4. AI-Generated Content & Technical Disclaimer

Astra leverages cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

5. RAG Pipeline & Document Uploads

Astra allows users to upload documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, HTML) for semantic search, vector indexing, and question answering. Regarding uploaded content:

  • You retain all proprietary ownership and intellectual property rights to the documents you upload.
  • You warrant that you possess the necessary rights, licenses, and authority to upload and process such documents.
  • Your documents are strictly isolated to your authenticated account ID and are not shared with, indexed for, or accessible by other users.
