Anara
AI for researchers
Anara is an AI research assistant that searches a user's uploaded library and academic databases, answers questions with inline citations linked to the exact source passage, and helps write documents with automatically suggested citations. It is designed for researchers in academia, biopharma, clinical practice, engineering R&D, and policy.
The Agent module handles research tasks end to end, searching the library, web, and academic databases such as PubMed, arXiv, and JSTOR, with a Deep mode that runs sub-agents in parallel. Users can choose from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Grok models or use Auto mode, and scope questions with @mentions of files, folders, or connectors. File Intelligence supports PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, presentations, images, audio, and video, with OCR, transcription, and semantic image recognition. Integrations include Zotero, Mendeley, Benchling, Google Drive, Slack, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Dropbox, and others. The platform is available on web, iOS, and Microsoft Word, with a Chrome extension for saving sources.
Anara offers a free plan with limited AI usage and uploads, alongside paid tiers billed per seat, with a yearly option. Enterprise plans add SAML SSO, SCIM user provisioning, custom roles, and a BAA for HIPAA-covered data.
