Pros	Chat with and search across your own notes, documents, and PDFs in natural language Runs with local models for privacy or cloud models for more capability Integrates into Obsidian and Emacs, plus web, desktop, and mobile clients Surfaces the source documents behind its answers, not just a bare reply Open source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable, with a managed cloud option too	Commercially friendly Apache-2.0 license for the application code Unified Canvas with inpainting, outpainting, and brush tools for iterative editing Node-based Workflows for building and sharing repeatable generation pipelines Broad model support including Stable Diffusion, SDXL, SD 3.5, and Flux variants Runs entirely locally with a built-in model manager, gallery, and rich image metadata
Cons	Self-hosting involves a Docker stack and some configuration to get running well Local-model quality and speed depend on your hardware; cloud models cost money Indexing large or messy document collections can take tuning to get good results AGPL-3.0 copyleft terms matter if you modify and offer it as a hosted service	Needs a reasonably powerful GPU with enough VRAM for good speed and larger models Model weights carry their own licenses separate from the app, so check usage terms The node/workflow system has a real learning curve for newcomers Local install, updates, and model management take more setup than a hosted service
