About Afforai

Afforai is a reference manager that combines traditional source organization with an AI research assistant. It allows users to collect, organize, and annotate sources in a Zotero-like interface, and then interact with those sources through a chat interface that provides answers with citations. Core capabilities include importing references from databases, creating folders and tags, and asking questions across your entire library to get cited responses. It also supports collaborative workspaces for team research. Afforai is designed for researchers, students, and professionals who need to manage large volumes of literature and quickly extract insights with verifiable sources.
