# Anara
> Anara is an AI research workspace for finding, reading, comparing, and writing with sources.
## Research workflows
- **Build a library.** Import documents and organize them into folders for a research project.
- **Read and compare sources.** Ask questions about a document, folder, or library; inspect the cited passages behind an answer.
- **Search for evidence.** Use library and web search to investigate a question, then review the original sources.
- **Write with citations.** Draft and edit notes with source references and export your work.
- **Work with connected sources.** Connect supported services from workspace settings. Availability depends on the plan, workspace configuration, and service permissions.
## Checking an answer
AI-generated answers can contain errors or omit relevant evidence. Open the cited source, check the surrounding context, and verify that it supports the specific claim before relying on it. A citation is a way to inspect evidence, not a guarantee of accuracy. See the [benchmark page](https://anara.com/benchmarks) for the published evaluation and its scope.

# Security
Source: https://docs.anara.com/legal/security
At Anara, safeguarding your data is our highest priority. We've designed our platform with security and privacy at its core. Below, you'll find information on how we protect your data, our compliance efforts, and answers to common security questions.
We encourage responsible disclosure of any security vulnerabilities. Please send reports to **[security@anara.com](mailto:security@anara.com)**, and our team will acknowledge and investigate promptly.
## Compliance
We are actively working with an audit partner to achieve both SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 compliance, ensuring rigorous controls around security, availability, and data privacy.
We are pursuing ISO 27001 certification to establish a comprehensive information security management system (ISMS) that demonstrates our commitment to protecting sensitive information.
Anara is fully compliant with GDPR requirements. We implement data protection by design and default, ensuring user control over personal data, data portability, and the right to be forgotten.
## Model Training
Anara employs advanced language models to surface insights from your research materials.
* **No Third-Party Model Training**: We never allow third-party AI providers (like OpenAI and Anthropic) to train their models on your private or proprietary data.
* **No Internal Model Training**: Your data is never used to train any AI models within Anara. We do not use your information for internal model development.
* **Zero Data Retention**: We have zero data retention agreements in place with all our model providers. This means AI providers immediately delete your data after processing, ensuring your information is never stored on their servers.
## Data Encryption
### Encryption at Rest
Our data security measures include multiple layers of encryption: our primary database uses AES-256 (or equivalent) encryption for all user and application data, which is hosted in US-based data centers. Uploaded files and media are protected in encrypted object storage buckets with server-side encryption, also located in US regions. Additionally, we employ managed in-memory data stores for caching and session data, all of which remains encrypted at rest using industry-standard algorithms.
### Encryption in Transit
All data transmitted to and from Anara is protected using industry-standard encryption protocols. We enforce TLS 1.2 or higher across our entire infrastructure, including web app access, API calls, database connections, object storage, CDN delivery, and internal service communications. This ensures that all data remains private and secure while in transit, with automatic rejection of any non-encrypted connection attempts.
## Access Control
### Role-Based Access
We implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) at both the application and infrastructure levels. Only authorized personnel have the minimum permissions required to perform their jobs. Database credentials, API keys, and production secrets are stored in encrypted secret-management services with fine-grained access policies.
### Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
All Anara employees with access to production systems are required to use MFA (with hardware tokens or authenticator apps). For organizations using Anara's Enterprise tier, we offer Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0 or OAuth2, integrating seamlessly with popular identity providers. MFA is enforced at the identity provider level.
### Data Retention
* **Data Deletion**: You have full control over your data. At any time, you can delete individual folders, files, or your entire account. Once deleted, content is purged from our database and object storage within 30 days.
* **Data Export**: To request an export of your files, folders and library data, email [support@anara.com](mailto:support@anara.com). We'll prepare a downloadable ZIP containing your raw files and database exports.
* **Retention Policies**:

The Platform is not designed to comply with industry-specific regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") or the Federal Information Security Management Act ("FISMA"), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use this Platform.
## Changes
We may alter the Materials and Services we offer you and/or may choose to modify, suspend or discontinue any part or all of the Platform at any time and without notifying you. We may also change, update, add or remove provisions of these Terms from time to time. We will inform you of any modifications to these Terms by posting the modified terms of use on the Site and, if you have registered with us (as described below), by describing the modifications to these Terms in an email that we will send to the address associated with your account in our records. To be sure we properly reach your email inbox, we just ask that you let us know if your preferred email address changes at any time after your registration.
If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Platform. Continued use of the Platform following notice of any such modifications indicates you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications. Also, please know that these Terms may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of the Site or on the sites of our partners. Such expressly designated legal notices or terms are incorporated into these Terms and supersede the provision(s) of these Terms that are designated as being superseded.
## General Use
By using the Platform, you agree that you are at least 18 years of age, or if you are under 18 years of age (a "Minor"), that you are using the Platform with the consent of your parent or legal guardian and you have received your parent's or legal guardian's permission to use the Platform and agree to these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a Minor, you agree to bind the Minor to these Terms and to fully indemnify and hold us harmless if the Minor breaches any of these Terms.
In these Terms we are granting you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to access, use and to display the Materials on the Site for your personal, non-commercial use when using the Site; your right to use the Materials is conditioned on your compliance with these Terms.

Except as otherwise specified in these Terms, (a) fees are based on Services purchased, regardless of actual usage, and (b) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable. Subscription fees are based on recurring subscription periods that begin on the subscription start date and each monthly, yearly, quarterly, etc. anniversary thereof; therefore, fees for subscriptions added in the middle of a subscription period will be charged for that full month, year, quarter period (as applicable) and the periods remaining in the subscription term.

You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and notifying us of any changes to such information.

If any amounts owed by you for the Services are more than thirty (30) days overdue, Anara may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and without limiting our other rights and remedies, suspend your and your Authorized Users' access to the Platform until such amounts are paid in full; provided that Anara agrees that it will not exercise its rights under this Section if the applicable charges are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and you are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

The parties acknowledge that each party will have access to certain of the other party's Confidential Information or Confidential Information of third parties that the disclosing party is required to maintain as confidential. Both parties agree that all items of Confidential Information are proprietary to the disclosing party or such third party, as applicable, and will remain the sole property of the disclosing party or such third party.

## Termination
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Anara reserves the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your license to use the Platform and to block or prevent your future access to and use of the Platform, including but not limited to where we reasonably consider that: (a) your use of the Platform violates these Terms or applicable law; (b) you fraudulently use or misuse the Platform; or (c) we are unable to continue providing the Platform to you due to technical or legitimate business reasons.

## Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Mass Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
This section is deemed to be a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, and you and Anara each agree that this section is intended to satisfy the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
THE FOLLOWING TERMS TO WHICH YOU ARE CONSENTING CONSIST OF A PRE-DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, MASS ARBITRATION PROVISION, AND A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, by using the Platform, you and Anara agree that if a dispute arises between you and Anara relating in any way to the Platform or your use thereof, including common law or statutory claims, the dispute will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this section. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL IMPACT HOW CLAIMS YOU AND ANARA HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. You and Anara agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Anara in connection with the Platform, including any products or services offered or sold on the Platform and your use of the Platform, shall be resolved exclusively through confidential, final, and binding arbitration; provided that either party may file suit in court seeking to enjoin infringement, misappropriation, or misuse of its intellectual property rights. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
### Opt-out
You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the pre-arbitration dispute resolution, final, binding arbitration procedure, mass arbitration procedure, and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms by sending a written letter to Anara at Anara Lab, Inc., 2 Marina Blvd, Landmark Building B, San Francisco, CA 94123 (the "Notice Address"), within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to these Terms. The letter must be signed personally by you or your legal guardian and specify: (1) your first and last name; (2) your mailing address; (3) your email address; and (4) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedures set forth above, all other terms of these Terms shall continue to apply.
### Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
You and Anara agree that whenever you or Anara have a disagreement ("Dispute") with the other arising out of, connected to, or in any way related to the Platform that is subject to the arbitration provision herein, you and Anara will first send a written notice to the other party (a "Demand"). You and Anara agree that the requirements of this Dispute Resolution section will apply even to disagreements that may have arisen before you accepted these Terms. You must send the Demand to the Notice Address. Anara must send the Demand to you via certified mail to the most recent address Anara has on file for you (or by email if Anara only has an email address for you on file). A Demand (1) shall seek to resolve a Dispute only on an individual basis; (2) shall state the full basis for the Dispute (including the details about the Dispute sufficient for the recipient to review and respond) and the date that the Dispute arose; (3) shall provide the individual claimant's full name, phone number, and email address to confirm their identity and to aid communication; and (4) shall be personally signed by the individual claimant or for Anara by its authorized representative (and not only their counsel). Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of a Demand, the recipient may request an individualized video or telephone conference to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute which both you and Anara will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). You and Anara agree that you and Anara will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until after the period to request a conference expires or, if a conference is requested, twenty (20) business days after the individualized conference is completed. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution procedure section is mandatory and a condition precedent to initiating any lawsuit or arbitration. This procedure is essential to providing each of us a meaningful opportunity to resolve Disputes informally. Any applicable limitations periods and filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the process set forth above. A court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of a lawsuit or arbitration if these requirements have not been met.
### Arbitration Procedure
If the Dispute stated in the Demand is not resolved to your or Anara's satisfaction within ten (10) business days after the conference described above (or within ten (10) business days after the time when such a conference may be requested if no conference has been requested), and you intend on taking legal action, you agree that you will file a demand for arbitration with JAMS. The arbitration will be conducted under JAMS's Comprehensive Rules & Procedures, including the JAMS's Consumer Rules (as applicable), as modified by these Terms to Arbitrate. The JAMS's rules and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings are available on the JAMS's website at: [https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/](https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/). The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, except that a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration if the Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution requirements set forth above have not been met.
The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is \$10,000 or less, either you or Anara may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone and/or video conference or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on the other party subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone and/or video conference, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law.
The arbitrator's award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS's rules.
### Class Action Waiver
You and Anara agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Anara agree otherwise or the Mass Arbitration provisions set forth below are triggered, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person's or party's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect any other person or party. You and Anara further agree that in the event this arbitration agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, the prohibitions on class and representative actions and non-individualized relief set forth in this paragraph are severable and shall apply to any claim between you and Anara in any forum. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO COMMENCE OR PARTICIPATE IN CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS.
### Mass Arbitration
If, at any time, 25 or more claimants (including you) submit Demands or seek to file demands for arbitration raising similar claims against Anara, and such circumstances meet the definition and criteria of Mass Filings ("Mass Filing") set forth in National Arbitration & Mediation's ("NAM") Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures ("NAM's Mass Filing Rules") available at [https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/](https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/)), you and Anara agree that JAMS shall not serve as arbitrator and that instead NAM shall administer any Mass Filing claims and the NAM Mass Filing Rules in effect at the time such claim is filed shall apply as modified below. The parties agree to the appointment of a Procedural Arbitrator pursuant to NAM's Mass Filing Rules, and additionally agree that the Procedural Arbitrator will have the authority to determine jurisdiction and arbitrability including, but not limited to, any issue regarding the validity, existence, formation or scope of the agreement under which Arbitration is being sought, and the proper parties to the Arbitration. You agree that throughout this process, the parties' counsels shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You acknowledge and agree that your election to participate in a Mass Filing may result in a delay in the adjudication of your dispute with Anara. Any applicable limitations periods and filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the process set forth below.
**Stage One:** Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Anara shall each select 15 claims per side (30 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Anara will pay the mediator's fee.
**Stage Two:** If the remaining claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the claimants and counsel for Anara shall each select 20 claims per side (40 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this second set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Anara will pay the mediator's fee.
If your claim is not resolved as part of the staged process identified above, either:
**Option One:** You and we may separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with these Terms. You may opt out of arbitration by sending us your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out by certified mail addressed to the Notice Address. Such an opt-out notice must include a statement, personally signed by you, that you wish to opt out of arbitration within 30 days after the conclusion of Stage Two or the elective mediation associated with Stage Two. We may opt your claim out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of our intention to opt out to your counsel within 14 days after the expiration of your 30-day opt out period. Counsels for the parties may agree to adjust these deadlines.
**OR**
**Option Two:** If neither you nor we elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with Option One, then you agree that your claim will be resolved as part of continuing, staged individual arbitration proceedings as set forth below. Assuming the number of remaining claims exceeds 100, then 100 claims shall be randomly selected (or selected through a process agreed to by counsels for the parties) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. If the number of remaining claims is fewer than 100, then all of those claims will be filed and proceed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims will not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After each set of 100 claims are adjudicated, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved, this process shall repeat consistent with these parameters. Counsels for the parties are encouraged to meet and confer, participate in mediation, and engage with each other and with NAM (including through a Procedural Arbitrator, as such term is used in the NAM Rules) to explore ways to streamline the adjudication of claims, increase the number of claims to proceed at any given time, promote efficiencies, conserve resources, and resolve the remaining claims.
You and Anara agree that each party values the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wishes to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between the parties. You and Anara acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. The parties further agree that application of these Mass Filing procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of such cases. If any part of this Mass Arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the NAM rules, then the balance of this Mass Arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision was not contained herein unless the lack of such provision would lead this Mass Arbitration provision to fail of its essential purpose.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce these Mass Filing provisions and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your claim, then your claim will proceed before JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines (available at [https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures](https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures)). If a court of competent jurisdiction also determines that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines are not enforceable as to your Claim, then the remaining Claims shall be subject to Option One or Option Two above as selected by you or us.
## General
We prefer to advise you if we feel you are not complying with these Terms and to recommend any necessary corrective action. However, certain violations of these Terms, as determined by us, may result in immediate termination of your access to the Platform without prior notice to you. The Federal Arbitration Act, California state law and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms. Foreign laws do not apply. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms. Except for Disputes subject to arbitration as described above, any disputes relating to these Terms or the Platform will be heard in the courts located in San Francisco County in the State of California. If any of these Terms is found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. Our failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such term. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Anara and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between you and Anara about the Platform. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.

# Revise your paragraph to reflect what your sources actually say
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/academic-writing-polish
Paste a paragraph alongside the paper it draws from and ask Anara to revise it so each claim stays inside what the source actually argues. Anara compares your text to the uploaded paper and adjusts wording where you have overstated, understated, or paraphrased inaccurately. For writers who want to fix the substance, not just the surface.
## 1. Describe the task
You wrote a paragraph. It reflects your understanding of a paper you read. But understanding and accurate representation are not the same thing, especially several months after the read, especially across a field where the same finding gets characterized differently in different review articles.
Anara can compare your paragraph to the paper it draws from and revise it to stay inside what the source actually argues. This is not a general writing-quality pass. It is a source-accuracy revision: every sentence is held against the specific passages in the paper, and any claim that overstates, understates, or mischaracterizes the source is rewritten to match.
This workflow is used most often by researchers who are confident writers but need a second pass on source fidelity before a chapter goes to their supervisor or a paper goes to a journal. It is also the primary workflow for multilingual researchers who write in English as a second or third language and want their claims to accurately represent papers that may be in their native language or in English they read with partial attention.
Here a doctoral student in strategic environmental assessment is revising a paragraph in her chapter on climate policy integration, working through her dissertation section by section before supervisor review.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have written the following paragraph for my dissertation chapter. The paper it draws from is already in my library. Please revise the paragraph so every claim stays within what the paper actually argues. Do not change my argument structure or add new claims. If a sentence overstates the source, soften it. If it mischaracterizes the finding, correct it. Show me the revised paragraph and note any sentence you changed with a brief explanation of why.
[Paste your paragraph here]
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The paper the paragraph draws from, in your library or attached to the chat.
* The paragraph you want revised.
**Optional context**
* The chapter context. Knowing whether this paragraph is in a literature review, a methods section, or a discussion helps Anara calibrate how closely it should stay to the paper's own language.
* The target journal or supervisor's expectations. Helps Anara calibrate citation depth.
## 3. What Anara creates
A revised version of your paragraph with changes marked and explained. Each change comes with a brief note naming which sentence was adjusted and why: whether it overstated, understated, or paraphrased inaccurately. The output is a source-accurate paragraph you can drop into your draft with confidence. Where Anara cannot verify a claim against the paper, it flags it rather than guessing.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Improve the academic register after the accuracy pass
When the revision is accurate but the language needs a separate quality pass.
```text wrap theme={null}
The revised paragraph is now accurate to the source. Make a second pass to improve the academic register: tighten the language, remove any informal phrasing, and make sure the sentence structure reads clearly for a specialist audience. Do not change the substance or the citations.
```
### Check a second paragraph against the same paper
When you are working through multiple paragraphs that draw from the same source.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is the next paragraph from the same section. It also draws from the same paper. Apply the same accuracy check and show me what needs to change.
```
### Find the original passage Anara cited
When you want to verify a specific change before accepting it.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the sentence you changed in the second line, show me the exact passage from the paper you used as the basis for the revision.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The instruction "do not change my argument structure or add new claims" is important. Without it, Anara may rewrite your paragraph to more closely resemble the paper's own framing, which is accurate but may not serve your argument. If you are working with a paragraph that draws from multiple papers, name each paper and ask Anara to check each sentence against the paper it draws from. Checking one paper at a time produces more precise revisions than asking Anara to reconcile multiple sources in one pass.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara can tell you when a sentence does not match the passage, but it cannot tell you whether the passage represents the paper's main claim or a secondary detail. If the source paper has a complex argument and your paragraph is drawing on one part of it, make sure the revised sentence correctly characterizes the weight of that part. A finding that appears in one paragraph of a twenty-page paper carries different weight than a central claim the author repeats across multiple sections.
