 ## Why this project
 
 A basic "chat with PDF" demo often stops at sending a prompt to a model. ContextIQ extends that workflow with a persistent data model, source attribution, authenticated boundaries, background jobs, failure handling, and metrics.
 
-Its purpose is to demonstrate **AI application engineering**, not just prompt design.
