The system aims to handle various file types, ingest documents automatically, and perform structured and comparative queries. Key challenges include selecting an appropriate vector database (like Qdrant or pgvector), determining the feasibility of running GraphRAG systems such as Neo4j or Microsoft GraphRAG locally, and implementing a user interface that highlights specific text segments and provides citations, similar to plagiarism detection tools.