### What to do with the output next
Once the paragraph is source-accurate, use the claim-verification workflow to confirm that any new citation it points to is actually in your library. If the revision flagged sentences that could not be verified, decide whether to soften the claim, find a new source, or cut the sentence. For multilingual writers, this workflow pairs well with a final register check: run the accuracy pass first, then ask separately for an English-language quality pass so the two passes do not interfere with each other.
# Extract the same fields from a stack of similar documents
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/batch-extraction
Define the fields you need, attach a document, and Anara reads it and returns a structured output using only what the document says. Run the same prompt against every document in the stack. One chat per document, consistent output every time. For professionals who process the same document type repeatedly and need a reliable, documented extraction they can trust.
## 1. Describe the task
You receive stacks of documents that all have the same structure but different content. Infraction tickets. Construction tender specifications. Service contracts. LEVI procurement documents. The fields you need from each one are the same. Reading them end to end to find those fields is slow, inconsistent, and scales badly as the volume grows.
Anara can run a fixed extraction prompt against each document and return only what the document actually says, in the fields you define. You write the prompt once, refine it until it handles your edge cases, and then run it against every new document in the stack. One chat per document. Structured output every time.
The most effective approach, developed over months of real use: treat your extraction prompt as a versioned protocol. Start with a first draft, test it against three or four documents, note where it produces wrong or missing cells, and revise. By version five or six, the prompt handles the exceptions automatically. One professional in the painting trade is currently on version ten of their extraction protocol for construction tender specifications.
Here a regulatory compliance analyst is processing a backlog of Brazilian administrative infraction tickets and needs to extract the same six fields from each document in a consistent, auditable format.
```text wrap theme={null}
Extract the following fields from the attached document. Use only what the document explicitly states. If a field is not present in the document, write "Not found" for that field. Do not infer or estimate any value.
Fields to extract:
- Case number
- Date of infraction
- Entity cited
- Violation type (quote the specific article or clause cited)
- Penalty amount (exact figure as stated)
- Deadline for response or appeal
After the extraction, quote the exact passage from the document where the penalty amount appears.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The document to extract from, uploaded to your library or attached to the chat.
**Optional context**
* A completed example extraction from a prior document of the same type. Anara uses it to match your format and level of detail.
* The document type and jurisdiction, if the extraction depends on reading legal or regulatory conventions that are not obvious from the document text alone.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured output for this document: each field filled with the value the document explicitly states, or flagged as "Not found" where the document does not contain it. The required source passage at the bottom gives you an audit trail for the most important field in the extraction. Paste the output into your tracking spreadsheet or database and open a new chat for the next document.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Add a verification step before extracting
When you want Anara to confirm what type of document it is reading before proceeding with the extraction.
```text wrap theme={null}
Before extracting any fields, identify the document type and confirm whether this document is a formal infraction notice, an administrative warning, or a pre-infraction notification. Then proceed with the extraction only if it is a formal infraction notice. If it is not, stop and tell me what it is instead.
```
### Generate a structured output from the extracted scope
When the extraction is complete and you need to produce a downstream document from it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Using the extracted fields from this infraction ticket, draft a formal response letter from the cited entity acknowledging receipt of the notice, stating the grounds for appeal, and requesting the thirty-day extension permitted under Article 74.
```
### Compare two documents for consistency
When two documents cover the same case or contract and you need to check that the terms align.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have two documents for the same case. Extract the penalty amounts and response deadlines from both and compare them. Flag any discrepancy between what the two documents state.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Add a "CRITICAL INITIAL VERIFICATION" step at the start of your extraction prompt once you know your edge cases. For example, if your document type sometimes includes factory-applied specifications that should not be extracted alongside field-applied ones, add a verification step that checks for this before extracting. This single addition prevents the class of errors that most often invalidate an extraction. Ask for a source quote on the most critical field in every run. If the extracted value does not appear in the quoted passage, the extraction has failed and you need to run it again.
### Check the output against your own understanding
You know your document type better than Anara does. Infraction tickets, tender specifications, and service contracts all have idiomatic language that Anara may interpret differently than a trained specialist would. Check the first five or ten extractions against the originals before you trust the protocol on new documents. If Anara consistently misclassifies a field or quotes the wrong passage for a specific document structure, add a correction to your extraction prompt as a named exception. Version the prompt: keep a record of each change so you can trace why the protocol produces what it produces.
### What to do with the output next
Paste the structured output into a spreadsheet or database alongside the document reference. Over time, sorting by violation type, penalty amount, or deadline gives you patterns that are invisible when reading documents one at a time. If you maintain a separate folder for background context you want Anara to draw on but not cite as primary evidence, keep it separate from the documents you are actively extracting from so the extraction stays clean.
# Build your full reference list from your library documents
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/citation-generation
Select any folder of uploaded papers and ask Anara to generate a formatted reference list in your citation style. Anara reads the metadata from each document and returns every citation ready to paste into your bibliography. For anyone who has reached the end of a paper and still needs to finish the reference list.
## 1. Describe the task
The paper is nearly done. The only thing left is the reference list, which means opening each paper in turn, finding the publication details, and formatting them one by one. For 40 papers in APA 7, that is most of an afternoon.
Anara generates formatted citations for every paper in your library or any folder within it. It reads the metadata from each uploaded document and returns citation strings in the format you specify. Where multiple papers are cited across a conversation, you can ask for all of them at once and receive a complete bibliography section ready to paste. The output is grounded in your actual uploaded papers, not in a model's memory of titles it may have encountered elsewhere.
Here a PhD student in educational leadership has 60 papers in her dissertation folder, all uploaded as PDFs, and needs a complete APA 7 reference list for her final submission.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate APA 7 citations for all papers in my dissertation folder. Return the full reference list in alphabetical order by first author's last name. If any citation looks incomplete due to missing metadata, flag it separately at the bottom with a note on what is missing.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your library or the specific folder containing the papers you need cited.
**Optional context**
* Your preferred citation format (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, CSE, ACS, Vancouver, AMA, ASA). Anara uses your workspace default if you do not specify.
* A note or pasted list naming the specific papers you actually cited in your text. Anara can generate only the papers in that list rather than everything in the folder.
## 3. What Anara creates
A formatted reference list, sorted alphabetically, with one citation per paper. Flagged incomplete citations appear at the bottom with a brief note on what metadata is missing, so you know exactly which entries need manual attention before submission. The output is the bibliography section you paste in, not a draft to clean up.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Format for a different citation style
When you need to submit the same paper to a journal that uses a different standard.
```text wrap theme={null}
Regenerate the same reference list in Vancouver format for a biomedical journal submission. Number the entries in the order they appear in the text.
```
### Pull only the papers I actually cited
When your folder has more papers than you ended up citing in the final draft.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is my full text with inline citations. Generate a reference list containing only the papers I actually cited. Ignore anything in my library that does not appear in the text.
```
### Export as BibTeX for a LaTeX document
When your writing environment is LaTeX and you need a .bib file rather than a formatted list.
```text wrap theme={null}
Export this reference list as BibTeX. Return one entry per paper with the correct field names: author, title, journal, year, volume, pages, doi.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Ask for the format by name and version: APA 7, not just APA. APA 6 and APA 7 differ on how journal articles are formatted and how DOIs are presented, and Anara will apply whichever version you name. If you want alphabetical order, say so. For numbered reference styles like Vancouver or IEEE, specify whether the numbers should reflect the order of first citation in your text or alphabetical order. Without that instruction, Anara defaults to alphabetical.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara generates citations from the metadata of your uploaded documents. If a paper was imported from a URL that served only an abstract page, or if the PDF contains scanned images rather than machine-readable text, the metadata may be sparse. Before running a full folder citation, check whether any papers show incomplete processing status in the document details panel. Papers missing authors, publication year, or journal name will produce incomplete citations. Fix the metadata before generating, or copy the correctly formatted citation from the publisher's page and paste it manually for those entries.
### What to do with the output next
Paste the reference list into the bibliography section of your document. For Word documents, the text usually arrives as plain text and you apply your template's reference paragraph style after pasting. For LaTeX, the BibTeX export creates the .bib file you compile alongside your main document. Once the list is in place, spot-check five or six citations against the original papers, focusing on page ranges and DOIs, which are the fields most likely to be missing if a paper was imported without full text.
# Trace how a key paper has been cited and what built on it
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/citation-graph
Name a paper by title, author, or DOI and ask Anara to find the papers that cite it, the papers it cites, or related work in the same area. Anara searches a 240-million-paper index and returns a ranked list with abstracts and import options. For researchers tracing the influence of a finding or building a bibliography around a central study.
## 1. Describe the task
A paper anchors your argument. You know it was published in 2012 and the field moved after it, but you do not know who responded, who built on it, and whether anyone has since challenged the core claim. Tracking this manually means chasing footnotes across dozens of papers, most of which you do not have.
Anara can trace the citation graph for you. Give it a paper by title, author, or DOI and ask for the papers that cited it, the papers it cited, or work related to it by topic. Anara searches across 240 million scholarly works and returns results with titles, abstracts, publication years, and a direct path to import the ones you want.
Here a doctoral student in political sociology is working on a chapter about democratic backsliding and wants to find every significant paper that has cited Levitsky and Ziblatt's 2018 work since its publication.
```text wrap theme={null}
Find the papers that have cited Levitsky and Ziblatt's "How Democracies Die" (2018). Return the 20 most-cited works that cite it, with the publication year, title, authors, and a one-sentence description of how each paper engages with their argument. Focus on peer-reviewed articles rather than books or reports.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The paper you want to trace. A DOI is the most reliable identifier. Title and first author work when a DOI is unavailable.
**Optional context**
* The direction you want to trace: papers that cite this work, papers this work cites, or related work by topic.
* A date range if you want to focus on responses from a specific period.
* A field filter if the paper spans disciplines and you want responses from one of them.
## 3. What Anara creates
A ranked list of papers connected to your target through the citation graph, with abstracts, publication years, and a note on PDF availability. The list is what you review to decide which papers to import. Citation graph traversal turns a single anchor paper into a mapped territory: you can see where the conversation went after the paper was published and which responses became foundational enough to accumulate their own citations.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Find what the anchor paper was built on
When you need the intellectual genealogy behind the argument, not just what came after.
```text wrap theme={null}
Now show me the 10 most important papers that "How Democracies Die" itself cites, focused on comparative politics and democratic theory. Which ones appear repeatedly in the bibliographies of papers that cite it?
```
### Import the most relevant results
When you have identified the papers you want to add to your library.
```text wrap theme={null}
Import the first five papers from this list into my library. Create a folder called "Democratic Backsliding" and place them there.
```
### Find papers on the same topic that did not cite the anchor
When you want to make sure you are not missing work that developed independently.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search for papers on democratic backsliding and competitive authoritarianism published between 2015 and 2022 that did not cite Levitsky and Ziblatt. I want to know what the parallel literature looks like.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Providing a DOI produces more accurate results than a title alone. For papers with common titles or multiple editions, the DOI is the only reliable anchor. Asking for "most cited" returns papers with the highest citation counts, which tends toward reviews and meta-analyses rather than empirical work. If you want empirical responses, say so. Specifying "peer-reviewed articles" filters out book chapters, working papers, and preprints, which may or may not be what you want depending on your field.
### Check the output against your own understanding
The citation graph Anara searches is the OpenAlex index. It is comprehensive but not exhaustive: some journals are indexed later than others, and very recent papers may lack citation data. If a paper you know exists does not appear, look it up directly by DOI. The "related work" graph type returns papers in the same conceptual neighborhood rather than direct citations, and relevance varies by how the indexing algorithm defines relatedness in your field.
### What to do with the output next
Review the abstract of every paper in the list before importing. Citation count is a useful first filter but a paper cited 300 times may be cited primarily as a historical reference, not because its methods are still in use. Import the papers most relevant to your argument, then use the cross-library-search or compare-papers workflow to understand how the ones you have just imported relate to papers you already have. The citation graph is the starting point for building a systematic bibliography; the library workflows are how you work through what you have gathered.
# Check whether what you've written is supported by your sources
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/claim-verification
Paste a sentence or paragraph from your own draft and Anara searches your library for the specific passages that back each claim. It returns the cited text alongside what you wrote and tells you directly when nothing supports a claim. For when you need to ground your writing before it leaves your hands.
## 1. Describe the task
You wrote a sentence. You believe a paper in your library says that. But you read the paper three months ago, and the memory you have of the argument might be a paraphrase, a simplification, or something you projected from another source.
Anara can check this for you. Paste the claim and ask whether it is supported by your library. Anara searches for passages that confirm, complicate, or contradict what you wrote, returns the specific text with clickable citations, and tells you directly if nothing in your library backs it up.
Here a PhD student in political philosophy is writing a dissertation chapter on mandatory vaccination policy, has a library of 140 papers, and has just written a paragraph she wants to defend.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is a paragraph I wrote for my dissertation chapter. Check it against my library and tell me which claims are supported by which papers, and whether anything is unsupported. Show me the exact passages that back each claim, and mark anything you can't confirm as "not found."
"Public health authorities have increasingly framed mandatory vaccination as a matter of procedural legitimacy rather than individual liberty. The shift began around 2015 and has accelerated since 2021, with scholars arguing that democratic accountability, not personal choice, is the more defensible standard for policy evaluation."
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The library or folder that contains the papers you want to check against.
**Optional context**
* Notes or highlights you've made on the papers you cite most. Anara weights those passages more heavily.
* The chapter or section the paragraph belongs to. Helps Anara understand which arguments in the paper are load-bearing for your context.
## 3. What Anara creates
A claim-by-claim verification list. Each claim gets a verdict (supported, partially supported, or not found) and the exact passage from your library that grounds it, with a clickable citation badge to the source PDF. The output is the audit you run before you submit. Where Anara finds no support, that's a signal to cite differently or revise the claim.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Drill into the matched passage
When a claim is confirmed, check the surrounding context before you cite it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Show me the full passage from that paper with the two paragraphs before and after, so I can see how the author actually frames the argument.
```
### Rewrite to match the evidence
When a claim is only partially supported, adjust the wording to stay inside what the sources actually say.
```text wrap theme={null}
Rewrite my second sentence to stay within what the three matched papers actually claim. Don't add anything that isn't supported.
```
### Flag what's missing
When you want a working list of what you still need to find or cite.
```text wrap theme={null}
List every claim in this paragraph that needs an additional citation I don't have yet. Suggest which databases to search for each gap.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Paste your text verbatim. Paraphrasing changes the match. Anara searches your library using the exact wording, and a rephrased version of your claim returns different passages. Ask for "supported, partially supported, or not found" explicitly. Without that instruction Anara returns a narrative summary, which is less useful than a per-claim verdict when you're auditing a paragraph.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara matches on semantic similarity. A passage can support the claim exactly, or it can be adjacent without actually backing it. Read the matched passage yourself before you cite. Partial matches aren't failures. They're signals to sharpen the wording. When in doubt, ask Anara to explain why the match qualifies, and it will walk you through the argument the paper makes.
### What to do with the output next
Treat the verification list as a citation audit. For every "not found" claim, either revise the sentence or go find the paper. For every "partially supported" claim, adjust the wording to match the evidence. Once the audit is clean, move to the citation workflow to generate formatted references for every cited passage.
# Verify a clinical claim against its source study before it goes to review
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/clinical-fact-check
Paste a slide headline, footnote, or written claim and attach the source study. Anara checks whether the wording accurately reflects the study methodology and findings, flags anything that overstates the evidence, and suggests revised language. For medical writers and clinical professionals who need every claim to survive regulatory review.
## 1. Describe the task
The headline has been written and rewritten four times. The phrasing has drifted from the underlying study methodology in ways that are hard to see without going back to the source. MLR review will catch it. Better to catch it first.
Anara reads the claim and the source study together and assesses whether the wording is accurate and defensible given what the study reports. It checks the methodology, the primary and secondary endpoints, and the statistical framing, then tells you where the language holds and where it does not.
Here a medical communications consultant is developing a cardiovascular disease slide program for a pharmaceutical client and needs to verify whether a projection model headline accurately reflects a NHANES-based modeling methodology before the slides go into MLR review.
```text wrap theme={null}
I need to verify whether this slide headline is accurate given the underlying study. Attached: the source paper.
Headline: "Comprehensive Risk Factor Control, Led by Intensive LDL-C Lowering, Can Substantially Reduce Projected Recurrent ASCVD Events"
Please assess: Is this headline accurate given the study's methodology and findings? Does it overstate or understate the results? Is "projected" the right framing for a modeling study versus an RCT outcome? Suggest one or two alternative phrasings if the current version has accuracy concerns.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The claim, headline, or footnote you want to verify, pasted directly into the chat.
* The source study as a PDF upload or from your library.
**Optional context**
* The regulatory context: MLR review, FDA submission, payer dossier, advisory board. Anara calibrates the precision of its assessment to the standard you need to meet.
* A description of the data visualization the headline accompanies. For projection model outputs, knowing what the chart shows helps Anara assess whether the headline accurately reflects what the visual communicates.
## 3. What Anara creates
An accuracy assessment with a verdict (accurate, overstated, understated, or potentially misleading), the specific passage from the study that grounds it, and revised phrasing where the original does not hold up. Every claim that clears the assessment has a traceable basis in the source. Every claim that does not gets corrected before a reviewer sees it.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Check the footnote attribution
When the headline is accurate but the footnote methodology needs verification.
```text wrap theme={null}
The footnote reads: "Projections derived by applying age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-specific prevalence estimates from NHANES 2013-2018 to a cardiovascular risk reduction model." Check this attribution against the paper's methods section. Is the modeling approach described correctly? Are the NHANES years accurate?
```
### Verify the statistical framing
When you want to confirm that the specific numbers in the body copy match the reported results.
