A: Yes, that sounds like a fit. I think this recent user review can speak more than whatever I say:

"Not just for academia

I never considered Afforai earlier because I thought it was for people in academia/research. So glad I tried it and realized it’s invaluable for business and personal usage as well!

I can load in interminably long PDFs and web pages on whatever topic. Then I can use Afforai as a chatbot to get accurate, non-hallucinatory answers with clear indicators for where that information came from. Saves me so much time in poring over long legal documents, reports, and ebooks.

Also, the UI is remarkably polished, and the company is mind-bogglingly responsive and active on weekends, nights, holidays."

Check out our User Guide below. It includes Afforai Academy, a series of videos teaching you how to effectively use Afforai. Im confident it will be helpful to you:
