Complex Research, Made Simple

As an AppSumo veteran, I've seen it all. In five years as a Sumoling, I have purchased nearly 1,000 deals. I rarely give this much praise to a product, but Afforai deserves it. In my opinion, this will be one of the top 10, maybe even top 5, best LTD purchases I've ever made. Zotero and similar products are completely outclassed by the product. In the event that this tool returns to AppSumo, it should be your first purchase if you do any kind of research or are in academia. Even if this deal returns for a brief period, I can't emphasize enough how much you will rely upon it as a researcher, student, or other member of academia if it does.

I had some doubts at first, but seeing the continuous improvements has made my work and studies increasingly effortless. I truly appreciate the team that made this possible. Thank you!

As a masters student and working professional, this product is amazing. It organizes documents so well and I can have notes/highlight, complete readings right there. Also the chatbox is a fabulous feature. This app really makes research feel fun and empowering because it makes everything so easy! Thank you! So glad I invested in this app in it's early stages! This is sooo much better than zotero!

Refuses to delete private Data. Means, if you have created an account, you cant delete it and he will keep your email address forever... even tough you asked him politely to remove it.

Afforai is an amazing gem. You can employ what is essentially RAG within a foundational LLM in a couple clicks.....and the best part, it cites its sources and has a quick link to it. I cant say enough how amazing this is. I use Voila, Merlin, Claude 3.5 sonnet (natively), and Gemini 1.5 Pro. This is the best value by far and out performs them in alot of real world use cases because of the UI. I thought DocXter would do what this does....it does not and that was a major letdown. Voila and Merlin are fine for lighter use cases but Afforai helps you get work done--reliably.

This is the definition of focusing on making the best tool for a particular use. While a bunch of other AI tools over-extend and try to make an all-in-one, they all end up being completely useless. I have Afforai pinned to my browser because it's reliable.

You know, there are a lot of glowing reviews about Afforai, and the truth is... they're spot on.

This is one of the best tools I've ever known. If you crave knowledge and love research, then Afforai is a must-have tool.

Afforai è un assistente di ricerca AI all'avanguardia che semplifica notevolmente il processo di ricerca. Questa app offre una vasta gamma di funzionalità, tra cui la possibilità di cercare, riassumere e tradurre informazioni da centinaia di documenti in modo semplice ed efficiente. Una delle caratteristiche più interessanti di Afforai è la sua capacità di condensare le informazioni provenienti da più file in pezzi di informazioni affidabili e facilmente digeribili, rendendola ideale per le recensioni della letteratura o per comprendere argomenti complessi. Inoltre, l'assistente AI raccoglie le citazioni per ogni risposta, garantendo la credibilità della ricerca. È un eccellente esempio di come la tecnologia AI possa migliorare la produttività e semplificare i flussi di lavoro.

I've been using Afforai for a couple of weeks now and it works very well. I'm using it to organize and query papers (to get a quick overview of the main points) and add anotations. Recently I have also generated bibtex entries directly using document retrieval mode which works great. I saved a custom prompt to generate them in the style I want:

"As an expert in LaTeX and BibTeX and a thoughtful AI assistant, please create a BibTeX entry for the following URL. Think of each field carefully and separately. As the citation key use "lastname of author", "year", and two descriptive words in the title that make clear what the article is about. Please use the @article class and add a note with the access date following the template "accessed Month, day year" where the month is, for example, "May." Ensure "accessed" is lowercase. Based on the url try your best to retrieve the full name of the organization. Think carefully to get the correct name. Add the fields "journal" and "publisher" filled with the full name organization that published the URL. Do not include the abbreviated name in these fields. Take extra care to find the author of the article. Use the name or names of the contributors even if they are note explicitly credited as authors. Only if there is no author should the organization's abbreviation be used as the author. Before using the organization's abbreviation think again if you can find the author. Look again on the page. Ensure you use only the abbreviation. Here is the link:"

If you're gonna do literature research then this is the best tools. It has capability to search in peer reviewed journals. I wish it has the capability to upload document and images directly to the chat interface. However, it is nicely done and this tools will be populer in research field.

Afforai has revolutionized our household, enhancing research efficiency for my university-aged children and me. Here's how:

For Me (Entrepreneur & Technical Architect):

Afforai manages the documents I encounter daily, including requirements, case studies, technical articles, and legal regulations. It analyzes, summarizes, and correlates information across them, eliminating the need to sift through hundreds of pages. This saves me substantial time and effort, allowing me to focus on the bigger picture.

For My Daughter (Pre-Med):

Afforai is a lifesaver for her medical studies. Researching and summarizing complex medical documents used to be time-consuming. Now, Afforai handles the heavy lifting, enabling her to focus on understanding and applying the material effectively.

For My Son (Mechanical Engineering):

Keeping up with the latest advancements in engineering can be overwhelming. Afforai simplifies research for his projects by summarizing relevant documents and highlighting new developments in the field. This lets him delve deeper into specific areas with confidence.

Afforai has become an indispensable tool for all of us, allowing us to work smarter, not harder. It's a research powerhouse that truly benefits the entire family.

Really enjoying Afforai! Glad I did not miss this! Saves me a ton of time on research! The team is very hardworking! Great job on a good product! Looking forward to all the future updates!
