Limitations & Considerations
⚠️ NO Built-In RAG – Entire retrieval infrastructure must be built by developers
⚠️ Developer-Only – Requires coding expertise; no no-code interface for non-technical teams
⚠️ Rate Limits – Usage tiers start restrictive (Tier 1: 500 RPM GPT-4)
⚠️ Model Lock-In – Cannot use Claude, Gemini; tied to OpenAI ecosystem
⚠️ NO Chat UI – ChatGPT web interface not embeddable or customizable for business
⚠️ Cost at Scale – Token pricing can spike without optimization; needs cost management
⚠️ NOT A RAG PLATFORM: Requires separate RAG/LLM infrastructure for complete solution
⚠️ NO Chat UI: Technical dashboard only, not end-user chatbot interface
⚠️ Developer Integration Required: APIs/SDKs need coding expertise for pipeline integration
Higher Cost: Enterprise pricing but prevents GDPR €20M, HIPAA $1.5M fines
Performance Overhead: Real-time masking adds sub-second latency in high-throughput systems
Best For: Regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government) requiring compliance, not general-purpose
Managed service – Less control over RAG pipeline vs build-your-own
Model selection – OpenAI + Anthropic only; no Cohere, AI21, open-source
Real-time data – Requires re-indexing; not ideal for live inventory/prices
Enterprise features – Custom SSO only on Enterprise plan

⚠️ No Managed Infrastructure – Unlike CustomGPT/Vectara, leaves chunking, indexing, retrieval to developers
Framework vs Service – Compare to LLM APIs (Claude, Gemini), not managed RAG platforms
External Costs – RAG needs vector DBs (Pinecone $70+/month), hosting, embeddings API
⚠️ NOT RAG-AS-A-SERVICE: Data security middleware, not retrieval-augmented generation platform
Security Middleware: Sits between data sources and RAG platforms as protection layer
RAG Protection: Sanitizes documents before indexing, queries before retrieval, responses before delivery
✅ Context-Preserving RAG: 99% RARI vs 70% vanilla masking for accurate retrieval
