Output ownership: You own the output generated by our tools (transcripts, summaries, processed images, etc.). You may use output for any lawful purpose, including commercial use.
No training: We do not use your content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. See our Privacy Policy for details.

- Summaries may omit important details or misrepresent the source material.
- OCR results may contain errors, especially with handwritten or low-quality images.
You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying AI-generated output before relying on it for any purpose. Do not use RunCLI output as the sole basis for legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical decisions.