```text wrap theme={null}
The slide body copy states that risk factor control could reduce recurrent ASCVD events by 34% in the high-risk population. Check this figure against the paper's Table 3 results. Does the percentage match? Is "high-risk population" the correct descriptor for the subgroup analyzed?
```
### Check a full set of claims across a slide deck
When the accuracy review needs to extend beyond a single headline.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have attached the full slide deck and the three source studies it references. For each slide that makes a quantitative clinical claim, check the claim against the study it cites. Flag anything that does not match and anything where the citation is missing. Return your findings as a list organized by slide number.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Paste the claim verbatim. The accuracy check depends on the exact wording, not a paraphrase of it. Asking "is this generally right" produces a softer assessment than asking "is the word 'projected' accurate for a modeling study?" Naming the regulatory context (MLR, FDA advisory committee, payer value dossier) tells Anara the precision standard to apply.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reads the source study you upload. It does not have access to internal briefing documents, unpublished data, or the specific guidance your MLR team applies. If Anara's assessment conflicts with a prior internal red line, trust the prior guidance. For claims where the methodology is unusual or multiple statistical framings are defensible, bring the assessment to your clinical or statistical team.
### What to do with the output next
Fix every flagged claim before submitting to review. Where Anara suggests revised phrasing, evaluate the suggestions against the voice requirements for the specific deliverable: an advisory board slide sounds different from a payer value dossier. Run the revised version through the same check to confirm the new wording is accurate before the file moves forward. For high-volume slide programs, use the full-deck follow-up prompt to run a systematic accuracy sweep rather than checking claims one at a time.
# Find the current evidence and guidelines for a complex clinical presentation
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/clinical-guidelines
Describe a specific patient presentation or clinical decision point and Anara searches PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and your uploaded library for current guidelines, trial data, and systematic review evidence. Returns a structured evidence summary with source citations. For clinicians who need depth on the evidence behind a recommendation, not just the recommendation itself.
## 1. Describe the task
The guidelines name the treatment. You need to know why, what the evidence looks like across different patient populations, and whether the recommendation holds for the specific presentation in front of you.
Anara searches across PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and your uploaded library, then returns a structured evidence summary: what the current guidelines recommend, what the trial data supporting those recommendations looks like, where the evidence is strong and where it relies on expert consensus, and what recent studies may complicate the picture. Every claim cites the source it came from.
This is not a point-of-care drug calculator and it is not a dosing reference. It is the evidence depth behind a guideline recommendation, for situations where "the guidelines say so" is not enough and you need to understand what the primary literature actually shows. For rapid bedside lookup of standard dosing or drug interactions, purpose-built clinical references are faster. For understanding the evidence underpinning a recommendation before a complex case or a presentation, this is where Anara adds something distinct.
Here a hospitalist physician in the Philippines is preparing for a ward round involving a complex comorbid presentation and needs the current evidence on antibiotic selection for a resistant organism.
```text wrap theme={null}
My patient is a 62-year-old female with type 2 diabetes and stage 3 CKD presenting with a urinary tract infection. The urine culture shows Staphylococcus haemolyticus resistant to ampicillin, oxacillin, tetracycline, and penicillin G.
Search PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov for:
1. Current guideline recommendations for antibiotic selection in resistant S. haemolyticus UTI in a patient with CKD
2. Any RCTs or cohort studies on antibiotic outcomes in this organism and resistance profile
3. Whether any guidelines specifically address dose adjustment for the recommended antibiotic in stage 3 CKD
Cite every guideline or study you reference. Flag any recommendation where the evidence is based on expert consensus rather than trial data.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The prompt carries the clinical question and Anara searches live databases.
**Optional context**
* Papers from your personal library on this condition or organism. Anara searches your library alongside PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov if you have relevant uploads.
* The specific guideline body you want to prioritize (NICE, ADA, IDSA, ESC). Anara targets that organization's publications first.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured evidence summary covering current guideline recommendations, the primary trial data behind those recommendations, and any recent studies that qualify or extend the standard guidance. Every guideline and study is cited with a link to the source. Where the recommendation rests on expert consensus rather than controlled trial data, Anara flags that explicitly. The output is what you review before a ward round or a teaching presentation, not what you consult mid-procedure.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Compare two guidelines on the same condition
When different bodies give different recommendations and you need to understand where and why they diverge.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare the NICE and IDSA recommendations for antibiotic treatment of resistant S. haemolyticus urinary tract infections. Where do they agree, where do they diverge, and what evidence does each cite to support its recommendation?
```
### Find the most recent trial data
When the guidelines are older than the literature warrants and you want to know what has been published since.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search PubMed for randomized controlled trials on antibiotic treatment of Staphylococcus haemolyticus UTI published in the last five years. Focus on studies that include patients with renal impairment. Summarize the primary outcomes and any safety signals.
```
### Identify gaps in the evidence
When you suspect the guideline recommendation extrapolates from a different patient population than the one you are treating.
```text wrap theme={null}
Which aspects of the antibiotic guidance for this case rely on evidence drawn from immunocompetent patients or patients with normal renal function, rather than patients with CKD? Name the gaps explicitly and indicate whether any studies have addressed them.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the specific organism, resistance profile, and patient comorbidities in the prompt. A question about "UTI antibiotic selection" returns general guidance. A question about "S. haemolyticus resistant to ampicillin in a patient with stage 3 CKD" returns targeted evidence. Asking Anara to flag consensus-based recommendations separately from trial-supported ones changes the output from a summary to an evidence map, which is more useful for complex cases. If you want the most recent publications, add "published in the last three years" to the search instruction.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reaches PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov at the time of your query, but its index has a lag of days to weeks for very recently published studies and guidelines. For rapidly evolving infectious disease guidance (new resistance patterns, updated WHO recommendations), verify the cited guideline date and check the relevant organization's website directly for the current version. Clinical decisions remain yours. The evidence summary informs judgment; it does not replace it.
### What to do with the output next
Use the evidence summary as preparation for a case presentation, a teaching round, or a clinical protocol review. Where the summary identifies a gap between guideline recommendations and the evidence base for your patient's specific presentation, that gap is worth documenting and raising in a formal clinical discussion. For ongoing complex cases, save the evidence summary as a note in Anara and update it when new papers are published.
# Draft a regulatory-compatible slide headline from clinical study data
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/clinical-slide-callout
Paste a draft slide headline and the underlying clinical study. Anara checks whether the wording accurately reflects the study design, the patient population, and the reported result, then suggests revised options that stay defensible. For medical writers and medical affairs professionals who need headlines that survive MLR review.
## 1. Describe the task
The data visualization is done. The analysis is clean. The headline still is not right: it either overstates what the study shows or undersells it in ways that lose the clinical story. You have iterated on it four times and the language still has not landed.
Anara can run the accuracy check for you. Paste the draft headline and tell Anara which study it is supposed to reflect. Anara reads the study, checks the headline against what the data actually shows, and tells you whether the wording is defensible. It also suggests tighter alternatives when the draft overstates the finding or leaves ambiguity that a reviewer will catch.
Here a medical communications writer at a pharma agency has a cardiovascular slide program in development and is working on the headline for a projection model slide on MACE event reduction through intensive LDL-C lowering.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am drafting a headline for a slide about MACE event reduction in patients with prior atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The underlying study is already in my library. Here is my current draft headline:
"Comprehensive Risk Factor Control, Led by Intensive LDL-C Lowering, Can Substantially Reduce Projected CV Events"
Check this wording against the study in my library. Tell me:
- Is "comprehensive risk factor control" accurate given what the study modeled?
- Is "substantially reduce" supported by the magnitude of the effect reported?
- Does "projected CV events" accurately reflect the study design (a modeling study, not a clinical trial)?
If anything is inaccurate or overstated, suggest revised wording that is accurate and still communicates the clinical story.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The source study in your library.
* Your current draft headline or callout.
**Optional context**
* The study design type (RCT, modeling study, observational). Naming it helps Anara flag any mismatch between how the data was generated and how the headline describes it.
* The intended slide context: whether the headline accompanies a Kaplan-Meier curve, a forest plot, a projection model, or raw tabular data. Different visualization types support different claim strengths.
## 3. What Anara creates
A line-by-line accuracy assessment of your draft headline, with a reference to the specific study passage that either supports or contradicts each phrase. Where the headline is accurate, Anara confirms it. Where it overstates, simplifies, or mischaracterizes the study design, Anara identifies the problem and proposes alternative wording. The output is a working accuracy review, not a final determination: regulatory review remains a human function. Anara checks accuracy against the source; MLR reviewers check accuracy plus regulatory context.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Check the footnote attribution
When the headline passes but the footnote describing the data source needs to be verified.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is the footnote I have drafted for this slide: "Projections derived by applying age-, sex-, and race-specific prevalence estimates from the NHANES 2013-2016 cohort to a standard Markov model."
Check this footnote against the methods section of the study. Is the description of the modeling methodology accurate? Flag any phrase that misrepresents what the paper actually did.
```
### Draft a shorter callout version
When the headline is accurate but too long for the slide format you are working in.
```text wrap theme={null}
The headline we validated is accurate but runs to 17 words. Draft three alternative versions under 12 words that preserve the key clinical claim: intensive LDL-C lowering as the leading driver of projected CV event reduction. All three should be defensible based on the study we checked.
```
### Verify the statistical framing
When a headline includes a percentage or an odds ratio and you want to confirm the number and its framing.
```text wrap theme={null}
The headline I want to use states that intensive LDL-C lowering reduces projected MACE events by 28%. Check the study for: where this figure appears, whether it reflects the primary analysis or a sensitivity analysis, and whether "reduces" is the right verb given how the calculation was done.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Break the headline into its components in the prompt. "Check this headline" returns a general assessment. "Check whether 'substantially reduce' is supported by the reported effect size" returns a precise verdict on the phrase the MLR reviewer will flag. For modeling studies, name the study design type explicitly: the claim "substantially reduces CV events" means something different for a Markov model projection than for an RCT, and Anara catches that distinction if you name it.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara checks wording against the study data, but it does not know the full regulatory and promotional context that your MLR team carries. A headline that is statistically accurate may still be inappropriate under promotional guidelines for a specific drug in a specific market. Anara's accuracy verdict is the first gate, not the last one. Use it to correct outright misrepresentations before MLR review, not as a substitute for that review.
### What to do with the output next
Use the accuracy review to revise the headline before submitting to your MLR team. A pre-checked headline with source passages cited produces a faster review: reviewers focus on regulatory appropriateness rather than fact-checking. For recurring slide programs, save the accuracy review as a note alongside the slide: the documentation trail is useful when the slide is repurposed or updated after a follow-on study publishes.
# Pull current clinical trial data for a drug target or condition
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/clinical-trials-search
Name a drug, target, or condition and Anara searches ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and bioRxiv simultaneously, then summarizes what is in development, what has reported, and what is worth paying attention to. Covers trial phases, enrollment status, sponsors, and published findings. No files to upload.
## 1. Describe the task
A drug program moves fast. A trial you followed six months ago has a new cohort, a competitor announced Phase 2 results last week, and the ClinicalTrials.gov registry has been updated twice since you last checked. Assembling the current picture manually means switching between databases, chasing NCT numbers, and cross-referencing registry entries against published abstracts.
Anara searches ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and bioRxiv simultaneously from a single prompt. It returns what is currently registered, what phase each trial is in, which sponsors are active, and where published data is available. For targets or conditions with substantial trial activity, it identifies what the evidence landscape looks like across phases: which efficacy signals are established, which are still recruiting, and which are ongoing without published results.
The output is a structured picture of the field as it currently stands, grounded in live registry data and indexed literature, not in a review article published eighteen months ago.
Here a clinical pharmacologist at a specialty pharmaceutical company is assessing the competitive landscape for a new indication of an existing drug before a portfolio decision meeting.
```text wrap theme={null}
Pull the latest clinical trial data on GLP-1 receptor agonists for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis from PubMed, bioRxiv, and ClinicalTrials.gov. I want to know: which trials are currently recruiting or active, what phases they are in, who the sponsors are, what the primary endpoints are, and where published efficacy or safety data already exists. Summarize what is worth paying attention to and flag any trials that have reported preliminary results in the last 12 months.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The prompt carries it. Anara searches the live databases directly.
**Optional context**
* A date range if you want only recent activity. "Trials registered or updated since January 2024" focuses the search.
* Specific phases if you care only about late-stage evidence. "Phase 2 and Phase 3 only" removes early-stage exploratory studies.
* A comparator or mechanism of action if you are tracking a specific class rather than a single target.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured summary organized by the current state of the evidence: trials with published results, trials in active stages, trials in early or planning phases. Each entry includes the NCT identifier, sponsor, current status, phase, primary endpoint, and a link to the ClinicalTrials.gov record. Where PubMed or bioRxiv has a published paper tied to the trial, Anara links both. The output is what you read before a portfolio decision, a competitive review, or a due diligence call to understand what the field has tested and what it has not.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Go deeper on one trial
When the summary surfaces a trial that needs a closer read.
```text wrap theme={null}
Go deeper on the semaglutide NASH trial that appeared in the results. What were the primary and secondary endpoints as registered? Has anything been published on interim data? Who is running the trial and what is the estimated completion date?
```
### Find the published papers tied to a set of trials
When you want to move from registry data to actual results.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the three Phase 3 trials you identified, find any published papers reporting results in PubMed or bioRxiv. Return the abstracts and flag whether the paper is a primary results paper or a secondary analysis.
```
### Compare trial designs across sponsors
When you want to understand how different programs are approaching the same indication.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare the primary endpoint designs across the four active NASH trials you identified. How are sponsors defining the primary outcome: liver biopsy-confirmed resolution, non-invasive biomarker improvement, or something else? Where do the approaches diverge?
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name all three sources explicitly: ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and bioRxiv. Without naming them, Anara may default to the general academic search index, which covers PubMed but may not prioritize registry data. For narrow targets with few trials, the three-source search is fast. For large indications with hundreds of trials (oncology, cardiovascular, diabetes), add filters: phase, status, date range. "Active or recruiting trials" removes completed studies you probably already know about. "Sponsored by \[company]" focuses the search on a specific competitor program.
### Check the output against your own understanding
ClinicalTrials.gov data is as current as the sponsor's last update to the registry. Sponsors are required to update, but some trial records lag weeks or months behind actual study progress. If a trial looks inactive but you have seen recent conference data from it, check the primary endpoint date on the registry directly. For PubMed coverage: Anara retrieves abstracts and metadata for most indexed papers, but full text is only available when the paper is open access. Anara will tell you when a paper is available for import versus abstract-only.
### What to do with the output next
Import the published papers that look most relevant to your analysis. Once they are in your library, you can interrogate them in detail: extract efficacy data, compare endpoint definitions, or check whether the safety signals in one trial appear in another. For ongoing monitoring, save the initial summary as a note and refresh it periodically: paste the note into a new chat, ask Anara to check for updates since the note's date, and update the note with new developments. This gives you a living competitive intelligence document rather than a one-off snapshot.
# Compare how two papers treat the same research question
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/compare-papers
Name two papers and a specific question or concept. Anara searches each one separately and shows you exactly where they agree, where they diverge, and what each author takes for granted that the other does not. Citations are per-paper, so you see which argument belongs to whom. For building the critical comparison at the center of your review.
## 1. Describe the task
You have read both papers. You know they disagree. What you do not have yet is the precise quote-by-quote account of where the disagreement is and what it is actually about.
Anara searches each paper separately and returns a side-by-side comparison with per-paper citations. The output names where the papers converge and where they pull apart, and it shows you the specific text that grounds the comparison rather than a blended summary that dissolves the distinction you are trying to draw. The methodology is per-paper retrieval, not a synthesis that merges both voices into one.
Here a graduate student in educational psychology has two foundational papers on self-regulated learning and wants to understand how Zimmerman and Pintrich frame the role of metacognition differently before writing her literature review chapter.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have two papers on self-regulated learning by Zimmerman (2000) and Pintrich (2000). Both are in my library.
Compare how each paper treats the role of metacognition in self-regulation. I want the comparison to cover:
- How each author defines metacognition
- Whether metacognition is treated as a prerequisite for self-regulation or as a component of it
- What evidence each author relies on (theoretical, empirical, or both)
Show me the specific passages from each paper that ground the comparison. Do not blend their arguments into one summary. I need to see what each author actually claims, attributed separately.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Both papers in your library. Name them explicitly in your prompt so Anara runs a separate search pass on each.
**Optional context**
* The specific concept or question you want to trace across both papers. A focused dimension produces a sharper comparison than "compare these two papers."
* A third paper you suspect mediates the disagreement. Anara can bring it in as a triangulating source once the core comparison is done.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured comparison with a section for each paper, followed by a synthesis section that names where they converge and where they do not. Each section cites the specific passages from that paper, so the comparison stays attributed rather than blended. The output is the critical reading you would write yourself after an afternoon with both papers, condensed into a form you can verify and build on. What it is for: turning a felt sense of disagreement into a citable, quotable account of where the gap is.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Find a third paper that resolves the tension
When the comparison surfaces a genuine theoretical disagreement you want to trace forward.
```text wrap theme={null}
The Zimmerman and Pintrich papers disagree on whether metacognition precedes or constitutes self-regulation. Search my library for a third paper that takes a position on this specific question. If you find one, tell me which side it falls on and what argument it makes.
```
### Draft the juxtaposition paragraph
When the comparison is complete and you are ready to write the section.
```text wrap theme={null}
Draft a 200-word paragraph juxtaposing Zimmerman and Pintrich on the role of metacognition. Use the specific passages you identified in the comparison. Cite each paper inline. The paragraph should end by naming what is at stake in the disagreement for my argument about metacognitive training in classroom contexts.
