Think. Analyze. Discover.

Connect Claude, GPT, Gemini or any local model, feed it your own files and links, then ask anything — answers come with citations from your data.

📚 Knowledge base

Everything you add is chunked and indexed locally in data/ — nothing leaves your machine until you chat.

💾 Disk file or folder

Index files straight from your disk — PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Markdown, code…

📤 Upload files

Any size, any type. Big files stream straight from your browser to cloud object storage; smaller ones are indexed for chat right away. Tabular files (CSV/TSV) can be analyzed by the compute engine — real statistics your papers can cite.

No files selected

PDFs, books and Office files are digested: text by section with page numbers, every figure with its caption, scanned pages read by OCR, and an AI summary — all saved in a folder you can open below.

🌐 Web page (cloud data)

Fetch an article or doc page into your knowledge base.

🔬 Research literature

Search PubMed / arXiv and add papers (with abstracts) to your bank — the AI Paper tool cites them.

📝 Quick note

Jot something down for your brain to remember.

📚 Library

Folders and sub-folders for your knowledge — Heart/HFpEF, Sepsis, Methods… Upload into a folder, move files between folders, and link folders to a project so its AI reads the right shelf.

Sources

🗂️ Workspace

Documents live in the workspace you are in, so a team document is shared with the team. Every save keeps the previous version, and each document is indexed into your knowledge base — chat can cite your own writing.

Your documents

📌 Team projects

Every team you belong to, its projects, and what the team did today. The daily journal is written by itself as members work and saved inside the team's folder (journal/YYYY-MM-DD.md), indexed so chat can answer "what did we do yesterday?".

🔒 Private by designKnowledge base, documents, projects and apps are stored in a folder next to the program.
🤖 Bring your own AIAdd an OpenAI / Anthropic / Google key in Settings, or run Ollama for a free local model.
📄 PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPointDigest and search your files exactly like on zurae.ai.
🔄 Always currentThe download is built from the version running here (). Download again to update — your data folder is kept.

✨ Build app

Small apps for your lab, built in a minute. Start from a template or describe your idea; run it here with your data saved in this workspace; publish it to GitHub Pages or a Hugging Face Space with one click.

🧪 Projects

One project = one paper with everything behind it: figures, data, wet-bench results, tables, scripts and reviews, each in its own folder. Drop a file in and the project updates; click any figure or paragraph in the paper to change it; paste reviewer comments and approve the revisions.

👥 Teams

Your own workspace is private. A team workspace is shared: everyone in it sees the same sources, files, chats and citations. Switch between them at the top of the sidebar.

+ New team workspace

Name it after the project or lab — you can create several.

🔌 AI Providers

Connect the AIs you already use. Three ways in, most automatic first: a signed-in vendor CLI (no key at all), an API key found in your environment, or a pasted API key — keys stay in data/settings.json on this machine. Ollama runs fully offline with no account.

🪪 Sign in with your AI accounts no API key

If a vendor's CLI is installed and signed in, Zurae chats through your existing subscription automatically — Claude Code (Claude account), Codex CLI (ChatGPT account), Gemini CLI (Google account). Detected ones appear in the model picker by themselves.
