I don't know how tight your legal restrictions are but we work from metadata only. We don't need your text / img / audio. We just need their embeddings and a few other stuff. And we are working on a self hosted version as well. Out of curiosity, what would you expect in terms of pricing ?

I don't know how much I would pay because I have not researched your product, sorry for being unhelpful. Just to throw a useless number out, if there was a standalone version licensed for individual use I would impulse pay $100 to run it on my workstation and give it a try. Because while I do have scripts to automate a lot of my data analysis it's always nice to have a turnkey solution that automates it even more, and there is the promise that next year I could buy a new version that stays up to date with the integrations or adds more features. I can't imagine that is enough money to fund your development, but... there is no chance anyone in our org will jump through the hoops to adopt and purchase this as part of your enterprise sales when we already have tooling that does what you do, just not as polished. This is code we own and can extend ourselves, which I'm guessing is not something we can do with a SaaS offering.

I am afraid any information at all about data or models can't go to a 3rd party server. Practically speaking stuff has to be able to run on firewalled servers that are only accessible on the company network. Exceptions would have to go through the legal department and at least 6 months of meetings where you would be repeatedly told no, unless it is vital to the product, which a dashboard isn't, even if it could theoretically be allowed.

Thanks for sharing
