Pros
  • MIT-licensed and runs fully on-device — no data leaves your machine
  • Incremental updates: only changed nodes/edges re-process, scales to millions of files
  • Ingests broad input set: code/AST, docs, papers, meetings, browser history, images
  • Explicit graph beats opaque vector retrieval for traceable, multi-hop questions
  • Focused on retrieval (not general agent stuff)
  • Many ingestion connectors
  • Strong production patterns
  • LlamaCloud for managed ingestion
Cons
  • Waitlist / early-access — not generally available yet
  • Cloud tier and any paid plan are unpriced and undefined
  • Marketing-heavy site with limited technical depth on indexing/query API
  • On-device builds at corpus scale will demand serious local compute
  • API surface is large
  • Documentation can be hard to navigate
