What is Humata?
Humata is an AI agent that turns your documents into a fast, intelligent knowledge base for instant analysis, insights, and answers. Unlike ChatGPT, Humata is built specifically to work with files—it reads every file you upload and generates answers based on the content of your documents, with each answer citing relevant sections from your uploaded files so you can trace where insights came from.
Key features include unlimited file uploads, unlimited questions, citation highlights that build trust with cited links into source files, embeds in any webpage with a single click, and three chat modes (Grounded, Balanced, Creative) for different response styles. Humata Thinking Mode is now live, making it dramatically better at answering tough questions about graphs, charts, and tables by using vision (LLM sees documents as full-page images) and thinking (LLLM reasons about documents before replying). Additional features include OCR for images and scanned text, response personalization, department and folder-level permissions, and enterprise-grade security with 256-bit SHA encryption and role-based access controls.
Humata is designed for experts who need to read quickly—investors, researchers, students, professors, analysts, and professional teams. Teams of every size from startups to public companies use Humata AI to speed up reporting, summarize findings from technical papers, compare documents, search for answers without reading everything, and uncover facts buried in old dense documents that are too valuable to toss but too dense for teams to read manually.
