What it really isAnara (formerly Unriddle) — AI research assistant for reading, chatting with, and summarizing complex documents.
Our takeUnriddle is an AI-powered document research assistant.
Unriddle rebranded to Anara in March 2025 (unriddle.ai now redirects to anara.com). The platform lets researchers upload PDFs, chat with documents via Q&A, generate summaries, and write with auto-cited references. It is freemium, with a permanent free tier.
Why we rate itTrusted by 3M+ researchers at Stanford, MIT, GSK, NIH, and Intel.
Covers the full research loop — ingest, comprehend, extract, cite, draft — in one tool. Multilingual support (90+ languages) and a Chrome extension for one-click web-article summaries broaden its utility.
The catchFree tier is quickly limiting (1,000 AI words/day); Pro at $20/mo is essentially required for serious use.
Max plan pricing is opaque on the public page. No native integrations with reference managers like Zotero or Mendeley.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Academic and scientific researchers processing large PDF libraries
  • Graduate students writing literature reviews with citation needs
  • Industry analysts summarizing lengthy reports and transcripts
Not good for
  • Teams needing deep Zotero/Mendeley/EndNote integration
  • Casual users who only occasionally read a document
  • Enterprise workflows requiring on-premise or strict data-residency without custom plan
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: upload a PDF and get a summary or start chatting within seconds; no setup or training required.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-plan word/upload limits throttle heavy users on Free and Plus; Pro is near-unlimited but per-user cost stacks for large teams.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: documents and notes live in Anara's cloud; exports are available but cited workflows and libraries don't transfer easily to other tools.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