```
### Check a shared assumption they both carry
When you want to find the unstated common ground beneath the surface disagreement.
```text wrap theme={null}
Both papers seem to assume that metacognition is consciously accessible to the learner. Is this assumption made explicit in either paper, or does it remain implicit? Find any passages where either author qualifies this assumption or addresses learners who may not have metacognitive awareness.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the specific dimension of comparison rather than asking Anara to compare the papers generally. "Compare these two papers" returns an overview. "Compare how each paper defines metacognition and what role it plays in the self-regulation model" returns a comparison you can cite. The more specific the question, the more useful the per-paper attribution. If you are comparing three or four papers instead of two, name all of them and ask for a per-paper section for each, then a synthesis at the end.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara runs separate search passes on each paper and cites them separately, but the synthesis section at the end makes interpretive judgments about what the difference amounts to. Read that section critically. If the characterization of the gap does not match your reading of the papers, push back: tell Anara what you think the actual difference is and ask it to find the passages that ground your version. Your domain knowledge of the field shapes how the disagreement is framed, and that framing is yours to own.
### What to do with the output next
Use the comparison output as the backbone of your critical literature review section. The per-paper passages give you the citations you need. The synthesis section gives you the structure. Write the paragraph yourself using those materials, rather than lifting the synthesis verbatim: the voice of the critical reading should be yours, grounded in the passages Anara surfaced. For papers where the comparison turns up a shared unstated assumption, the third follow-up prompt is the most productive next move.
# Connect your Mendeley library and start chatting with your papers
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/connector-mendeley
Connect Mendeley and your entire reference library becomes searchable in Anara alongside any PDFs you have uploaded. Ask questions that draw on your full collection at once. For biologists, chemists, and clinical researchers who manage their references in Mendeley and want to start working with their papers without re-uploading them one by one.
## 1. Describe the task
Your references are in Mendeley. You have spent months building that library: tagging papers, organizing collections, annotating what matters. Uploading them again to another tool means either a one-by-one drag session or abandoning the organization you already have.
Connecting Mendeley to Anara brings your existing library into scope without the upload. You connect once via your Mendeley account, select the collection you want to work with, approve the import, and the papers are searchable in Anara alongside anything else you upload directly. From there, you can ask questions across the whole collection, generate citations, draft synthesis sections, and verify claims against your own papers, all using the same library you already maintain.
One important characteristic of the sync: it is a snapshot taken at the time of connection, not a live feed. If you add new papers to Mendeley after syncing, you need to reimport to bring those papers into Anara. Keeping this in mind prevents the common situation of asking Anara about a paper that is in Mendeley but was added after the last sync.
Here a clinical researcher in molecular biology has three years of papers organized in Mendeley collections by protein target and needs to start synthesizing across them without rebuilding the organization from scratch.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have just connected my Mendeley library. My collection "CFTR Channel Function" contains thirty-two papers I have been collecting since my PhD program began.
Search across this collection and answer: what is the current state of the mechanistic evidence on how CFTR channel gating is regulated by phosphorylation? Specifically, which papers in my collection address the role of the R domain, and what are the main points of agreement and disagreement across those studies?
Cite the specific papers and passages for every claim. If any claim requires a paper not in my collection, tell me rather than filling the gap from your general knowledge.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A connected Mendeley account. Connect Mendeley from the Anara integrations settings before running the prompt.
**Optional context**
* The specific Mendeley collection to import. If you have multiple collections, naming one scopes the import to that subset rather than your full library.
* Papers you have uploaded directly to Anara that overlap with your Mendeley collection. Anara searches both sources together without duplication.
## 3. What Anara creates
Access to your Mendeley collection as a searchable library in Anara, plus an answer to the first question you ask across it. After the initial import you work with the collection the same way you would with papers you uploaded directly: targeted questions, cross-paper synthesis, citation generation, claim verification, note creation. The import is a one-time step that makes every subsequent workflow available against your existing reference collection.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Generate APA citations for a subset of the collection
When you need a reference list from the papers you are working with.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate APA 7 citations for all papers in my collection that are referenced in the synthesis you just produced. Format as a numbered reference list.
```
### Sync in newly added papers
When you have added papers to Mendeley after the initial import.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have added twelve new papers to my Mendeley "CFTR Channel Function" collection since the last import. Re-import the collection so Anara has the current version. Then tell me which of the new papers are most relevant to the question of R domain phosphorylation.
```
### Search across two collections at once
When your research question spans multiple Mendeley collections.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have now imported both my "CFTR Channel Function" collection and my "ABC Transporter Mechanisms" collection. Search across both and identify the papers that discuss shared structural features relevant to both CFTR and other ABC transporters. I am preparing for a comparison section of my dissertation.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
After importing a collection, scope your first question to that collection explicitly: "in my Mendeley collection" or "in the papers you just imported." Without this instruction, Anara may search your broader library including directly uploaded papers and return results that blur the two sources. For targeted synthesis across a specific Mendeley collection, folder-scoped search produces more consistent results than a whole-library query. If the import covered a very large collection (more than 200 papers), breaking your first question into sub-topics produces better coverage than one broad question.
### Check the output against your own understanding
The Mendeley connector imports paper metadata and any PDFs that are attached to your Mendeley records. Papers in your Mendeley library that do not have attached PDFs will have their metadata available but will not have full-text passage retrieval. This means a citation can appear in the search results with abstract-level information but cannot provide a clicked-through passage citation. For tiles that depend on passage-level verification (claim checking, appraisal table filling), the full-text PDF needs to be available in the Mendeley record or uploaded separately to Anara.
### What to do with the output next
Once the collection is imported and your first synthesis session is complete, save the results as a note in Anara with the collection name and date in the title. When you add new papers to Mendeley, reimport before your next session so the library stays current. For ongoing projects where the Mendeley collection grows regularly, a reimport at the start of each major writing session ensures Anara is working from your current library rather than a stale snapshot.
# Search your Notion workspace alongside your research library in one chat
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/connector-notion
Connect Notion and your pages, databases, and notes become searchable alongside your uploaded papers and documents. Ask questions that draw on both at once. For researchers and knowledge workers who keep their notes, project context, and frameworks in Notion and want to cross-reference them against their document library without switching tools.
## 1. Describe the task
Your research papers are in Anara. Your working notes, project context, and running synthesis are in Notion. The question you are asking right now sits across both. You need to know what your Notion database says about a topic and what the papers in your library say about the same topic, and whether they agree.
When you connect Notion, your pages, databases, and notes become searchable in the same chat as your uploaded documents. Ask a question and Anara searches both. Where your Notion notes conflict with what the papers actually say, Anara will tell you. Where they align, you have confirmation grounded in both your own synthesis and the primary literature.
Anara can also write back to Notion with your approval. Draft a summary, add a database entry, or update a page from within the chat. Every write action requires your confirmation before it is applied; nothing changes in your Notion workspace without you seeing it first.
Here a research program manager has connected her Notion workspace, which holds project descriptions, stakeholder notes, and her running evidence synthesis, alongside a library of 80 policy papers and evaluation reports.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have connected my Notion workspace. My "Evidence Synthesis" database has entries for each policy intervention I am tracking. My Anara library has the underlying reports and papers.
Search my Notion "Evidence Synthesis" database for entries related to housing affordability interventions. Then search my Anara library for papers on the same topic. Tell me: where do my Notion synthesis notes align with what the papers say, and where do they conflict or have gaps the papers address but my notes do not?
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A connected Notion workspace. You will be prompted to connect Notion via OAuth if it is not yet linked. The setup takes a few minutes and only needs to happen once.
**Optional context**
* The specific Notion database or page you want searched. Naming it narrows the search and reduces noise from unrelated pages.
* A description of how your Notion workspace is organized: what types of content are in which databases. This helps Anara navigate to the right material rather than searching broadly.
## 3. What Anara creates
A cross-source synthesis of what your Notion notes say and what your library papers say, with citations from both. Where they conflict, Anara cites both passages so you can decide which reflects the more reliable or current evidence.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Add a new entry to your Notion database
When the chat has produced a synthesis you want to save directly to Notion.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the synthesis you just produced on housing affordability interventions, create a new entry in my "Evidence Synthesis" database. Use the standard fields: Policy Type, Evidence Summary, Key Papers, Confidence Level, and Date Added. Set Confidence Level to "Moderate" and today's date for Date Added. Show me what you are about to add and wait for my approval before saving.
```
### Find Notion pages that have not been updated since a paper was published
When you want to identify stale notes.
```text wrap theme={null}
Check my Notion "Evidence Synthesis" entries for any topic where the most recent paper in my Anara library on that topic was published after the Notion entry was last edited. Flag those entries as potentially outdated and tell me which papers may have changed the picture.
```
### Search Notion for a decision or note you cannot find
When you remember writing something but cannot locate it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search my Notion workspace for any notes or pages related to the decision we made about which outcome measures to prioritize for the housing evaluation. I wrote this down somewhere in Q1 but I cannot find it. Return any pages that look relevant.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the specific Notion database or page when you know it. "Search my Notion workspace" searches broadly. "Search my Notion Evidence Synthesis database" is targeted. For write actions, include what you want the entry to say: Anara shows you the proposed content before applying it. For the cross-reference use case, ask specifically for "where they conflict" if you want the comparison rather than a summary of each source.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara searches Notion via keyword. If you know a page covers a topic but used different terminology, search by name or paste its content into the chat. For write actions, read the proposed content carefully before approving: once confirmed, changes to Notion are live. Anara writes from what you told it in the session; it does not know the full context of your workspace unless you have described it.
### What to do with the output next
Use the cross-reference output to identify Notion entries due for an update. Set a recurring session opener: "Check my \[database name] entries against my library for any topic where the library has papers published more recently than the Notion entry was last updated." For large workspaces, add a brief description of your Notion organization to a note in Anara so you do not re-explain it each session.
# Research with your organization's documents from OneDrive or SharePoint in Anara
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/connector-onedrive-sharepoint
Connect OneDrive or SharePoint and your institutional documents become searchable in Anara alongside your uploaded papers. Field manuals, regulatory guidance, internal reports, and product specifications are available in the same conversation as your research library. For enterprise researchers and consultants whose primary document repository lives in Microsoft systems.
## 1. Describe the task
The documents you need to answer a question are in three places. Some are in your Anara library. Some are on SharePoint where the team stores regulatory guidance and internal standards. Some are in OneDrive from when you worked offline. Every question that needs all three requires switching tools, re-uploading, or answering from incomplete information.
When OneDrive or SharePoint is connected, your organizational documents are searchable in Anara alongside everything else you have uploaded. One question reaches across your personal library and your institutional repository. You do not need to upload the same document twice.
Here a regulatory affairs consultant is advising a client on a medical device EU MDR submission and needs to search across the client's SharePoint site (which has the existing technical documentation and prior GSPR responses) alongside research papers in her Anara library.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have connected my client's SharePoint site. The relevant folder is "MDR Documentation > Technical Files > [Device Name]." It contains the device description, existing risk management file, and prior GSPR responses from the 2022 submission.
I need to know: which GSPR requirements under EU MDR 2017/745 are covered by the existing technical documentation, and which requirements either have no corresponding document or have documents that were last updated before the 2024 MDCG guidance on clinical evidence? Search across the SharePoint folder and my Anara library for the MDCG guidance documents I uploaded.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A connected OneDrive or SharePoint account. If it is not yet connected, Anara will guide you through the OAuth connection when you ask.
* The specific folder or site you want to search, or a description of what the repository contains.
**Optional context**
* Your research question. Being specific about what you need from the organizational documents versus what you need from your Anara library helps Anara allocate the search appropriately.
* A description of the document structure in the SharePoint site or OneDrive folder, if the naming conventions are not self-explanatory.
## 3. What Anara creates
Answers grounded in both your connected organizational repository and your Anara library, with citations to the specific documents in each source. The search covers your SharePoint or OneDrive documents without requiring you to download and re-upload them first. Documents in your connected repository remain in their original location. Anara reads but does not modify them.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Find a specific document in the SharePoint site
When you know a document exists in the repository but cannot locate it by folder structure.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search the connected SharePoint site for any document that contains the phrase "worst-case risk scenario" in the context of residual risk for class IIb devices. Return the document name, folder location, and the relevant passage.
```
### Compare an internal document to a new external standard
When you need to assess whether your organizational documentation meets current requirements.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have uploaded the new ISO 14971:2019 amendment guidance. Compare the risk management approach described in our internal risk management SOP from SharePoint to the requirements in this new guidance. Identify any gaps where our SOP does not address an updated requirement.
```
### Search across both sources in one question
When the answer requires combining internal and external information.
```text wrap theme={null}
Our internal clinical evaluation protocol is in the SharePoint Technical Files folder. I also have the MDCG 2020-13 clinical evidence guidance uploaded to my Anara library. Does our internal protocol meet all the requirements in the MDCG guidance? Flag any requirement from the guidance that is not addressed by the protocol.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the folder or SharePoint site explicitly when you first connect it. The connector search uses keyword matching on the SharePoint or OneDrive content index. Your organization's document naming conventions are your most effective search terms: "GSPR response," "risk management file," and "instructions for use" will find documents faster than a generic topic description.
### Check the output against your own understanding
OneDrive and SharePoint connectors are read-only. Anara cannot create, edit, or delete files in your connected repository. Documents with restricted permissions are not accessible even with the connector active. The connector search is keyword-based, not semantic: it finds documents you can name specifically better than documents you can only describe by concept. Combine a keyword search for the document name with a follow-up request to read the retrieved document for concept-based questions.
### What to do with the output next
Set up the SharePoint or OneDrive connection at the start of a project and keep it active throughout. Reference the connected repository by folder name in your prompts to direct Anara to the right location. When a project concludes, disconnect the integration from your Anara settings. Documents you uploaded separately to your Anara library are unaffected by connecting or disconnecting organizational repositories.
# Find which papers in your library support a specific argument
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/cross-library-search
Ask a question addressed to your whole library and Anara searches every paper you have uploaded, returning the specific passages that support, complicate, or contradict the argument you are building. You see which papers matter and exactly what they say. For when you need to know what your library actually has before you write.
## 1. Describe the task
You have a library and a claim you are developing, but you do not know which papers to reach for. The triage is the problem: fifty files, two hundred files, and the one you need is somewhere in there.
Anara can do the search across all of them. Ask which papers support a specific argument, discuss a particular concept, or take a position on a methodological question. Anara searches your entire library, returns the specific passages with clickable citations, and tells you where papers agree and where they pull in different directions. You do not need to open files or remember what you uploaded.
Here a PhD student in political sociology has a library of 180 papers on institutional responses to student activism and wants to know which ones argue that administrative leadership shapes student experience through indirect structural mechanisms.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am writing a chapter on how administrative leadership shapes student experience in higher education. My argument is that administrators influence students primarily through indirect structural mechanisms rather than direct interaction.
Search my library and tell me: which papers argue for or against this claim? I want the specific passages, not general summaries. If any papers distinguish between direct and indirect mechanisms explicitly, flag those first. If you find papers that complicate or contradict the argument, include them too.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your library, or a specific folder within it that covers the topic you are researching.
**Optional context**
* A rough argument structure or thesis statement, so Anara can search for supporting and opposing evidence in one pass.
* Any papers you know are relevant. Naming them helps Anara prioritize coverage.
## 3. What Anara creates
A ranked list of papers with the specific passages most relevant to your argument, each passage linked to its source with a clickable citation. Anara groups results by those that support the argument, those that complicate it, and those that contradict it. The output is a literature triage: you know what you have, what load-bearing work each paper can do, and where your library has gaps before you write a word.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Drill into the strongest match
When a paper comes up and you want to understand what it actually argues before you cite it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Pull out the full argument from the Tudge et al. paper on indirect leadership mechanisms. Show me the surrounding context for that passage, not just the matched excerpt. I want to see how they set up the claim before I use it.
```
### Find where two papers diverge
When you want to use a tension in the literature as the spine of your argument.
```text wrap theme={null}
You found three papers that all mention structural mechanisms, but I noticed Branson and Kim seem to disagree on what counts as indirect. Find the specific passages where they frame the concept differently and show me the contrast side by side.
```
### Draft a paragraph from the top results
When the triage is done and you are ready to write.
```text wrap theme={null}
Using the four papers you flagged as most supportive, draft a 200-word paragraph that synthesizes their position on indirect administrative mechanisms. Cite each paper inline with the specific passage you are drawing from. Do not add anything not in my library.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Phrase your question as an argument, not a topic. "Which papers discuss leadership" returns a broad set. "Which papers argue that leadership operates through structural mechanisms rather than direct interaction" returns papers that actually take a position. The more specific the claim, the sharper the triage. If you want keyword-level precision (an exact term, a specific author name, a methodology label), say so: "search for the term 'indirect mechanism' as it appears in my library" runs a keyword pass that semantic search alone might miss.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara retrieves passages by semantic similarity. A passage can be genuinely relevant, or it can be adjacent without actually advancing your argument. Read the matched passages before you build on them. If a paper shows up that you know contradicts your reading of it, that is worth investigating: either the passage is being read out of context, or your memory of the paper is incomplete. Both outcomes are useful. Ask Anara to show more context around any passage that surprises you.
### What to do with the output next
Treat the triage as a first cut, not a final bibliography. Papers that came up as supportive should be read in full before you cite them. Papers that came up as contradicting your argument are often more valuable than the supporting ones: they are the conversation you need to engage with. Once the triage is clean, move to the literature review drafting workflow to turn the mapped papers into a written section with inline citations.
# Prepare for your thesis defense: arguments, gaps, and likely questions
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/defense-prep
Upload your proposal or draft chapter and ask Anara to identify your three strongest points, the areas most likely to draw committee questions, and specific lines of inquiry that follow from your methodology and claims. For PhD students who need to walk into the defense room knowing where their argument is strongest and where it is most exposed.
