Privacy-First, Fully Offline AI Document Assistant

Secured by a Tiered Safety Guardrails System
v1.1.2 — High-Performance, Secure, and Minimalist


Python Ollama FAISS License


Upload any document. Ask anything. Get answers — entirely on your local machine.
No cloud dependencies. No API keys. No data ever leaves your device.


💡 Use Cases

GuardRAG is designed for professionals and organizations that handle sensitive data and require the power of LLMs without compromising privacy.

  • 🔒 Secure Document Analysis: Chat with confidential contracts, internal financial reports, or legal documents without uploading them to a cloud provider.
  • 🏥 Healthcare & Privacy: Analyze medical records or research data locally, ensuring compliance with privacy standards like HIPAA or GDPR through integrated PII detection.
  • 💻 Offline Research: Work on-the-go or in air-gapped environments. Once the models are downloaded, no internet connection is required.
  • 🛠️ Developer Productivity: Quickly query local documentation or large codebases (via text/PDF) using a streamlined CLI or Web interface.

⚙️ Data Sensitivity Tiers
