Perplexity-style tools were completely off the table for anything with sensitive documents. So I built my own. RAG Enterprise is a 100% local RAG system — no data leaves your server, no external APIs, no hidden telemetry. It runs on your hardware with a single setup script. Here's how to get it running.
