

Full-stack AI platform development. Fine-tuned models, RAG systems, verification pipelines, and production infrastructure. Built for scale, accuracy, and auditability.

AI Agents & Automation

Custom AI agents for specific workflows. Document processing, analysis automation, decision support systems. Agents that do real work, not demos.

Projects

Production platforms we've built and are actively launching. Real products solving real problems.

Onyx Legion
Live

Many Minds. One Answer.

Multi-AI deliberation platform that queries Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek simultaneously. Four-round structured deliberation produces synthesized answers that eliminate single-model bias and surface consensus across competing AI architectures.

Research

We publish our findings. Practical approaches to building enterprise AI systems that actually work.

Enterprise

The AI Graveyard Problem

Most enterprise AI investments never reach users. Here's why—and what to do about it.
Methodology

When One AI Isn't Enough

Using multiple AI models to cross-validate reviews. Consensus-based scoring catches blind spots.
Verification

Catching AI Hallucinations

NLI-based verification catches fabricated citations before they reach users. 73% → 97% accuracy.
Economics

Why Smaller Models Win

Fine-tuned 8B models outperform 70B+ generalists on enterprise tasks—at 90% lower cost.
Architecture

The Case for AI Specialists

Why coordinated fleets of domain-specific models outperform monolithic giants.
Standards

Making Compliance Machine-Readable

OSCAL implementation guide. 60-90% reduction in compliance effort.
Enterprise

Your Models, Anywhere

Enterprise AI needs to connect to models wherever they live—cloud, on-prem, or air-gapped.

About

Onyx AI Labs is the innovation arm of an eighteen-year journey in enterprise technology. Founded by C. Michael Gibbs, we bring deep expertise in regulated industries—financial services, risk management, compliance—to the challenge of building AI systems that work in the real world.

We've learned that the gap between AI demos and AI in production is where most projects fail. That's our focus: building systems that are accurate, verifiable, auditable, and actually useful for the professionals who depend on them.

Based in Toronto, with a track record spanning dozens of industries and across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and A/NZ. We've worked with major financial institutions including MasterCard, MetLife, Scotiabank, ANZ, SMBC and MUFG. We know what enterprise expects—and we know how to deliver it.
