Humata
An AI research assistant that answers questions from your PDFs and documents.
Key facts: Humata lets you upload PDFs and other documents, then ask questions and get answers grounded in those files, with citations back to the source pages. It is built for researchers, students and analysts working through long papers, reports and contracts.
Plans: Humata has a free plan with limits on pages and questions, and paid plans that raise document limits, add collaboration and support larger files. Check the official pricing page for current limits.
Best for: anyone who needs answers from a stack of papers without reading every page. Watch out: answers are only as good as the upload — always open the cited page before quoting a result in your own work.

Watch out for
- Answers are only as good as the upload. Always open the cited page before quoting a result in your own work.
- The free plan limits pages and questions, so large document sets need a paid plan.
- It answers from documents, it does not replace reading the key passages yourself.
