Onix is a Montreal-based consumer AI startup behind Personal Intelligence, a mobile app offering subscription chats with AI assistants built exclusively on licensed knowledge from hand-picked health and wellness experts (physicians, psychiatrists, nutritionists) rather than open-web data. Founded in 2025 by David Bennahum and former 1X CTO Nicholas Nadeau, it runs small language models locally and keeps chat data on the user's device, betting on privacy and expert provenance; experts keep 70% of subscription revenue. It holds a partnership with Montreal AI research institute Mila and was named among Canada's Top 100 AI Startups for 2026 by ALL IN.