## 1. Describe the task
The defense is in two weeks. You know your material but not which version of it the committee will interrogate. The questions that derail a defense follow directly from the methodology, the scope, the theoretical choices, and the gaps your argument leaves unaddressed.
Anara reads your proposal or draft chapter and maps the lines of inquiry that follow from it. It looks at what your argument claims, what your methodology can and cannot support, and where members from adjacent fields are most likely to push. The output is an analysis of the pressure points in your argument, not a prediction of what your committee will ask.
Here a candidacy exam candidate in educational leadership is presenting a dissertation proposal on self-regulation in Alberta classrooms and wants to anticipate the methodological challenges a committee of four faculty members is likely to raise.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am preparing for my dissertation proposal defense in two weeks. My proposal is attached. Please do the following:
First, identify the three strongest elements of my argument that I should be able to defend confidently and explain why each is well-supported.
Second, identify the three areas where my methodology or theoretical framework is most vulnerable to scrutiny. For each one, tell me what the specific concern is and what a committee member from an adjacent field might ask.
Third, generate five likely committee questions based directly on the claims and design choices in my proposal. For each question, draft a one-paragraph answer I could give, grounded in the proposal itself and citing the specific section that supports it.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your dissertation proposal, draft chapter, or candidacy exam paper as a PDF or from your library.
**Optional context**
* The composition of your committee, if known. Knowing that one member works in quantitative methods and another in policy allows Anara to weight its analysis toward the angles each is likely to bring.
* Any written feedback your supervisor has already shared. Known concerns are more important to prepare for than inferred ones.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured defense preparation document covering your argument's strong points, its vulnerabilities, and anticipated questions with drafted responses. Strong points give you anchors to return to when a question goes sideways. Vulnerabilities tell you where to pre-empt criticism by acknowledging limitations yourself, which is more effective than defending them under pressure.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Rehearse a specific question
When you want to practice delivering an answer rather than reading one.
```text wrap theme={null}
Ask me the question about my sample size rationale as if you were a committee member who works in quantitative methods. I will answer, and then you tell me what is strong and what is missing from my answer.
```
### Develop a presentation outline
When you need to turn the defense prep into the actual 20-minute talk.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the proposal and the vulnerabilities you identified, draft a 20-minute presentation outline that leads with the strongest elements, addresses the two most likely methodological questions proactively, and ends with the implications and next steps.
```
### Sharpen the limitation section
When you want to acknowledge gaps strategically rather than defensively.
```text wrap theme={null}
Rewrite my limitations section so it acknowledges the three vulnerabilities you identified but frames each one as a deliberate scope decision rather than an oversight. Use the language I would use in a committee setting.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Asking for "likely questions" without specifying the basis produces generic questions that could apply to any dissertation. Anchor the prompt: "questions that follow from my specific choice to use semi-structured interviews rather than surveys" is more useful than "what might they ask about my methodology." If you know your supervisor's main concern, name it. Anara weights the analysis around the concerns you flag.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara identifies vulnerabilities based on what is in your proposal. It does not know your committee members' specific views, their published critiques of similar work, or your department's unwritten norms. The most useful prep session combines Anara's structural analysis with your own knowledge of the people in the room. Use Anara for the formal mapping; bring your own knowledge of the committee.
### What to do with the output next
Work through the anticipated questions with someone who can respond like a committee member, either a peer, your supervisor, or by rehearsing with Anara directly in a mock-questioning follow-up. For each vulnerability Anara identifies, decide whether to address it pre-emptively in your talk or wait to be asked. Pre-empting a known weakness ("One limitation of this design is...") usually reads as methodological maturity. Ignoring it and then being caught by the question reads as oversight.
# Get a full breakdown of a paper's argument, method, and findings
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/document-breakdown
Upload a dense paper and ask Anara to walk through it: what kind of document it is, what each section argues, how the evidence is built, where the reasoning holds, and where it does not. For researchers who need to understand a paper deeply before asking specific questions about it.
## 1. Describe the task
Some papers resist skimming. Theory-heavy texts bury the argument across six chapters. Methods-heavy empirical papers put the interesting claims in the supplementary. You can read the abstract and the conclusion and still not know what the paper is doing.
Anara can walk through the whole paper for you. It reads the document, identifies what kind of work it is, traces the main argument, notes the evidence used to support it, and flags where the reasoning is weaker or the data is thin.
Here a second-year PhD student in science and technology studies is working through a 60-page book chapter on nuclear governance and needs to understand where the author's main argument sits before she can decide whether to cite it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Please give me a comprehensive breakdown of this paper covering: what type of document it is and what it is trying to do, the key sections and what each one argues, the main claim or thesis, the evidence or data the author uses to support it, the conclusions and their implications, and the two or three points where the argument seems weakest or most contested. Write this as flowing prose, not a table.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The paper as a PDF upload or from your library.
**Optional context**
* The context you are reading the paper in: the chapter you are writing, the specific claim you want to evaluate, or the debate you expect this paper to be part of. Anara shapes the breakdown to what you actually need to know.
* Other papers in the same conversation. Anara can compare how this paper handles the same question as a paper you have already discussed.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured prose breakdown covering the paper's type, internal logic, evidence base, and conclusions. It tells you where the argument lives, which sections carry the weight, and where the evidence is thinner than the claims. Use it to decide whether the paper earns a close read or whether a follow-up question on one section is enough.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Ask a targeted question about one section
Once the breakdown surfaces the section that matters most for your work, probe it directly.
```text wrap theme={null}
You said the methodology section is where the argument gets complicated. Walk me through exactly what the author does in that section and why it is contested. Cite the specific passages.
```
### Find where this paper fits the debate
When you need to know how this paper relates to others in your library.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on this breakdown, search my library for papers that take a different position on the same core claim. Where does this paper agree with the others, and where does it diverge?
```
### Turn the breakdown into a formatted summary note
When you want to save the analysis to your workspace for future reference.
```text wrap theme={null}
Save a concise summary of this breakdown as a note in my workspace. Title it with the paper's author and year. Include the main argument in two sentences and a bullet list of the three most important claims I can cite.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Asking for "a summary" produces a shorter output than "a comprehensive breakdown." If you need depth on the methodology or the theoretical framework, name those sections explicitly. You can strip the template prompt down to two or three dimensions if you only need part of the picture. Asking for prose format rather than a table produces something you can read rather than scan.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reads what the paper says. If the author's argument is spread across sections non-linearly, or buried in a footnote, the breakdown may emphasize the explicit structure over the implicit one. If the breakdown does not match your reading, ask Anara to show the specific passage it used. The mismatch may reflect an argument constructed differently than its surface structure suggests, which is itself useful to know before you cite it.
### What to do with the output next
Use the breakdown to identify which sections to read closely before citing. For papers where the argument holds up, ask a targeted follow-up about the specific claim you want to engage with. For papers where the breakdown reveals thin evidence or contested reasoning, use the weakness section as the starting point for the critical engagement your committee will expect. This workflow pairs with the claim-verification tile: once you know what the paper argues, check whether your written claim accurately reflects it.
# Map methodological differences across four or more papers in one session
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/document-comparison-advanced
Name a methodological dimension and a set of papers and Anara compares each paper on that dimension, citing them separately. Returns a per-paper breakdown and a synthesis paragraph identifying where approaches converge, where they diverge, and what each camp assumes. For researchers comparing study designs or analytical frameworks across a literature set.
## 1. Describe the task
You have collected the papers on your topic and now you need to understand the methodological landscape, not the findings. How did different research groups operationalize the same construct? Which papers use longitudinal designs and which use cross-sectional? Where does one camp assume experimental control and another assume naturalistic observation?
These questions are hard to answer by reading papers sequentially because each paper presents its own methodology as self-contained. Anara reads across them simultaneously, holding each paper separately rather than blending them into a unified account. You name the methodological dimension and the papers, and Anara returns a comparison table where each row is a paper, each column is a dimension you specified, and every cell traces to a passage from that paper.
Here a researcher in medical education is comparing a set of twelve cited studies on the transition from preclinical to clinical training, working out which methodological approaches are best represented and which gaps exist.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have a folder of papers on the transition from preclinical classroom learning to clinical training in medical education. Compare all the papers on the following methodological dimensions: study design (observational, experimental, qualitative, mixed), sample characteristics (student level, specialty, country), primary outcome measures, and data collection methods. For each paper, cite the specific passage where the methodology is described. At the end, write a synthesis paragraph identifying which methodological approaches are clustered together and which papers stand alone in their design choices.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The papers you want to compare, in a folder in your library or uploaded to the current chat.
**Optional context**
* The specific dimensions you want compared. Without this, Anara chooses dimensions based on what is most prominent across the papers, which may not match your analytical frame.
* A note if you want the comparison organized toward a specific argument: "I am writing a methods section arguing that observational designs dominate this literature" tells Anara how to weight the synthesis.
## 3. What Anara creates
A per-paper comparison table with citations for each cell, followed by a synthesis paragraph. The table gives you the working surface: each paper's methodological position in one view. The synthesis identifies which approaches cluster, where the literature lacks certain designs, and what methodological assumptions run across multiple papers without being acknowledged. The output is the methodological review section you write before the results, not the findings synthesis you write at the end.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Identify what the dominant design shares as an assumption
When the comparison reveals a methodological cluster you want to interrogate.
```text wrap theme={null}
Four of the papers you identified use cross-sectional survey designs. What methodological assumption do they all appear to share about how students experience the clinical transition? Cite the passages that reveal the assumption, even if the papers never state it explicitly.
```
### Find a paper that uses a different approach
When the comparison reveals a gap you want to fill.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search my library and the academic index for a paper that uses a longitudinal design to study the same transition period. I do not have one in my current set. Find the best candidate.
```
### Draft the methodological limitations section
When the comparison is complete and you need the critical synthesis for your paper.
```text wrap theme={null}
Using the comparison table you produced, draft a 200-word limitations section for a systematic review discussing the methodological heterogeneity in this literature. Name the dominant design, explain why that dominance is a limitation, and suggest what a more balanced literature would include.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Specify the dimensions rather than letting Anara infer them. "Compare the methodological approaches" produces a high-level summary. "Compare study design, sample characteristics, primary outcome measures, and data collection methods" produces a table where each column is directly comparable. If you want the comparison focused on a specific debate in the literature ("compare how each paper handles selection bias"), name that debate explicitly. The more specific the dimension, the more specific the per-paper citations Anara can retrieve.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reads each paper independently and does not synthesize across papers by inferring unstated relationships. If two papers use the same construct but call it by different names, Anara may treat them as different constructs unless you flag the equivalence. Where you notice a cell in the comparison table looks thin ("this paper's methodology description is buried in a footnote"), ask Anara to expand that cell by reading the full methods section of that paper. The comparison is a starting map, not a finished analysis.
### What to do with the output next
Export the comparison table as a note so you can add to it as you read more papers. When a new paper joins the review, run the same comparison prompt against it alone and add the row. This gives you a living table that grows with the project rather than a one-time comparison you have to redo. Pair the methodological comparison with the qualitative synthesis tile when you are ready to move from "how did they study it" to "what did they find."
# Draft the narrative sections of a sustainability report from your source documents
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/esg-narrative
Upload your materiality assessment data, stakeholder survey results, and prior sustainability reports and Anara drafts the narrative sections: materiality rationale, impact category descriptions, and the company's response to material topics. Covers CSRD and GRI double materiality framing. For sustainability consultants and reporting teams working against an annual reporting deadline.
## 1. Describe the task
The data is collected. The materiality assessment is done. What is left is the writing, and sustainability report narrative is dense: each material topic needs a rationale, an impact category, a description of the company's response, and language that will hold up under GRI or CSRD review.
Anara reads your uploaded documents and drafts the narrative sections. Upload your materiality assessment outputs, your stakeholder survey data, the relevant GRI standard, and your prior report for house style reference. Ask Anara to draft the double materiality narrative for your highest-priority topics: what makes each topic material under the impact and financial materiality tests, what the company is doing in response, and how to frame it within the CSRD or GRI structure you are reporting against. It drafts from the documents you provide, not from general knowledge about what sustainability reports usually say.
Here a sustainability reporting consultant is drafting the double materiality chapter for a logistics company's first CSRD-compliant report, working from a completed materiality matrix and five stakeholder engagement summaries.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am drafting the double materiality chapter for a logistics company's CSRD report. I have uploaded the following: the completed materiality matrix with scores for 18 topics, summaries of five stakeholder engagement sessions, GRI 3 Material Topics standard, and last year's sustainability report.
Draft the narrative for the three highest-scoring material topics from the matrix. For each topic: (1) explain why it is material under both impact materiality and financial materiality using the evidence in the stakeholder summaries and matrix scores, (2) describe the company's current response to the topic using information from last year's report where available, and (3) identify where the current response appears weak relative to the stakeholder expectations documented in the engagement summaries. Write at a register appropriate for the published report.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your materiality assessment outputs: the matrix, topic scores, and the stakeholder input that drove the rankings.
* The reporting standard you are working against: GRI 3, CSRD ESRS, or both. Upload the relevant standard sections so Anara frames the narrative correctly.
**Optional context**
* Prior sustainability reports from the company. Anara matches the house style and identifies where the current response narrative has already been established.
* Stakeholder engagement summaries or survey data. These are the evidentiary basis for the impact materiality narrative.
* Peer company reports for benchmark context, if the report includes industry comparison.
## 3. What Anara creates
A per-topic narrative draft covering the materiality rationale, the company's current response, and any gaps Anara identifies between stated commitments and what the stakeholder evidence shows. The draft is the working text your team reviews and integrates into the full report structure.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Draft the materiality process description
When the report requires a section explaining how the materiality assessment was conducted.
```text wrap theme={null}
Using the stakeholder engagement summaries and the methodology described in the matrix, draft a 300-word description of how the double materiality assessment was conducted. Cover the stakeholder groups consulted, the engagement methods used, how impact and financial materiality scores were assigned, and how the final list of material topics was validated. Write it in third person for the published report.
```
### Identify gaps between commitments and stakeholder expectations
When you want to flag areas where the company's current response needs strengthening before the report is published.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare what the company says it is doing on climate transition risk (from last year's report and any current policy documents in my library) against what the stakeholder engagement summaries show they expect. Where are the most significant gaps? Format this as a gap table I can bring to the internal review meeting.
```
### Check the narrative against the ESRS disclosure requirements
When the draft needs to be verified against the specific CSRD reporting requirements.
```text wrap theme={null}
Review the draft narrative for climate-related physical risks against the ESRS E1 disclosure requirements I have uploaded. Identify any required disclosure element that the draft does not address. For each gap, quote the specific ESRS requirement and describe what additional information would be needed to meet it.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the reporting standard explicitly: "CSRD double materiality under ESRS" and "GRI 3 material topics" call for different narrative structures. Upload the relevant standard so Anara frames the narrative to the right disclosure logic. Limit scope per session: three to five material topics produces focused output. Asking for the full chapter in one prompt produces a longer draft that needs more revision.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara writes from the documents you upload. If the materiality assessment relied on workshops whose notes were not uploaded, or stakeholder expectations were captured in interviews but not documented, those inputs are invisible to Anara. Where the narrative feels thin on a topic you know was discussed but not recorded, add a paragraph of context to the prompt and ask Anara to incorporate it.
### What to do with the output next
Share the topic-by-topic draft with internal subject matter owners before the full report review. The gaps Anara identifies often require a decision: is the company addressing the expectation by publication, or does the narrative need to acknowledge the gap? Flag those decisions early. Once sections are approved, use the ESRS check follow-up to run a compliance review before the report goes to assurance.
# Extract a structured summary table from any research paper
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/extract-summary-table
Paste a fixed extraction template and attach a paper. Anara reads the document and fills one row of your table with the values it finds. Every cell traces to a specific passage. Customize the template for your field. Run the same extraction against every paper in a folder using Deep Search. For building the research log you return to throughout your project.
## 1. Describe the task
You have forty papers to read and a research log to fill. Reading each paper end to end to extract the same eight fields is the kind of work that takes a day per batch and drifts in consistency as the project stretches into months.
Anara can run a fixed extraction template against each paper and return a filled row. You define the fields. You attach the paper. Anara reads it and returns only what the paper actually reports. Cells that cannot be filled from the text stay blank rather than filled with something plausible-sounding.
The same template works across fields. A materials science researcher and a public health researcher run templates that look nearly identical. Their fields are different, but the motion is the same: one paper in, one structured row out, consistent across the entire project.
Here a PhD student in biomedical engineering has twenty-three papers on hydrogel biomaterials for a graduate course project and needs a summary log she can sort and compare.
```text wrap theme={null}
Please create a summary table for this research paper using the following fields:
Title | Authors | Year | Research question or objective | Study type and methodology | Key findings | Limitations | Conclusions and implications
Fill each cell using only what this paper reports. If a field is not addressed in the paper, write "Not reported." Quote the specific passage where the key finding appears. Do not add interpretation beyond what the paper states.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The paper, either uploaded to your library or attached to the chat.
**Optional context**
* A custom field list if the default template does not match your research area. Anara replaces the default fields with whatever you specify.
* One completed example row. Helps Anara match your level of detail and your phrasing conventions.
## 3. What Anara creates
A filled table row, formatted as a markdown table, with each cell citing the passage it came from. The output is your research log entry for this paper. You copy it into your notes or review tracker and open a new chat for the next paper. Over a full literature review, these rows become the working dataset you compare, filter, and sort.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Add a field Anara missed
When the default extraction skipped something you need.
