Noob here. 

Hoping someone here has experience making RAGs for non-profits. I have created a project that reads policies, guidelines, and training manuals for an animal shelter I work at to provide foster families with up to date information regarding programs and where to direct concerns etc.

 I am looking for **insight regarding upkeep, realistic pricing expectations, and more**. I have no background in anything remotely techy outside of html forums lol and am using my software engineer brother as a crutch. Thank ya!

Hi, Dnavin! Welcome to the Vercel Community :waving_hand: 

Have you tried building this idea out on [v0](https://v0.dev)? It might be a great place to start!

Hi Pauline, 

Thank you for your reply. I have created this with v0 and it seems to be working very well - but am not the most savvy with technology and unsure of the limitations this has. I am waiting on our tech person to talk about deployment and creating a trial run for it.
