Humata is an AI tool that turns uploaded documents into a knowledge base you can question in plain language. Users add files, then ask the AI to summarize findings, compare documents, or search for specific answers. The company describes it as an AI agent for instant analysis, insights, and answers, and compares the experience to ChatGPT for PDFs.
Humata is operated by Tilda Technologies Inc. and announced a $3.5M funding round led by Google's Gradient Ventures. Its site includes testimonials from a research firm CEO, a university professor, an innovation project manager at SGN, and a postdoctoral researcher, which points to a user base of researchers, educators, and knowledge workers.
You upload documents to Humata and ask questions in a chat-style interface. According to the company, the AI reads every file you upload and builds answers from the content of those documents rather than from general knowledge. Each answer cites relevant sections of the files, with links back to the source material.
If an answer is too long, you can ask for a shorter summary and have the AI rewrite it until you are satisfied. Teams can share files in a private cloud and control which users are allowed to ask questions about each document. Humata can also be embedded in a webpage so outside visitors can query your documents.
The core features listed are unlimited files, unlimited questions, highlighted citations, and embedding in any webpage. Citations are the main trust mechanism, since each answer links into the source file so users can check where an insight came from. Summaries, document comparison, and search are the main tasks the AI is built to handle.
On the security side, Humata lists a secured private cloud, encryption at rest described as enterprise-grade 256 bit SHA encryption, and role-based access with limited-privilege roles. Single sign-on with Okta, Google, or SAML is marked as coming soon. Higher tiers add department and folder permissions, OCR for images and scanned text, and response personalization.