```text wrap theme={null}
Add a column for "Sample size" between Methodology and Key findings, and fill it for this paper. If sample size is not reported separately, check the methods section for participant count.
```
### Run the batch across a folder
When you are ready to process a full set of papers at once. Requires Deep Search.
```text wrap theme={null}
Run this same extraction template across every paper in my folder "Hydrogel Biomaterials." Return one table with all rows combined. Use Deep Search so you can process the papers in parallel. Keep the same column structure.
```
### Catch a cell that looks too full
When a cell contains more detail than the paper seems to support.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the Key Findings cell you filled: quote the exact passage from the paper where this is stated. If you summarized across multiple passages rather than quoting one, show me the passages you drew from.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The instruction "use only what this paper reports" is the most important line in the prompt. Without it, Anara completes sparse cells by drawing on what it knows about the field, which introduces errors that are hard to catch later. Asking for a quoted passage in the key findings cell turns every row into a self-auditing unit: if the passage is not there, the finding is not supported. If your extraction template has more than ten fields, split it into two passes: a descriptive pass (study type, population, methods) and an outcomes pass (findings, limitations, implications). Long templates produce compressed cells.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Read the quoted passage before you copy the row. A cell that looks well-filled but does not appear in the quoted passage is the failure mode to catch. This happens most often in the methodology cell, where Anara may describe the study type using a label the paper does not use itself. When you disagree with a classification, ask Anara to show you the specific sentence in the methods section it based the entry on. If the paper uses a non-standard study design, add a note to that cell in your own words.
### What to do with the output next
Paste the row into your tracking spreadsheet or note alongside the other extracted rows. Over time, sorting by the methodology column or the limitations column surfaces patterns across the literature that are hard to see paper by paper. When the full set is extracted, use the compare-papers workflow to probe specific dimensions across a subset, or ask Anara to write a synthesis paragraph from the rows you have collected.
# Research a grant competition and map your work to its evaluation criteria
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/grant-writing
Before you write a word of the application, ask Anara to read past winner announcements, judge profiles, and program descriptions to identify what the funder is actually rewarding. Then map your project to those criteria and find out where you need to reframe. For researchers and founders who want to write to the funder's real priorities, not the ones stated in the brochure.
## 1. Describe the task
The program description says it rewards innovation and scientific excellence. Every application says the same thing. What distinguishes the winners is something else: a credible route to market, visible societal impact, founders who can explain their work to a non-specialist judge. Most applicants do not read the public record that reveals this.
Anara can do the pre-application research pass before you draft anything. It reads past winner announcements, judge bios, and award citations to identify what a program actually rewards. You upload your project description and ask how your work maps to those patterns.
Here a chemistry startup founder is applying to the Royal Society of Chemistry's Emerging Technologies Competition and has spent two hours reading past winners before realizing the judges are looking for something different from what she initially planned to write.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am applying to the RSC Emerging Technologies Competition. I need to understand what this competition actually rewards, not just what the guidelines say.
Search for: past winner announcements for the RSC ETC going back five years, judge and advisory panel profiles, any program descriptions or evaluation criteria published by the RSC, and any post-award coverage or interviews with winners.
Based on what you find, tell me: what is the pattern across winners? What do they have in common that goes beyond "scientific excellence"? What does the competition appear to weight most heavily that is not stated in the program description?
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The competition name and the relevant funder. Anara searches publicly available sources.
**Optional context**
* Your project description or abstract. Once Anara understands the competition's actual criteria, it can map your work directly.
* Any funding opportunity notice or program description document you have already downloaded. Uploading it speeds the criteria analysis.
* Geographic or sector focus: some competitions weight regional impact or specific verticals; knowing this helps Anara look for the right patterns.
## 3. What Anara creates
A research brief covering what the funder has historically rewarded, derived from public evidence rather than the program description alone. It identifies the stated criteria, the implied criteria revealed by past winners, and the gaps between the two. When you provide your project description, the output extends to a mapping of your work against each criterion with recommendations for reframing. The brief is what you write from.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Map your project to the criteria you found
Once the research brief is complete, run the mapping against your actual work.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is my project description. Map it to the criteria patterns you identified. For each criterion, tell me: does my project meet it as described, does it meet it but I have described it poorly, or does it genuinely not meet it? For the gaps, tell me whether I should address them or whether they are outside the scope of what this competition rewards.
```
### Draft the application narrative section
When you have the mapping and need to turn it into the application itself.
```text wrap theme={null}
Using the criteria mapping and my project description, draft the 500-word project narrative for the application. Lead with the strongest fit to the competition's actual priorities, and frame the scientific contribution in terms the non-specialist judges will find credible. Cite the specific criteria you are addressing in each paragraph.
```
### Compare two funding opportunities
When you are deciding which competition to enter before committing the time.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am deciding between the RSC Emerging Technologies Competition and the Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Fellowship. Research both programs the same way and tell me: which one is a better fit for my project and why? Which competition rewards the kind of work I am doing?
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Ask for past winner announcements specifically, not just the competition website. The program description is what the funder says it cares about. Winner announcements are what it has actually rewarded. These are not always the same. Judge profiles add a second layer: if most judges have commercialization backgrounds rather than academic ones, the evaluation criteria are weighted accordingly, regardless of what the program description states.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Web search pulls from publicly available sources. If a competition has limited public records of past winners, the brief will be thinner. For competitions that do not publish winner citations with rationale, supplement Anara's research with network intelligence: a conversation with a past winner or panel member is worth more than any public record.
### What to do with the output next
Complete the mapping before you write a word of the application. Applications written without it tend to lead with the science and leave the commercial or societal case for the end. Once a draft exists, re-read it against the criteria brief and check whether the first paragraph of each section addresses the criterion it should. If not, reorder.
# Generate a concept diagram or illustration from your research
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/img-concept-figure
Describe a mechanism, a process, or a conceptual relationship from your research and Anara generates an illustrative diagram. Ask Anara to read your uploaded papers first so the illustration is grounded in what your library actually describes, not a generic version of the concept. For researchers who need a figure for a slide, a grant application, or a poster and do not have design time.
## 1. Describe the task
You need a figure for Thursday's lab meeting. Not a publication-ready multi-panel schematic with labeled axes and statistical notation, but an illustrative diagram that shows how the pathway works, what the intervention does, or how the study design is structured. The kind of figure you would sketch on a whiteboard to explain your project.
Anara generates this from a description. Tell it what the concept is and what relationships between elements you want to show. If the concept is described in a paper in your library, ask Anara to read that section first and use it as the basis for the image. The image is illustrative: it communicates the concept accurately but does not render precise molecular geometry, axis-labeled charts, or publication-standard data visualizations. It does not replace BioRender or Illustrator for publication-quality work.
Here a cell biology PhD student needs a concept figure for her research proposal showing how her target kinase fits into a known signaling pathway and where her proposed intervention acts.
```text wrap theme={null}
Read the methods and results sections of my uploaded paper on AMPK-mTOR signaling in senescent cells. Based on what the paper describes, generate an illustrative concept diagram showing:
- AMPK and mTOR as two nodes with a regulatory relationship
- How nutrient sensing upstream of AMPK feeds into the pathway
- Where the pharmacological intervention described in the paper acts on the pathway
- Downstream effects on autophagy induction
Use a clean, simple style appropriate for a research proposal figure. Show arrows for activating relationships and flat-headed lines for inhibitory relationships. Do not include axis labels or statistical notation.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A description of the concept, mechanism, or process you want illustrated. The more specific the description, the more accurate the diagram.
**Optional context**
* An uploaded paper or note that describes the concept in detail. Anara reads the relevant section first and uses the scientific description as the basis for the image, which improves accuracy and grounding.
* A style or tone specification: simple and schematic, detailed with labeled components, clean lines for a slide, more visual for a poster.
## 3. What Anara creates
An illustrative diagram rendered as an image in the chat, grounded in your uploaded papers when you provide them. Ready to screenshot for a slide or grant application, not ready for journal submission. The image cannot represent quantitative data, precise molecular structure, or publication-standard notation.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Revise the diagram with a different emphasis
When the first version is close but the emphasis is wrong.
```text wrap theme={null}
The diagram is good but it shows AMPK and mTOR as equal in size. Make AMPK more visually prominent since that is the primary intervention target in our study. Also add a label showing where metformin acts on the pathway.
```
### Generate a study design schematic
When you need a figure showing how the experiment is set up rather than how a pathway works.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate a schematic showing the study design for a two-arm randomized trial: a treatment arm receiving the intervention and a control arm. Show the timeline with three assessment time points at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. Keep the style clean and simple for a slide deck.
```
### Ask Anara to explain what it generated
When you want to verify the diagram reflects the science correctly before you use it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Describe what the diagram you just generated shows, step by step. I want to confirm that the pathway relationships are depicted correctly before I use this in my presentation.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Describe the elements and relationships explicitly. "Generate a signaling pathway diagram" is too little structure. "Show three proteins: A activates B, B inhibits C, the intervention blocks A-to-B" gives Anara enough. Use relationship language: activates, inhibits, recruits, phosphorylates. These map to arrow types. Describe the style you want (light background, minimal text, circular nodes). The more concrete the description, the closer the output.
### Check the output against your own understanding
The diagram is generated from your description and any library text you pointed Anara to. It does not verify whether the pathway relationships you described are scientifically correct. Review the diagram against your understanding of the biology before using it. Where a relationship looks wrong, describe the correction and regenerate. The verify-and-revise loop usually takes two or three iterations.
### What to do with the output next
Screenshot or save the image from the chat. It may need cropping or background adjustment for your slide tool. For grant applications, check whether the figure meets funder guidelines on backgrounds and resolution. For a publication or regulatory document, use the Anara figure as a reference sketch to brief an illustrator or replicate with a dedicated tool.
# Create a patient-facing educational graphic from clinical evidence
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/img-patient-education
Describe what you want patients to understand and ask Anara to find the supporting evidence in your library, then generate a clear illustrative graphic. Anara grounds the visual concept in your uploaded clinical materials before generating. For clinical teams who need patient education materials and do not have a design budget or timeline to match.
## 1. Describe the task
Every patient education intervention needs a visual. The clinical team has the evidence and the knowledge. What it does not have is a medical illustrator and a design budget. The result is text-heavy handouts, repurposed slides, or borrowed graphics that do not match the message.
Anara can generate an illustrative graphic grounded in your own clinical materials. Describe the patient audience, the single concept you want the graphic to communicate, and the visual style. Anara reads the relevant section of your uploaded materials first, then generates a graphic built around what your documentation actually says rather than a generic representation of the topic.
Here a clinical nurse specialist running a heart failure management program for patients recently discharged from hospital needs a simple graphic explaining the fluid retention cycle for a home monitoring leaflet.
```text wrap theme={null}
I need a patient-facing educational graphic for a heart failure home monitoring leaflet. The target audience is patients aged 65-80 recently discharged after a heart failure admission. Many have low health literacy.
First, search my uploaded heart failure management protocol for the section on fluid retention monitoring, daily weight checks, and when to call the clinic.
Then generate an illustrative graphic showing the cycle: increased salt or fluid intake leads to fluid retention, which causes weight gain and breathlessness, which should trigger the patient to call the clinic. The visual style should be clear and simple: no small text, no complex diagrams, icons and arrows rather than clinical notation. Aspect ratio 3:4 for portrait A5 leaflet.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A description of the patient audience, the single message the graphic needs to communicate, and the intended format or use.
**Optional context**
* Your uploaded clinical protocols, patient education frameworks, or condition management guides. Anara reads the relevant section and grounds the graphic in what your materials actually say.
* A preferred visual style: icon-based, illustrative, diagrammatic, minimal text. Anara interprets the style instruction and generates accordingly.
* The output format or dimensions: portrait for a leaflet, square for a digital display, wide for a slide.
## 3. What Anara creates
An illustrative graphic grounded in your clinical materials and suitable for leaflets, waiting room displays, or digital health platforms. It communicates one concept per image. The image is for illustrative and educational purposes, not a clinical diagram with precise anatomical detail. Your clinical team should review it before use with patients.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Generate a companion graphic for a different part of the pathway
When you need a series of graphics covering multiple steps in a patient education sequence.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate a second graphic for the same leaflet showing what to do when the daily weight increases by more than 2kg in 24 hours: call the heart failure nurse, do not wait until the scheduled appointment. Same visual style, same aspect ratio.
```
### Adjust the concept for a lower-literacy audience
When the first version needs simplifying further for a specific population.
```text wrap theme={null}
The graphic has too many elements for a very low-literacy audience. Simplify to a single icon-based image showing one action: weigh yourself every morning and call if the number goes up. Remove all text except the single instruction.
```
### Generate a version for a digital health app
When the same concept needs to be adapted for a screen rather than a printed leaflet.
```text wrap theme={null}
Regenerate this graphic in a 1:1 square format suitable for a mobile health app card. The background should be light enough to work on a white screen. Keep the core concept the same but optimize the layout for a small phone screen.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
One concept per graphic. The most common failure is trying to show the full clinical pathway in a single image. Describe the single action or relationship you want the patient to take away: "this causes that" or "when this happens, do this." Specifying the visual style (icons and arrows, no clinical notation, portrait format) shapes the output toward what is usable in the intended context.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara generates illustrative graphics. The image communicates a concept; it does not render precise anatomical structures or clinical measurements to specification. For clinical or regulatory documentation where precise scientific representation is required, the generated image is not appropriate. Before using any graphic with patients, your clinical team should review it for conceptual accuracy and appropriateness for the specific population.
### What to do with the output next
Insert the generated image into your leaflet or digital health template. If the concept is right but the execution needs adjustment, refine the style instructions and regenerate. For a patient education series, establish the visual style in the first graphic and reference it in subsequent prompts for consistency. Route the image through your institution's clinical communications approval process before distribution.
# Use-cases introduction
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/introduction
Anara is an AI research workspace where agents complete research tasks end-to-end. Give it a goal and Anara searches your library, the web, and academic databases, then synthesizes what it finds into a cited, verifiable document you can edit. This site shows what that looks like in practice: specific workflows across academic research, clinical work, regulatory documentation, legal research, consulting, and more.
Each page walks through one workflow end to end: what you are trying to accomplish, how to set up your library, a prompt you can copy and adapt, follow-up prompts for next steps, and tips for getting the most out of the answer. Start with the segment that matches your work.
Literature review, citation, systematic review, thesis writing, and teaching workflows.
Cross-domain research workflows that span academic and industry contexts.
Preclinical, clinical, medical affairs, regulatory, MedComms, and business development workflows for pharma, biotech, and medical devices.
Narrative reports, evidence audits, and medical-legal evaluation workflows.
Legal research, argument drafting, petition audits, and case preparation.
Qualitative synthesis, field research, and client deliverable workflows.
Document drafting, briefing, and structured writing for professionals who produce long-form work.
# Map the legal authorities for a doctrine question and draft an argument section
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/legal-research-drafting
Name a legal question or doctrine and Anara maps the key authorities in your library, identifies which support your position and which complicate it, and drafts the argument section with proper citation structure. For attorneys who need to move from research to a written argument without the manual reorganization step.
## 1. Describe the task
The research is done. You have the cases, the statutes, the secondary sources. What takes time now is the organization step: which authorities are foundational, which are supporting, which are the ones you need to distinguish, and how do they chain together into an argument a court will follow.
Anara reads across your uploaded library and maps the authorities for you. You name the legal question or doctrine, tell Anara the position you are arguing, and Anara identifies which uploaded sources support that position, which complicate or undermine it, and how the precedents relate to each other. Then you ask it to draft the argument section, using the mapped authorities in the order that builds the strongest argument.
The research capability reaches published legal scholarship and web-accessible case law. For paywalled databases like Westlaw and LexisNexis, supply the cases to your library and Anara works from what you have provided.
Here an appellate attorney is preparing a brief on the preemption of state consumer protection claims by federal banking law and needs to move from a stack of uploaded cases and law review articles to a drafted argument section before the end of the week.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am drafting the preemption argument for an appellate brief. My position: federal banking regulations under the National Bank Act preempt the plaintiff's state consumer protection claims in this case.
My library contains the key cases and secondary sources. Please do the following: (1) Identify which uploaded authorities are foundational for the preemption analysis, the Supreme Court and circuit decisions that establish the doctrine. (2) Map which uploaded sources support my preemption argument and which complicate it or cut against it. (3) Draft the preemption section of the argument, roughly 600 words, in standard legal brief style with citations. Use the strongest supporting authorities in the opening, address the complicating authorities before the court does, and close with the application to our specific facts.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your uploaded library of cases, statutes, and secondary sources relevant to the legal question.
* Your position: which side of the doctrine you are arguing. Anara maps the authorities toward the argument you are making, not toward a neutral survey.
**Optional context**
* The specific facts of your case, in a one-paragraph description. Anara uses this to apply the authorities to your particular situation rather than arguing the doctrine in the abstract.
* Opposing counsel's likely arguments if you know them. "They will rely on X case and argue Y" tells Anara which authorities to address and how to frame the distinction.
## 3. What Anara creates
A map of the authorities organized by their relationship to your argument, followed by a drafted argument section with inline citations. Review the map before the draft: confirm foundational cases, check that complicating authorities are addressed, adjust the framing if the logic chain has a gap.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Map the argument as a visual flowchart
When the authority chain is complex and you want to see the logic before you draft.
```text wrap theme={null}
Draw a text-based argument flowchart showing how the preemption authorities chain together: which decisions established the doctrine, which extended it, which created the exceptions, and where my case fits. Use arrows or indentation to show the relationship between each authority.
```
### Distinguish an adverse case
When the other side will lean on a case you need to address.
```text wrap theme={null}
Opposing counsel will rely on Watters v. Wachovia Bank. Based on the cases in my library and the facts of my case, draft a paragraph distinguishing Watters on its facts and reasoning. Explain why the rule in Watters does not control here.
