Pre-purchase Disclosure

What you are buying

An engine that turns documents into a knowledge base and answers questions over it: brought up with Docker Compose on your own machine, opened in a browser, with account registration and sign-in required.

Derived from an open-source project under the Apache licence, and not the original project itself.

Delivery is a frozen snapshot: one zip, taken from the product repository at revision d90a0e4.

Known limitations

The service is bound to ports 8080, 9380 and 9381 on the local machine (127.0.0.1) only
You need your own embedding and chat model-service keys; without them parsing documents and question answering do not work, although the home page and accounts still do
Data is kept in Docker volumes, and down -v deletes it
The first start downloads several images and takes a while
The other images referenced by the compose file and the dependencies were not scanned for licences one by one
Pinned to the delivered snapshot; it does not follow upstream.

The liability cap, the scope of what is promised and the statutory floor are governed by the Terms of Service.

Vetting record

Everything below was checked against the pinned commit d5cef83. Every verdict carries its full reasoning, an evidence link and the checker; failures are published, not hidden — do not take our word for it, verify it yourself.

1 PASS4 WARN0 FAIL

Source ReviewWARN

Read: compose.yaml, .env.example, QUICKSTART.md, scripts/quickstart/init-env.sh and PRODUCT.md. The rest of the application source was not read file by file.

Script SafetyWARN

The compose file and init-env.sh were read: init-env.sh only writes a local .env with random values, and the images are pinned by digest. The other scripts under docker/ and the upstream scripts were not read line by line.

RecencyWARN

This is a frozen snapshot that does not follow upstream. The date of the pinned upstream commit and recent upstream activity were not checked.

LicensePASS

SPDX:Apache-2.0

The LICENSE file in the repository is the Apache license text. The upstream copy was not compared against it.

Dependency LicensesWARN

Dependencies are declared in the repository and the images referenced by the compose file; they were not scanned for licenses.
