# Introduction

> Hadiq.io is the open-source AI chat and search platform that connects to your team's apps and delivers accurate, permission-aware answers.

Hadiq.io brings a full-featured AI interface to your organization. Connect it to the tools your team already uses — Slack, Google Drive, Confluence, GitHub, and 50+ more — and get instant answers grounded in your company's knowledge. Every response cites its sources and reflects only the documents each user can access.

Hadiq.io is open source (MIT licensed) and runs on your own infrastructure or in the cloud.

## Deployment options

You can run Hadiq.io in two ways:

| Option             | Best for                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hadiq.io Cloud** | Teams that want to get started immediately without managing infrastructure. Includes a 14-day free trial.                                             |
| **Self-hosted**    | Teams that need full control over their data and infrastructure. Deployable with a single command using Docker, or at scale with Kubernetes and Helm. |

<Note>
  Both options support the same core feature set. The self-hosted Community Edition is freely available under the MIT license. An Enterprise Edition adds SSO, white-labeling, advanced RBAC, and dedicated support.
