Over the past few weeks, I used Unriddle AI, now operating under the name Anara, to evaluate how it functions in a typical research setting. The tool is designed to process various content types such as PDFs, scanned documents, articles, audio, and video. In practice, it provided features like document summarization, note organization, and citation management, which can support common academic and professional workflows. This review is based on direct use of the platform and outlines both its practical functions and the areas where it may have limitations, depending on user needs.

Final Thoughts

After using Anara for a while, I found it helpful for saving time with research tasks like summarizing long documents and organizing notes. It works best when used as a support tool, not something to fully replace reading or writing. How useful it is really depends on your workflow and how you use its features.

If you're just getting started, here are a few quick tips:

  • Start small – Try short documents first to learn how it works.
  • Be clear – Ask specific questions in the chat for better answers.
  • Use Collections – Great for grouping related documents.
  • Check sources – Always verify quotes or citations from the AI.
  • Use Chrome extension lightly – It’s useful, but it lags.
  • Edit suggestions – Don’t copy AI writing as-is.
  • Try different file types – Upload audio, images, or video too.
  • Test on phone and desktop – The experience varies.
