Kahubi vs Anara
Anara, previously called Unriddle, is a polished way to read, organise and ask questions across your sources, with answers linked to the exact passage. Kahubi shares that core idea and adds the research methods around it: screening, statistics, interviews and a manuscript that compiles.
What Anara does well
Credit where it's due: these are real strengths, and for some workflows they are exactly what you need.
- Answers linked to the exact passage in your sources, which makes checking easy
- Works across many file types, including notes, slides and recordings
- Collections that let you ask questions across a group of documents
- A smooth experience for students and researchers
Where Kahubi differs
Research methods, not only reading
Kahubi runs the methods work around your sources: a systematic review flow with screening and PRISMA numbers, 27+ statistical tests on your CSV files, interview transcription and thematic coding. The results land in the same project as your literature.
Interviews processed in the EU
Interview and focus group recordings are transcribed by European providers with speaker labels and optional redaction of names and other personal details. Codes stay linked to the exact passage, so every quote in your findings can be traced back.
A real manuscript
Kahubi drafts are LaTeX or rich-text documents that compile to PDF, export to Word, and keep a version history. The agent writes in a style learned from your own published papers, not a generic academic voice.
Search beyond your uploads
The agent searches OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar for papers you do not have yet and imports them with PDFs where open access allows, so your library grows from inside the conversation.
