This is not local, but uses the Tavily cloud (https://tavily.com/) ?!

Just downloaded it and mucked about. It definitely works without the cloud, because it works while I'm offline. Looking at the code, it looks like an opt-in feature where you can provide your API key to Tavily.

That said, it seems built toward "Cheat on your homework" and doesn't reliably surface information from my notes, so I uninstalled it.

This is getting murky.

As a suggestion to the author, please try to make it verifiably local only with an easy to set option.

Tavily search is an option, disabled by default.

Maybe the author could make a note of that in the README.
