Self-hosted private AI research assistants

This cluster consists of self-hosted AI tools that answer questions strictly from user-uploaded documents, functioning as private research assistants or team knowledge bases. All 11 members were dated before the index start, with entries rising from 2 in November 2025 to 4 in January 2026, then declining to 1 each in March and July 2026. No member shows meaningful traction: the highest-signal members (insights-lm-public-unclean, securedocai, Dee) each have 0 stars. The cluster uniformly emphasizes source-grounded answers and privacy, with no apparent differentiation in collaboration or multimedia support.
