Frequently asked questions
Direct answers, no hedging. If something is not built yet, it says so.
What is Indelis in one sentence?
Indelis is the Synthesis Layer: it turns sources you have read and verified into original work, where every claim traces back to evidence you can defend.
Is it a notes app, a wiki or a chatbot?
None of the three. Notes apps optimise saving; wikis optimise organising; chatbots produce plausible text without your evidence. Indelis optimises the step they all stop short of: shipping original work grounded in sources you verified — with a trust band on every claim.
What do the trust bands mean?
Every claim in the work Indelis helps you produce carries one of three bands. Solid — you verified the claim and your sources agree. Contested — your sources disagree; the claim is still shown, but flagged. Tentative — it rests on a single source and has not been confirmed. The bands are not decoration: they are computed from the evidence in your vault, and they change when the evidence changes.
Which LLMs does it use?
The ones you choose. Indelis works with local models through Ollama, or with a cloud provider using your own API key. There is no imposed default: the provider, the model and the privacy trade-off are your decision, configured per user. A self-hosted deployment can run entirely on local models, so nothing ever leaves your machine.
Can I get my data out?
Yes, at any moment. The vault itself is plain Markdown files with frontmatter — there is no proprietary format to escape from. A full Markdown export is built in, and what you export is the same thing the product works on.
Is there a hosted version?
Not yet. Today Indelis is free to self-host (Docker). A hosted version is planned for Stage 2, at roughly $15–20 per month — planned means it does not exist yet, so read that price as an intention, not an offer. If you want the product now, self-hosting is the way in.