```
### Check the argument against current circuit precedent
When you want to verify the authority map is current before filing.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search for any circuit court decisions from the last three years that address National Bank Act preemption of state consumer protection claims. Are there any developments that would change the argument I have drafted?
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
State your position before asking for the authority map. "Map the preemption authorities for the position that federal law preempts these state claims" is more useful than a neutral survey. Name the standard of review if it shapes the argument: strict scrutiny and rational basis change which authorities are load-bearing. The more specific the doctrinal framing, the more targeted the authority selection.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara draws from your library and web-accessible legal materials. If a key case is behind a paywall and you have not uploaded it, Anara may discuss it from secondary sources. Verify any case you plan to cite against the primary opinion. Ask for Bluebook format explicitly if required; check pinpoint citations before the brief goes out.
### What to do with the output next
Read the draft for logical structure first, then citation accuracy, then tone. Circuit briefs, trial court motions, and state court practice each have distinct registers. Where the draft reads too academic, ask Anara to revise toward your court's expected voice. Once the section is structurally sound, integrate it and run a final citation check.
# Search your entire library for every mention of a concept, term, or author
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/library-search-all-concepts
Name a term, a concept, a methodology, or an author name and Anara searches your entire library and returns every passage where it appears, organized by document. You see how many papers mention it, what each one says about it, and which papers treat it most centrally. For tracing how a concept moves across your collection.
## 1. Describe the task
You are not looking for papers that support an argument. You are looking for every place a specific term appears in your library, because you want to see the full range of how it is used, defined, and contested across everything you have uploaded.
Anara runs a targeted search across your entire library and returns every passage where the term appears, organized by document. The output shows you which papers mention the concept at all, which treat it centrally, and how the usage varies. This is the concept-tracing workflow: before you write the section on how your field uses a term, you want to know what your library actually has on it.
Here a PhD student in sociology is writing a chapter on how the concept of gendered racism operates in educational literature and wants to trace every appearance of the term across her library of 90 papers before she writes her theoretical framework.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search my entire library for every passage where "gendered racism" appears. I want to see all of them, not just the top few. Organize the results by document, with the document name and every relevant passage from that document listed together.
For each passage, include the page reference if available. After listing all the passages, tell me: which three papers treat gendered racism most centrally based on how many times it appears and how it is framed?
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your library, or a specific folder if you want to scope the search to a subset of your papers.
**Optional context**
* Variant terms or synonyms you want included in the same search (for example, "racialized gender" or "intersectional discrimination" alongside your primary term).
* A note on whether you want semantic matches (conceptually related content) or exact-term matches only. For tracing a specific technical term, keyword mode catches what semantic mode may miss.
## 3. What Anara creates
A document-by-document list of every passage where the term appears, with page references and clickable citation badges linking back to the source. Anara then names the papers where the term appears most frequently and explains how they frame it. The output is a term frequency and usage map for your theoretical framework: you know what your library says about the concept and where the most substantive treatments are before you write a word.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Trace how the definition shifts across papers
When different papers in the results use the same term differently and you want to document the variation.
```text wrap theme={null}
Three of the papers you found define gendered racism differently. Pull the specific definitions from each and show them side by side. Note whether any paper explicitly distinguishes its definition from another paper's or acknowledges the variation in how the term is used across the literature.
```
### Find papers that do not use the term but should
When you want to identify which papers in your library address the concept under a different label.
```text wrap theme={null}
Now search my library for papers that discuss the intersection of race and gender in educational contexts without using the term "gendered racism." I want to find papers that are conceptually relevant but use different vocabulary. Return the papers and the passages that show the conceptual overlap.
```
### Build a usage timeline across publication years
When you are tracing how the concept has evolved and want to see when it entered your library's literature.
```text wrap theme={null}
From the papers where "gendered racism" appeared, organize the results by publication year, earliest to most recent. I want to see whether the term's usage or framing has shifted over time based on how the papers in my library use it.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The distinction between this workflow and argumentative-support search matters. If you ask "which papers support my argument that gendered racism operates in education," Anara searches for passages confirming a specific claim. If you ask "search my entire library for every mention of the term gendered racism," Anara returns comprehensive coverage, including papers that use the term neutrally or tangentially. For exact terminology, request keyword mode explicitly: it ensures Anara looks for the precise string rather than semantically similar content.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara retrieves passages by search, not by reading every word of every paper. A paper that uses a term only in passing may appear with fewer passages than one that integrates it centrally. If a paper you know discusses a concept does not show up, add a synonym to the search or ask Anara to search that specific paper for the term directly. The document-by-document view helps you notice which papers you expected to see but did not.
### What to do with the output next
Use the passage list as the raw material for your theoretical framework section. Papers with the most passages and the most substantive framing are your primary sources. Papers that appear tangentially are secondary mentions. Once you have the full landscape, use the cross-library argumentative-support search as the natural complement: once you know who uses the term, ask which of those papers supports the specific claim you want to make.
# Write a full literature review from your library
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/lit-review-writing
Point Anara at a folder of papers and ask for the full literature review. Anara reads across the whole library, organizes the field by theme, and drafts a multi-section chapter with inline citations linked to source passages. Every claim traces back to a specific passage you can click through to verify. For when you have the sources and the argument, and need the whole review drafted end-to-end so you can start editing.
## 1. Describe the task
You have the papers. You have a sense of what the chapter needs to argue. Writing the review from scratch means working through every paper, organizing them into themes, drafting each section, and rechecking what each source actually says before you commit to a claim. It is a multi-week job for one person.
Anara runs the full review in one pass. It reads across the folder you point it to, clusters the literature by theme, identifies where papers agree and where they diverge, and writes a full chapter organized around the argument you named. Each claim carries an inline citation linked to the specific passage in the source PDF, not to the paper as a whole. When the draft says that two papers conflict on measurement strategy, there are clickable citation badges showing you exactly where in each paper that position appears.
The citations are real. They come from the text you uploaded. Anara will not generate a reference to a paper you do not have, and it will not blend two papers' arguments into one composite claim that neither of them actually makes. Where it cannot find direct support for a claim in your library, it flags the gap rather than filling it in.
Here a PhD student in environmental policy has forty-two papers organized in a folder and needs the full literature review chapter for her dissertation on EU climate adaptation governance.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write the literature review chapter for my dissertation on EU climate adaptation governance. My papers are in the folder "Climate Adaptation Policy" (42 papers).
Organize the chapter around four themes: (1) how national adaptation plans are framed in the literature, (2) the relationship between national plans and EU cohesion funding, (3) sub-national implementation variation, (4) existing debates about policy effectiveness.
The chapter should argue that the current academic consensus underestimates implementation gaps at the sub-national level. Build toward that argument across the four themes. Target 4,000 to 5,000 words.
Use only papers in my library. For every claim, include an inline citation to the specific passage. Flag any claim where you cannot find direct support in the folder so I can decide whether to soften it or find a source.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A folder containing the papers you want the review drafted from.
**Optional context**
* The argument you want the chapter to build toward. Anara writes toward it rather than producing a neutral overview.
* The thematic structure you want the chapter to follow. Without this Anara will surface its own structure from clustering the library.
* Target word count and the register of your field or journal. Helps Anara match expected depth and density.
* Any papers in the folder that are foundational and should carry more weight than others.
## 3. What Anara creates
A full literature review chapter drafted in one pass: a framing introduction, thematic sections organized around the structure you named or the one Anara surfaces from your library, transitions between themes, and a concluding section that lands the argument. Every claim carries a passage citation you can click to verify in the source PDF. Where the library does not support a claim Anara wanted to make, it flags the gap inline so you can decide whether to find the source or adjust the argument.
This is a first draft, not a finished chapter. You will revise it — tightening arguments, expanding thin sections, cutting what does not serve the chapter. The value is that you are editing a structured, cited draft instead of starting from a blank page with forty-two PDFs open.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Tighten the argument in one section
When a section hedges where it should commit, or buries the point you most want to make.
```text wrap theme={null}
The section on sub-national implementation is too cautious. Rewrite it to argue more directly that the literature systematically under-measures local variation. Keep every claim tied to a passage citation.
```
### Expand one theme with more evidence
When a theme reads thin relative to the others and you know the library has more on it.
```text wrap theme={null}
The section on EU cohesion funding is shorter than the others. Find every passage in my library that discusses how cohesion funds are allocated to adaptation projects and expand this section to match the depth of the others.
```
### Generate the reference list
When the draft is structurally close to final and you need the bibliography.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate a reference list for every paper cited in this chapter, formatted in APA 7. Only include papers actually cited in the draft.
```
### Restructure around a different argument
When you read the draft and realize the chapter should argue something different.
```text wrap theme={null}
I want to reframe the chapter around institutional capacity rather than funding alignment. Restructure the four sections so they build toward that argument, keep the citations tied to passages, and flag any sections where the evidence in my library no longer supports the new framing.
```
### Save the draft as a note
When you are ready to move the draft out of chat and into the editor.
```text wrap theme={null}
Save this chapter as a note called "Literature Review Draft: Climate Adaptation." I will continue editing it there with my library still in scope.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Include "use only papers in my library" in every literature review prompt. Without that constraint Anara may supplement your folder with papers from its academic index, and those citations will not have the clickable passage links you need for verification. Name the argument you want to support and the thematic structure you want followed. A prompt that says "organize the chapter around these four themes and build toward this argument" produces a tighter draft than "write a literature review on X."
### Generate the chapter in one pass, then iterate section-by-section
Anara is built to run the full review end-to-end rather than paragraph-by-paragraph. Ask for the whole chapter in one prompt, then use follow-up prompts to tighten specific sections, expand thin ones, or restructure around a different argument. This is faster than drafting each section in isolation and produces a more internally coherent chapter because Anara has the whole structure in view at once.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara spots where papers take different positions on the same point, including across papers you read months apart. When the draft flags a contradiction, check both passages before deciding whether to keep it. Sometimes the contradiction is real and worth naming in your review. Sometimes it is a framing difference that reads as substantive at the passage level but not in context. You know which papers carry the most weight in your field; tell Anara if it is leaning on a minor study when a more authoritative one is in the folder.
### What to do with the output next
Save the draft as a note and edit it in the note editor with your library still in scope so you can search for additional support as you revise. When the draft is close to final, use the claim-verification workflow to audit it claim by claim, checking that each sentence still matches the passage you are citing. Once the draft is clean, generate your reference list from the cited documents. If your thesis template requires a DOCX, export from the note editor when the draft is structurally complete.
# Build a research project that keeps growing across months of sessions
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/long-running-research-project
Set up a project folder, write a master instructions note, and Anara works with your growing document collection across every session. New papers drop in, old chats compress, and your project context stays intact. For researchers managing a large or long-running project where continuity across sessions matters as much as the individual answers.
## 1. Describe the task
You started uploading documents in September. It is now March, and the project has three sub-folders, a hundred and forty papers, a stack of notes, and a naming convention you invented yourself. Every new chat session, you have to re-explain the project before you can ask a question.
There is a way to build continuity. A master instructions note in your project folder holds your project context permanently: what the project is, how your folders are organized, what citation style you use, what Anara should never do in this project. You reference that note at the start of each session, and the project picks up where it left off.
This is not a feature Anara builds for you automatically. It is a pattern you set up once, and it changes how every subsequent session runs. The users who have done it longest carry months of accumulated research into each new chat with a single message.
Here a legal researcher in London has been building an antitrust analysis across 1,600 documents over fourteen months, with new documents arriving each week as the case evolves.
```text wrap theme={null}
New session. I am continuing the antitrust analysis project. My master instructions note is in the "Antitrust Project" folder, please read it before we begin.
Today I have three tasks: (1) Find anything in my library about predatory pricing in digital platform markets that I may not have reviewed yet. (2) Summarize the three new documents I uploaded this morning, they are in the "New Uploads" sub-folder. (3) Draft a two-paragraph synthesis on how the most recent EU Digital Markets Act guidance compares to what my earlier papers say about structural separation remedies.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A project folder containing your documents, organized into sub-folders if needed.
* A note titled something like "MASTER INSTRUCTIONS" in the root of that folder. Write your project description, folder structure, naming conventions, citation preferences, and any standing instructions in it.
**Optional context**
* A "New Uploads" sub-folder for documents you have not reviewed yet. Referencing this at the start of each session lets Anara process new material without mixing it with already-reviewed documents.
* Notes from previous sessions where you recorded key findings or decisions. Tag them in the project folder so Anara can pull them alongside the papers.
## 3. What Anara creates
Answers, summaries, and drafts drawn from a project Anara already understands. The master instructions note re-establishes context so you can open a session with a task rather than an explanation. Over months, the project grows; the note stays the same or gets updated when your conventions change.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Update the master instructions note
When your project has changed and the standing context needs revision.
```text wrap theme={null}
Open my MASTER INSTRUCTIONS note and add the following: I have started a new sub-folder called "Counter-Evidence" for documents that complicate the central argument. When I reference this folder, treat documents in it with the same weight as primary sources but note explicitly when a counter-evidence document is being cited.
```
### Find gaps in the coverage
When you want to know what the project library is missing.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the documents in my Antitrust Project folder, what major arguments or sub-topics appear to be missing? What would a reviewer of this analysis likely say is insufficiently evidenced given what I have uploaded so far?
```
### Triage new uploads
When a batch of new documents has arrived and you want a fast read of what is worth deep attention.
```text wrap theme={null}
Summarize each of the five documents in my New Uploads sub-folder in two sentences: what it covers and whether it appears directly relevant to the predatory pricing thread I have been developing. Flag any that look central enough to add to the main folder.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The master instructions note is only useful if you reference it at the start of each session. Write a one-line opener you use every time: "New session. Read the MASTER INSTRUCTIONS note in \[Folder] before we start." The note should include folder structure, priorities, and citation constraints. Update it when the project changes.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara does not remember previous sessions unless you uploaded the outputs as notes. A synthesis in session forty draws from documents in your library, not from earlier session conclusions. Record important decisions in the master instructions note or a project decisions note. Project continuity is yours to maintain; Anara provides the research capability within each session.
### What to do with the output next
Save session outputs as named notes in your project folder. A consistent naming convention ("Session Summary, 2026-03-11") lets Anara find and incorporate them when you ask. For large projects, tidy the folder every few months. Move archived documents to an "Archive" sub-folder so the working folder stays navigable.
# Build the clinical evidence case for a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-biomarker-clinical-case
Name the biomarker and attach a folder of publications on its clinical performance. Anara synthesizes the published sensitivity and specificity range, the patient populations studied, how it compares to the gold standard, and which guidelines have endorsed its use. Every data point cites the specific paper it came from. For clinical development and medical affairs teams building the evidence foundation for a biomarker's regulatory or market access case.
## 1. Describe the task
Your biomarker has a growing literature. Papers across different patient populations, study designs, and device platforms, each reporting performance data that is hard to synthesize in your head and time-consuming to pull together manually.
Anara reads across the papers you have collected and organizes the clinical performance evidence into a structured synthesis: the published sensitivity and specificity range across studies, which patient populations have been studied and which have not, how the biomarker performs against the gold standard, what the outstanding clinical questions are, and which regulatory or clinical guidelines have formally endorsed its use. Every data point in the synthesis cites the specific paper and the specific passage it came from.
The synthesis is useful at two stages. Early in a development program, it maps what the literature has established and where the clinical gaps are, which shapes the study design for the next validation study. Later, it becomes the evidence foundation for a regulatory submission or a market access dossier, where every clinical claim must trace to a published source.
Here a clinical research scientist at a medical diagnostics company is building the evidence case for a novel cardiac biomarker as an alternative to endomyocardial biopsy in transplant monitoring, and has a folder of twenty-three publications.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am building a clinical evidence case for donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) as a non-invasive alternative to endomyocardial biopsy for detecting cardiac allograft vasculopathy and rejection. My publications are in the folder "dd-cfDNA Cardiac Evidence."
Across these papers, synthesize:
1. The published sensitivity and specificity range for dd-cfDNA across the included studies (report the range with the studies at each end of the range)
2. Which patient populations have been studied (transplant type, timing post-transplant, center characteristics)
3. How dd-cfDNA performance compares to endomyocardial biopsy as the reference standard, including any studies reporting concordance data
4. Which clinical guidelines or professional societies have formally endorsed or reviewed dd-cfDNA in this indication
5. The outstanding clinical questions not yet answered by the published literature
Use only papers in my folder. Cite the specific paper and passage for every data point. Flag any performance claim where fewer than three papers agree.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A folder containing the publications you want synthesized.
**Optional context**
* The specific regulatory or market access context you are building toward (EU MDR clinical evaluation, FDA 510(k), HEOR submission). Anara adjusts the framing and depth of evidence classification.
* One or two papers you consider anchor studies. Anara treats these as primary references and ensures every other paper is compared against their methodology and findings.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured clinical evidence synthesis covering the performance dimensions you named, with per-claim citations and a summary of the outstanding gaps. The synthesis is the working evidence document you bring to a clinical development team meeting, a regulatory submission, or a market access dossier. Where fewer than three papers agree on a performance claim, the output flags that so you know where your evidence base is thin before a reviewer identifies it for you.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Identify the outstanding clinical questions
When the synthesis is complete and you want to map the gaps for the next study design.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the evidence synthesis, identify the three most significant gaps in the published literature that limit the clinical adoption case for dd-cfDNA. For each gap, describe what study design would most credibly address it.
```
### Compare this biomarker's evidence base to an established comparator
When you need to position the biomarker against the current standard of care or a competing technology.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare the published performance data for dd-cfDNA against the endomyocardial biopsy data in my folder. Where does dd-cfDNA show superior, inferior, or equivalent performance? Cite the studies that provide the most direct head-to-head comparison.
