CLUSTER ANSWERS-ASSISTANT-DOCUMENTS · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-12-15
Self-hosted document-grounded research assistants
This cluster consists of self-hosted research assistants that answer questions and summarize content grounded exclusively in documents and sources a user uploads. Dated entries before the index start show a sparse and uneven timeline: one entry in August 2025, two in December 2025, three in February 2026, and one in March 2026. Among tracked members, doubletake leads traction with one star, while parseway_LM and insights-lm-public have zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
