Answers only from the sources you upload — it barely fabricates

Good for

  • Turning a pile of PDFs / annual reports into a queryable knowledge base
  • Generating audio overviews
  • Requiring every answer to cite the source passage

Not for

  • Live web lookups for breaking information
  • API-driven automation (limited)

We deliberately put “not for” on the same screen — a review that only lists strengths carries no information.
