When NOT to use unstract
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Your workflow strictly adheres to closed-source software management policies and requires proprietary control.
- Projects needing direct integration with commercial data processing services incompatible with AGPL-3.0 licensing.
- Cases where real-time performance is critical, as the LLM-driven extraction may introduce latency.
