When NOT to use vault-ai
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When your requirements do not include uploading custom content for the AI to learn from, as vault-ai focuses on integrating a knowledge base with ChatGPT.
- If you prefer using other vector search databases such as Qdrant instead of Pinecone, as vault-ai is specifically designed around Pinecone.
