Naxis Assistant
Documentation
Grounded answers from your organisation’s own documents — every answer cites the exact passage it came from, and anything that isn’t in your material is refused rather than guessed. Here’s how to install it, run it, and build on it.

Install on your server →
One command on a Linux server. You keep the data; updates run themselves.

How it works →
How the assistant turns your documents into cited answers, and why they can be trusted.

What it does
- Grounded answers. The assistant reads your connected documents and answers only from them. Every claim carries a citation you can open to see the original passage.
- Refuses rather than guesses. If the answer isn’t in your material, it says so — it never invents one.
- Respects access. People only ever see answers drawn from documents they’re allowed to read. Permissions mirror your sources.
- Meets people where they work. A web chat, plus messaging channels (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Viber) and an embeddable widget.
- Runs itself. It indexes new material on a schedule, keeps itself healthy, and installs its own updates in a window you control.
The two ways to run it
| On your server (self-hosted) | Hosted by Naxis (managed) | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | A Linux server you control | The Naxis platform |
| Your data | Never leaves your server | Held by Naxis under agreement |
| To set up | Run one command | Open a link |
| Maintenance | Automatic updates & backups | Handled for you |
You’ll have been told which one applies to you, and been sent a link to match. Follow Install — on your server or Install — hosted by Naxis.
A quick word on the AI
Answering is ours: a proprietary engine under a data-processing agreement with
zero-retention terms, and a self-hosted deployment can run the whole of it on your own
hardware so nothing leaves your building. Either way there is nothing to choose or
configure — the assistant is ready to answer as soon as your content is connected.
Building on top
The HTTP API lets you push documents into the knowledge base and ask questions from your own code, authenticated by a key you create in the console. Stuck? See Troubleshooting and the FAQ.
