Without the proxy

🔒 You can already get RAG today. But only if it's baked into the one chat app you happen to be using. Switch tools and it's gone.

FLOW:

• 1. You 💬 - Ask a question in the chat app. →
• 2. Chat App 📦 - Has its own RAG built in. →
• 3. AI 🤖 - Answers using the RAG inside that app.

🔒 Locked to one app. Your terminal, scripts, and any other AI client get nothing. RAG only lives inside that one chat tool.

🎲 Quality you can't control. Every app exposes a different slice of knobs, or none at all. You don't know what's tunable until you're already locked in.

☁️ Often cloud-based. Your documents, your questions, and the embeddings of both go to the vendor's servers.

🔁 Reinvented per app. Every tool builds its own RAG. No standard, no portability, no shared brain.
