They create a retrieval problem, a provenance problem, and a maintenance problem.</p> <p>AI can help with summaries, similarity, explanations, and synthesis. It should not become the only way to capture, find, or trust the material.</p> <h2 id="build-the-dependable-layer-first">Build the dependable layer first</h2> <p>A research library needs capabilities that work without a model provider:</p> <ul> <li>capture of pages, passages, files, and notes;</li> <li>readable extraction and stored source metadata;</li> <li>local full-text search;</li> <li>explicit links and backlinks;</li> <li>inspectable graph structure;</li> <li>deterministic patterns with cited evidence;</li> <li>documented backup and export paths.</li> </ul> <p>Arivu supplies that layer in a self-hosted Go application backed by SQLite. A provider is optional, so a missing key or model outage does not make the library inaccessible.</p>
