Anara is a research agent, not just a chatbot. In a single conversation, it can search your library, browse the web, create content, run code, and manage your workspace — all grounded in your sources and verifiable with inline citations.
Search and retrieve
Search your library: Find relevant passages across all your uploaded documents, notes, and connected sources.
Web search: Search the open web for information not in your library, and combine it with your documents in a single response.
Read document pages: Read full pages from PDFs for comprehensive coverage of specific sections.
Read URLs: Fetch and read content from any web URL you share in the chat.
Search connected sources: If you've connected Notion, Google Drive, Zotero, SharePoint, PubMed, or others, the AI can search those directly. See Connecting your research tools to Anara.
Create and edit content
Create notes: Generate a new note in your library with structured content from the conversation.
Edit notes: Update existing notes based on your instructions.
Create citations: Generate formatted citations for sources in your library or from the web.
Create images: Generate images directly in the chat.
Analyze and visualize
Generate visualizations: Create charts and graphs from data in your documents.
Execute code: Run Python or JavaScript in a sandboxed environment to analyze data, process text, or perform calculations.
Generate animations: Create mathematical animations for technical content.
Manage your workspace
Import documents: Bring new papers or files into your library during a conversation (requires your approval).
Create plans: Break complex multi-step tasks into structured execution plans before carrying them out.
Manage memory: Save facts or preferences you want the AI to remember across sessions.
Organize files: Move files, create folders, and edit document metadata.
Grounded in your sources
Everything the AI produces is tied to real sources. Responses include inline citations that link back to exact passages in your documents, so you can verify any claim and trace your research to primary sources. See How citations work in Anara.
Tip: Use @mentions to steer which sources and tools the AI uses. Type @ in the chat input to choose from Sources, Tools, and Files.
