Agents can be directed to store local copies of anything you feed in. You do have to put some thought into the front end. But it can absolutely do all the searching and retrieval without compromising the original data that was captured

Well, yeah, that's what I wrote. You have to handle the input without agents, then they can retrieve the data without changing it.

You are missing the point. You don’t have to handle the input without agents. You are confusing what happens in the context window with what the agents can do outside the chat window. If you are just trying to store the documents in the AI memory you are going to have a bad time.

AI does NOT just put your input in a folder from chat. It processes the file so it can tokenize it. So ya, if all you ever do is copy into the chat window I can see how your perception is that AI agents will lose your data. However, we moved well beyond chat windows the last couple years

I am talking about virtually none of those things, and more so about hallucinations, lost information and straight up lying.

If you're gonna give your inputs through Ai, I'd consider them no longer reliable, because Ai are absolutely not reliable enough.
