Client Overview
Oryx is an AI-powered platform designed to help data analysts generate and iterate on large datasets using natural language prompts.
Note: Client details have been adjusted to maintain confidentiality. Oryx operates in regulated financial services.
Cohesion allowed us to operate at a higher overall level—resulting in a better product than we could have built alone.
The Challenge
Oryx started as a local Python library used in big data analysis in financial services. The Python library needed to become a cloud-deployed, multi-tenant web application with an intuitive interface that preserved the power of the underlying technology. With limited internal bandwidth and limited roadmap prioritization, the founder was pulled between strategic product decisions and day-to-day execution.
The Solution
Cohesion Labs embedded a team within Oryx to transform a prototype into a polished, MVP-quality web application. The engagement focused on speed-to-MVP, excellent user experience, and streamlined UI that emulated the local library's functionality. Cohesion leveraged the most cutting edge, AI-native tech stack for rapid development.

Throughout the engagement, Cohesion Labs pushed for deep thinking about the target user, core value proposition, and features that would genuinely delight users.
The best part of working with Cohesion Labs was their core philosophy around building great products, not just shipping features. They helped scope and prioritize the work thoughtfully, ensuring that every decision maximized return on effort and increased the likelihood of product success
This strategic discipline kept Oryx focused on its core value: enabling faster, more effective AI-assisted analysis through collective intelligence.
From OryxDB to Oryx Studio
The success of the initial engagement led to a second product. While building OryxDB, the team uncovered a broader set of challenges around AI-native workflows—specifically, how real work gets created, refined, and lost inside AI conversations. That insight sparked Oryx Studio, an AI-native document management system.
