Suitable tasks
Query procedure documents or prototype document search with public or anonymised files.
Limits and checks
A local installation can still call remote models or embedding services. Inspect every component and workspace access.
A repeatable trial
Import three documents including an obsolete version. Ask a question requiring the current version, then one outside the corpus. Check the cited source and recognition of missing answers.
How to decide
Keep a configuration if it cites the right document and respects permissions. Record storage, model, embeddings and network connections.
Frequently asked questions
Does local installation mean offline operation?
Only if required models, embeddings and dependencies are also local. Confirm with a disconnected trial.
