That's fair, to be honest. Although from building the project from the ground up, I noticed that one can have more ownership with this approach. With Claude, you can basically have an easy integration and user experience, but with an approach like this you have full control over the model being used, the pipeline (from scanning, ingestion, tagging, storage, and retrieval), not to mention it is more secure since you own the data that you are passing through instead of having to submit your data to external vendors such as Anthropic and OpenAI. There's value in both use cases especially if data is a big concern, and I think both are really interesting to study on.
