Humata

Humata is an AI-powered document assistant built to work with users' files and knowledge bases. It ingests documents and enables users to ask natural-language questions, get summaries, compare documents, and receive answers that include citations back to the source material. Humata is aimed at researchers, teams, educators, and anyone who needs to extract and act on information stored in documents.

The platform emphasizes secure team collaboration with enterprise-grade data rooms, role-based access, and encrypted storage. It offers both individual and team plans with scalable usage (page-based allowances and per-page overage charges) and the ability to embed the document Q&A experience into web pages.
