When NOT to use quivr
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you are looking for a framework that enforces a strict, non-customizable approach to integrating generative AI.
- When your project requires a framework that supports only a specific set of LLMs or vectorstores, and you do not need the flexibility to switch between them.
- If your application does not require the level of customization and flexibility that Quivr offers, and a more rigid framework would suffice.
