What Humata is
Humata turns documents into a question-answering knowledge base. You upload PDFs, contracts, papers or reports, and it answers questions with citations pointing to the page and passage the answer came from — the feature that matters for due diligence and research, where an unsourced answer is worth nothing. It handles long documents and collections, compares across files, and can generate summaries and tables from the contents. The limits are source quality and scope: it answers from what you upload and does not browse the web unless asked to, scanned PDFs need good OCR, and the interface assumes a research workflow rather than a general chat. Folders scope a project so questions apply to one deal rather than the whole library, and tables can be extracted from a report into a structured format. Answers export with their citations, which matters when the output goes into a memo.
Best for
- Reviewing contracts and flagging specific clauses
- Research across a set of papers or reports
- Due diligence where answers must be traceable
Not ideal for
- General web research outside uploaded files
- Documents that are poorly scanned images
Pros
- Citations point to the page the answer came from
- Works across a collection of documents
- Summaries and tables generated from the contents
Cons
- Answers are limited to what you upload
- Needs clean text rather than scanned images
- Interface is research-oriented rather than general
Pricing in detail
The free plan includes a limited number of pages and questions per month. Paid plans are billed monthly per user and raise page and question limits, add larger file sizes, team sharing and advanced analysis; annual billing lowers the monthly rate. Because limits are counted in pages uploaded and questions asked, a due-diligence project with large files can exhaust a plan in a single week.
