Danswer — Open-Source Enterprise AI Search

Danswer is an open-source enterprise search engine for teams needing instant answers from internal company documentation.

Danswer is an open-source enterprise search engine that allows employees to retrieve information from internal documents using natural language queries. This tool is designed for medium to large organizations that need a private, secure way to unify data silos and streamline knowledge sharing across different departments. The platform connects directly to your existing workspace tools to index documentation, chat logs, and project files. Danswer utilizes large language models to provide direct answers to questions based on your internal data, citing the specific sources to ensure reliability. By centralizing information, teams spend less time searching for details and more time executing on projects. As highlighted on surfai.app, the platform emphasizes data privacy by allowing for self-hosting on your own infrastructure. This ensures that sensitive company information never leaves your controlled environment while still providing a modern search experience similar to consumer AI tools. Administrators can easily manage document permissions to maintain strict access controls. Danswer offers a free open-source version for self-hosting, while enterprise features and managed cloud hosting are available through paid subscription tiers. This makes it an accessible starting point for companies transitioning to AI-powered internal operations in 2026.
