Question 1

Does everything stay on my computer?

Accepted Answer

Original files, searchable copies, document search, chats, and settings are stored locally. When nonlinear. needs help reading a page or answering a question, it sends only the pages or excerpts needed to an outside AI service.

Question 2

Does a citation guarantee the answer is correct?

Accepted Answer

No. Citations identify the source used for an answer and make verification faster, but the user must still inspect the underlying record.

Question 3

Why can nonlinear. refuse to answer?

Accepted Answer

The software is instructed to say it cannot answer when the selected files do not contain enough support.
