Document Q&A questions
Common answers about citations, local indexing, and supported documents.
Can Orkas chat with my PDFs and documents?
Yes. Add PDFs and documents to your local Library; Orkas searches them and answers with citations to source chunks. Use Orkas-managed official models or connect your own provider.
Where are my documents stored?
By default the source files and vector index stay on your machine. Official models use Orkas services; own-provider model calls go direct. Optional sync stores the data you choose to sync on Orkas servers, and the free edition sends limited usage metadata, not your content.
Are the answers grounded, and do I get citations?
Yes. Answers are grounded in your documents and cite the source chunks the search hit, so you can open the original passage and verify it before you rely on it.
Is Orkas a private chat-with-PDF tool?
Yes. Your source files and local Library stay on your machine by default. Use Orkas-managed official models, or connect your own provider; own-provider model calls go direct.
