Humata

Humata is a web-based AI agent for students, researchers, and teams that turns uploaded documents into an interactive knowledge base for fast analysis, insights, and answers.

Key capabilities include:

• Document Q&A with citations, so users can ask questions across uploaded files and trace each answer back to the relevant source passages
• AI summaries and rewrites for long papers and reports, including iterative refinement by asking follow-up prompts
• Multi-format document support, including PDFs and Word documents, with Team plan support for OCR on images and scanned text
• Team sharing and access controls, including department and folder-level permissions (Team plan)

Pricing: Freemium. Free plan ($0) includes up to 60 pages and 10 answers. Paid plans include Expert ($9.99/month) with usage-based additional pages, and Team ($49/user/month) with higher page limits and team permissions.

What makes it notable is its focus on file-grounded answers with built-in citations and usage-based scaling, making it a practical alternative to general chatbots when users need document-specific, verifiable responses.
