What the server does

  • Chat history — captures conversations but isn't structured knowledge
  • RAG — lets the LLM query your documents but not write back to them
  • Vector DBs — need complex infra and usually live in someone else's cloud
  • Knowledge graphs — need specialized tooling to maintain
  • All knowledge stays in plain files you control
  • Both sides read and write to the same files
