Limitations & Considerations
⚠️ 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 integrationHigher Cost: Enterprise pricing but prevents GDPR €20M, HIPAA $1.5M finesPerformance Overhead: Real-time masking adds sub-second latency in high-throughput systemsBest For: Regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government) requiring compliance, not general-purpose
⚠️ OpenAI/Claude Only – Cannot deploy Llama, Mistral, custom open-source models⚠️ Cloud-Only – No self-hosting, on-premise, air-gapped for regulated industries⚠️ Message Credit Caps – High-volume requires plan upgrades or Enterprise pricing⚠️ Crawler Limits – URL/sitemap scope limited by plan tier, large sites need higher⚠️ Emerging Platform – Newer vs established competitors, smaller integration ecosystem
Managed service – Less control over RAG pipeline vs build-your-ownModel selection – OpenAI + Anthropic only; no Cohere, AI21, open-sourceReal-time data – Requires re-indexing; not ideal for live inventory/pricesEnterprise features – Custom SSO only on Enterprise plan
