Official product pageAvery Rulebook for Onyx
Give Onyx a governed compliance layer for enterprise policy.
Onyx connects AI chat to company documents, apps and people. Rulebook adds confirmed rules, deterministic decisions and action receipts when answers carry operational consequence.
The operating reality
Connected chat makes knowledge easier to reach. Policy execution needs an additional step: resolve precedence, conditions, effective dates, uncertainty and human approval before an answer becomes an action.

The runtime compliance gate
Check the answer or action before it creates impact.
Rulebook evaluates live context against the confirmed policy and regulatory rules that apply, then returns a decision the agent must follow.
01Context
Actor, purpose, data, jurisdiction and proposed action
02Gate
Allow, deny, obligations or named human review
03Audit
Evidence, rulebook version and signed decision trace
Architecture boundary
Avery Rulebook
Turn selected knowledge into a published, testable decision artifact with explicit authority.
Keep Onyx for knowledge access and conversation. Add Rulebook where enterprise rules must be applied consistently and proved later.
Why the gap persists
Policies exist. Runtime compliance gates do not.
01
Retrieved text can conflict across sources.
02
Prompt instructions are hard to audit as policy artifacts.
03
Chat citations do not enforce tool authorization.
Rulebook in the workflow
Find
Onyx retrieves the relevant source material and context.
Resolve
Rulebook selects the applicable confirmed rule and returns a structured decision.
Enforce
The agent proceeds, escalates or stops based on the decision.
Potential outcomes
Make compliance a gate in the work, not a report about the work.
- A clearer line from source to rule to outcome
- Consistent policy across chats and tools
- Human confirmation preserved in an open integration stack
Questions leaders ask
Can the two be self-hosted together?
Rulebook supports enterprise deployment patterns and standard interfaces. The final topology should match your security and operations requirements.
Does Rulebook need to index all Onyx sources?
No. You can compile only the authoritative materials that should become executable policy.
