Product boundary

The nozomio-labs GitHub org hosts small open client repositories (nia-cli under Apache-2.0, plus a setup wizard, Claude Code plugin, and agent skill); the indexer, vector store, and ranking logic served from trynia.ai are closed and hosted, and self-hosted deployment of that stack is offered only as an enterprise arrangement.
