Self-host a ChatGPT-style QA for team docs with one Docker command via kotaemon

The author notes that ChatGPT's file upload suits quick questions but not shared team document workflows—teams need page-level citations, shared collections, access control, and sensitive files kept on their own infrastructure. The open-source project kotaemon offers a self-hosted document QA UI: ask questions across documents, verify answers in a built-in PDF viewer, and organize files into private or public collections. It combines keyword and semantic search, reasons across multiple documents for complex questions, runs on your own infra with one Docker command, and works with OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models.
