| Best use | Best for an individual developer or small team tracing a bug, adding a test, or implementing a bounded change with a reviewable plan and diff. Avoid broad production access or unscoped Auto-approve, and do not treat it as a replacement for tests, Git, or human review. | Best for a developer or analyst extracting text from several document formats before search or supplying selected passages to an AI agent. It provides a repeatable CLI command and Python library, while requiring review against the original. It is not intended for layout-perfect document publishing. | Best for a developer or small team with connected scripts that need schedules, history, and a clear failure point. It adds dependencies, retries, and an operations UI without an external database in single-server mode. A simple independent command may not need it, and some team controls such as additional users, SSO, RBAC, and audit logging currently require a paid license. |
