When NOT to use paperless-gpt
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Looking for a tool that operates independently of paperless-ngx infrastructure
- Prefer solutions not requiring configuration for different LLM providers
- Require real-time high-volume processing where additional latency from AI integration is undesirable
