What it does
Yuxi is a platform that an organisation runs on its own servers. It combines a knowledge base, where you upload documents to be searched, with AI agents that can answer questions and carry out multi-step tasks.
It can build a knowledge graph, a map of people, things and how they relate, from your documents. Agents can use tools, MCP connections, skills and a safe sandbox, and can produce files to preview or download.
Admins manage users, departments, models and permissions in one place. It works with providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek and Qwen, or self-hosted models.
Who it's for
Companies and teams who want private, self-hosted AI agents over their own knowledge.
