When NOT to use elia
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Do not use Elia if you require a graphical user interface (GUI) and find that the terminal-based interaction restricts functionality or accessibility according to your needs.
- Not recommended if API support for your preferred language model is missing, as this limits its interoperability for specific workflows.
