Private RAG vs putting PDFs in ChatGPT

Uploading a folder to a consumer chatbot is a demo. It is not a product if the writings cannot leave the building, if you need citations you can open, or if you must ship the same assistant to someone else without a shared tenant.

Closed corpus, cited answers

AskJ is a research assistant over a curated writings library — scholar tone, citations, packaged for redistribution. AnyRAG generalizes that trust model to any folder you bring: hybrid retrieval, Scholar and Quotes modes, nothing to a SaaS LLM in v1.

When ChatGPT is still fine

Public knowledge, throwaway drafts, and data you would paste into email anyway. The AI Capability Pack is for the other pile: client files, internal docs, single-author corpora, air-gapped practice. Generate-first tools (TypingTrainer) still need a fallback when the local model stalls — that is product, not a prompt.

Offering: AI Capability Pack. Work: AnyRAG, AskJ.