```
### Write the clinical evidence summary paragraph
When the synthesis is complete and you need a concise narrative for a submission or a regulatory filing.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write a 200-word clinical evidence summary for dd-cfDNA based on the synthesis. Use formal regulatory language suitable for a clinical evaluation report. Every claim must trace to the cited papers in the folder. Flag any claim where the evidence comes from fewer than two independent studies.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Naming the specific performance dimensions you need (sensitivity, specificity, concordance, guideline endorsement) produces a structured synthesis organized around those dimensions. Without named dimensions, Anara produces a general summary that may not align with the structure your regulatory or market access submission requires. The instruction to flag claims supported by fewer than three papers is important: single-study performance claims are a standard target for regulatory scrutiny, and knowing in advance where your evidence base is thin lets you decide whether to qualify those claims or commission new evidence before submission.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Performance data across studies is not always directly comparable: different patient populations, different reference standards, different analytical platforms can all shift the reported numbers. Before presenting the synthesized range to a regulatory body, review the papers at the extremes of the range and confirm the methodology is comparable to the studies in the middle. If the range spans studies with fundamentally different designs, the synthesis needs a note explaining that, not just a number.
### What to do with the output next
Use the synthesis as the clinical evidence section of a regulatory filing or a market access dossier. For regulatory submissions, pair it with the appraisal table workflow to ensure every study has a formal quality assessment row. For market access, use the outstanding questions section to frame unmet evidence needs in the health economic model.
# Build a comprehensive clinical study guide from a set of trial publications
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-clinical-pharmacotherapy-guide
Upload a folder of clinical trial papers and ask Anara to analyze every one and produce a comprehensive study guide: pharmacologic approach, trial designs, primary and secondary endpoints with statistics, adverse event profiles, evidence limitations, and clinical implications. For medical affairs, clinical pharmacy, and MedComms professionals who need complete coverage, not summaries.
## 1. Describe the task
A standard summary gives you the headline findings. Your job requires the complete picture: every primary and secondary endpoint with the reported statistics, every significant adverse event, every study design limitation that a regulatory reviewer or a prescriber will ask about.
Anara can read every paper in a folder and produce a comprehensive clinical study guide that does not compress or skip. You set ground rules at the start of the session: only use the provided materials, do not miss anything, give me all the statistics. Anara works through the folder and returns a guide covering pharmacologic rationale, key trial designs, primary and secondary efficacy outcomes with confidence intervals and p-values, adverse event profiles, limitations of the evidence, and clinical implications. The output feeds directly into an MSL preparation brief, a medical affairs evidence package, or a clinical pharmacy review.
This is not a summary for a non-specialist audience. It is the document that a specialist reads before a formulary presentation, an evidence review board, or a journal club where every number is fair game for scrutiny.
Here a clinical pharmacy faculty member at a major US university has a folder of trials on combination antibiotic therapy and needs a study guide that covers every trial in full depth.
```text wrap theme={null}
Before proceeding, establish these ground rules: from this point forward, all responses must be based exclusively on the materials in my folder. Do not use external knowledge or supplement with information not present in these documents.
Deeply analyze every PDF in the folder "Triple Antibiotic Therapy Trials." Give me a comprehensive clinical study guide covering:
1. Pharmacologic rationale for triple therapy versus standard of care
2. Key trial designs: phase, patient population, inclusion and exclusion criteria, comparators
3. Primary endpoints: measure, reported result, confidence interval, p-value for each trial
4. Secondary endpoints: all reported, with statistics
5. Adverse event profiles: rates, severity grading, discontinuations due to AE
6. Limitations of the evidence base as reported by the study authors
7. Clinical implications and where the evidence is insufficient or conflicting
Do not miss anything. If I feel you are missing data, I will ask you to go back.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A folder containing the clinical trial publications you want analyzed.
**Optional context**
* The clinical question or formulary decision the study guide is supporting. Anara weights the evidence depth toward the dimensions most relevant to that decision.
* A target therapeutic area context (oncology, infectious disease, cardiology). Helps Anara use the correct clinical vocabulary for endpoints and safety reporting.
## 3. What Anara creates
A comprehensive, cited study guide covering every paper in the folder. Each trial gets its own section. Each endpoint is reported with its full statistics as stated in the paper. Adverse event data is organized by frequency and severity. Where the evidence base is insufficient or conflicting, those gaps are named explicitly rather than smoothed over. The guide is the single document you read before any clinical presentation, evidence board, or MSL field conversation where the details matter.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Ask for deeper statistics on one endpoint
When the summary table is not enough and you need the full statistical picture for a specific outcome.
```text wrap theme={null}
Go back to the first two trials in the folder. For the primary endpoint only, give me the complete statistical picture: the reported effect size, the confidence interval, the p-value, the number needed to treat where reported, and any subgroup analysis that appeared in the paper.
```
### Identify where the evidence conflicts
When you need to understand where the trials disagree before a formulary presentation.
```text wrap theme={null}
Across all trials in the folder, identify every outcome measure where the studies report conflicting results. For each conflict, name the trials, the reported values, and any methodological difference that might explain the discrepancy.
```
### Write the clinical summary for a formulary submission
When the study guide is complete and you need a condensed version for a formal submission.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write a 400-word clinical evidence summary suitable for a formulary submission. Cover the strength of the evidence base, the primary efficacy outcomes, the significant safety signals, and the main limitations. Cite the specific trials for every claim.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Setting explicit ground rules at the start of the session ("all responses must be based exclusively on the provided materials") is the most important prompt-craft move in this workflow. Without it, Anara synthesizes across its general clinical knowledge alongside your papers, which produces responses that are harder to audit and may not match the specific trial populations you are analyzing. If the study guide feels compressed on a section, say so directly: "I feel like you are missing data in the adverse event section. Go back and extract it more completely." Users who get the best results from this workflow treat the first pass as a draft they interrogate, not a final product.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Adverse event data is the section most likely to be compressed, especially when papers report it across multiple tables and appendices. Before presenting AE rates from the study guide to a clinical audience, cross-check the reported numbers against the source paper's safety tables. p-values and confidence intervals can also be misread if a paper presents both unadjusted and adjusted values. The source papers remain the primary record; the study guide is the organized navigation layer.
### What to do with the output next
Save the study guide as a note in Anara and use it as your reference document for MSL briefs, medical affairs evidence packages, and journal club preparation. When new trials are published in the same therapeutic area, import them to the folder and ask Anara to update the relevant sections of the guide rather than regenerating it in full. Use the clinical summary follow-up to produce a condensed version for regulatory or payer submissions.
# Interrogate a clinical trial protocol to answer eligibility and site-operation questions
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-clinical-protocol-interrogation
Upload a clinical investigation plan or sponsor protocol and ask targeted operational questions: which patients in a cohort are eligible, what the safety reporting requirements are, whether a specific deviation scenario is permitted. Every answer cites the specific protocol section. For clinical research associates and research nurses who need to be operationally ready before first patient.
## 1. Describe the task
You have been assigned to a new trial. The protocol is 180 pages. Your first patient is in two weeks. Before you can register that patient, before you can administer treatment, before you can handle a protocol deviation, you need to know the document well enough to answer specific operational questions without missing anything.
Reading the full protocol linearly is not the same as being able to retrieve an answer quickly when a situation arises. Anara reads the uploaded protocol and answers your operational questions directly, citing the specific section, page, and passage. Eligibility questions, safety reporting timelines, deviation handling, mixing restrictions, cohort assignment: each answer points to the clause in the document that governs it. You do not have to search the table of contents or scan the appendices.
Here a clinical research nurse at a cancer trials unit is preparing to register patients in Cohort F of a Phase 1 oncology trial and needs to confirm eligibility criteria, treatment sequencing, and AE reporting timelines before the first patient appointment.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have uploaded the clinical investigation plan for this trial. Please answer the following questions based only on the protocol document:
1. What are the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria for patients registering into Cohort F?
2. What is the treatment sequence for patients in Cohort F who receive Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab together? Are there any sequencing restrictions stated?
3. What is the required reporting timeline for Grade 3 adverse events in this protocol? What information must be included in the report?
4. Is there any restriction on mixing TDM1 with glucose solutions? If so, which section states this?
For each answer, cite the specific section number and page where the information appears.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The clinical investigation plan, sponsor protocol, or IND protocol as a PDF uploaded to your library or attached to the chat.
**Optional context**
* The protocol amendment history if the document has been revised and you want to confirm you are working from the current version. Anara can flag where earlier versions differ if you upload both.
* The patient's screening data, if you are checking eligibility for a specific individual. Anara cross-references the patient's characteristics against the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
## 3. What Anara creates
A direct answer to each operational question, with the exact section number and page reference. Cited so you or a monitor can verify against the source document in minutes.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Check a patient's eligibility in detail
When you have a specific patient and want to run through every criterion.
```text wrap theme={null}
My patient is a 52-year-old female with HER2-positive breast cancer, prior treatment with trastuzumab emtansine, and a current LVEF of 52%. Based only on this protocol, is she eligible for Cohort F? Walk through each inclusion and exclusion criterion and tell me which she meets, which she does not meet, and which require additional information to assess.
```
### Confirm what a protocol deviation requires
When something has happened and you need to know what the protocol says to do next.
```text wrap theme={null}
A patient in Cohort F received their Cycle 2 infusion one day outside the protocol-specified window due to a scheduling error at the infusion center. Based on the protocol, is this a protocol deviation? What does the protocol require be done in this situation, and within what timeframe?
```
### Prepare for a site monitoring visit
When the monitor is coming and you want to review the protocol's data collection and documentation requirements.
```text wrap theme={null}
What documentation does this protocol require for each patient visit in Cohort F? List the required source documents, the data points that must be captured at each visit, and any timing requirements specified. Cite the sections that govern each requirement.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Ask targeted operational questions with specific detail: cohort name, patient type, AE grade, drug name. "What are the eligibility criteria for Cohort F patients with prior anti-HER2 therapy?" returns the relevant clause. Number multi-part questions as in the primary prompt so Anara answers each in order. Include explicit instruction to cite section number and page.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara answers from the uploaded protocol text. If your site uses a locally adapted version or a site-specific addendum was not uploaded, the answers may not reflect your site's conditions. Always cross-reference against the cited section before relying on it for a patient care decision. Clinical eligibility judgment remains yours and the principal investigator's.
### What to do with the output next
Use the cited answers as the basis for your pre-activation checklist and confirm each cited section in your training log. For AE reporting, save the timeline answer as a note with the trial name and protocol version. When a new amendment arrives, upload it alongside the original and ask Anara to identify which answers would change.
# Map the competitive evidence landscape for a therapeutic class or drug program
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-competitive-therapeutic-landscape
Name the therapeutic class, the drug program, or the clinical question and ask Anara to map the evidence landscape: where each therapy stands in the published data, where the clinical differentiation is real, and where the patent or LOE timeline creates risk. For medical affairs, business development, and HEOR teams building a competitive evidence position.
## 1. Describe the task
The BD team needs a competitive read by Friday. The MSL team needs to know which head-to-head data exists and which evidence gaps the competitor is using. The payer is asking how this drug differs from the three already on formulary. All three questions require the same work.
Anara searches across your uploaded trial papers, the academic index, published guidelines, and clinical trial registries to map where each therapy sits in the evidence base. It returns a structured comparison with per-source citations and a synthesis covering the key differentiators, the evidence gaps, and the LOE or patent signals you need for a complete competitive picture.
Here a medical affairs scientist at a pharmaceutical company is building an evidence-based competitive position for an anti-PD-1 antibody program across six tumor types, one indication at a time, with each session covering a different tumor type.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am building a competitive evidence position for our anti-PD-1 antibody program in second-line non-small cell lung cancer. The relevant comparators are pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and atezolizumab.
For each comparator, please find and synthesize the following from published trial data and current clinical guidelines:
- Key pivotal trials: study name, primary endpoint, reported OS and PFS data, patient population
- Current guideline recommendations: NCCN and ESMO, line of therapy, biomarker requirements
- Evidence gaps: indications where the competitor has limited or no head-to-head data
- LOE and patent protection signals: any publicly reported timeline information
Use papers in my library first, then search PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov for anything not already uploaded. Cite every data point.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The therapeutic class or drug program you are analyzing.
* The comparators you want included.
* Your library of published trial papers, if you have them uploaded. Anara searches the library first and supplements with academic databases and clinical trial registries.
**Optional context**
* The specific clinical question driving the analysis: payer positioning, MSL field preparation, BD diligence, regulatory submission support. The output is tailored to the purpose.
* The indication or tumor type if the analysis is indication-specific. Multi-indication programs are best analyzed one indication at a time for sufficient depth.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured competitive evidence brief covering each named comparator with per-source citations for every data point. The synthesis identifies where clinical differentiation is real and traceable to data, where it is claimed but not established, and where evidence gaps create risk or opportunity. The brief is a starting-point evidence position for the MSL team, the payer meeting, or the BD conversation.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Go deeper on one comparator's evidence gaps
When the landscape overview surfaces a gap that needs sharper definition.
```text wrap theme={null}
You identified that nivolumab has limited published data in the PD-L1-negative subgroup in second-line NSCLC. Search PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov for any ongoing or completed trials in this subgroup. What is the current trial landscape? When might data emerge?
```
### Build the payer positioning argument
When the competitive evidence brief needs to be translated into a value dossier section.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the evidence comparison, draft a 300-word payer positioning argument for our program versus pembrolizumab in PD-L1-high second-line NSCLC. Lead with the clinical differentiation supported by data, acknowledge where the evidence is comparable, and frame the remaining uncertainty honestly.
```
### Update the brief for a new data readout
When new trial data has been published and you need to refresh the position.
```text wrap theme={null}
A new Phase 3 readout for pembrolizumab in second-line NSCLC was published last week. The DOI is [doi]. Update the relevant section of the competitive brief with the new data and tell me what changed in the competitive position.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the clinical question driving the analysis before listing comparators. "Payer positioning in first-line NSCLC" produces a different output from "MSL field preparation for a tumor board." The dimensions you list are what gets synthesized: if you leave them open, Anara covers a general range that may not match your need. For multi-indication programs, run one indication per session.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara searches the published record and the open academic index. It does not have access to unpublished trial data, conference presentations not yet in print, or internal competitor intelligence. The LOE and patent information comes from publicly reported timelines, which may differ from actual expiry dates by jurisdiction. Verify any claim you plan to state externally against the primary source.
### What to do with the output next
Circulate the brief as an internal working document. Medical affairs, legal, and regulatory review will determine what can be stated externally. Use the brief to identify which claims need primary source verification before the position is finalized. For ongoing monitoring, run a targeted update prompt against the same library folder when new data publishes rather than rebuilding the landscape from scratch.
# Size the patient population and clinical burden for a medical device program
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-device-market-sizing
Describe your device and the condition it addresses. Anara searches for current incidence and prevalence data, hospitalization rates, time on existing treatment, and the size of the target market in your key geographies. Returns a structured market sizing argument with source citations. For device startups and business development teams building the clinical and commercial case for a new program.
## 1. Describe the task
Your pitch requires a credible patient population estimate. How many patients need this device, where are they, and how long are they on current treatment before they reach you? The answer requires epidemiology data, hospital statistics, and clinical burden estimates scattered across published registries, CMS reports, and academic literature.
Anara can run the search across web and published sources in parallel. Name the device, the clinical condition, and the markets that matter. Anara finds current incidence and prevalence rates from published epidemiology and registry data, clinical burden estimates (hospitalization rates, days on mechanical ventilation, time to intervention), and the concentration of target patients by geography. Each figure is sourced and cited. No estimate is invented.
Here a co-founder at a phrenic nerve stimulation startup is building the ICU market sizing section of their Series A deck. Their device addresses ventilator weaning in ICU patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation.
```text wrap theme={null}
I'm building the market sizing section for a Series A pitch. Our device supports ventilator weaning in adult ICU patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (more than 7 days).
Find current data on:
1. The incidence rate of adult patients on mechanical ventilation in US ICUs per year
2. The proportion requiring prolonged ventilation (over 7 days)
3. US adult population data 2024-2025 for denominator calculations
4. Which hospitals in the US have the largest concentrated numbers of ICU beds in a single hospital
Search published epidemiology, CMS data, hospital-reported statistics, and any other current sources. Cite every figure. Do not estimate any number that is not reported in a source.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The prompt carries the research direction.
**Optional context**
* Target geographies beyond the US (EU, Japan, specific countries for international expansion).
* Competitive devices or procedures currently used for the same indication. Anara can find the published data on procedure volumes for the existing standard of care.
* The regulatory pathway you are pursuing (510(k), PMA, CE marking). This shapes which clinical burden data is most relevant to include.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured market sizing section organized by the dimensions you specified: incidence/prevalence figures with denominator context, clinical burden estimates (hospitalization rates, average treatment duration), geographic concentration data, and cited sources for every figure. The output is a working market sizing argument you can take directly into your pitch deck or clinical program documents. The citations let you verify each number before it goes to investors or a regulatory audience.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Identify where target patients are concentrated
When you need to know which hospital systems or regions have the highest concentration of your target patient.
```text wrap theme={null}
From the ICU data you found, identify which hospital systems in the US have the highest concentration of ICU beds per facility and the highest rates of prolonged mechanical ventilation admissions. Search for any published hospital quality data or CMS reports that break this down by facility size or system.
```
### Find current trials recruiting your target patient
When you want to show investors that the clinical development landscape is active without naming competitors.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search ClinicalTrials.gov for active or recruiting trials in adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation for more than 7 days in the ICU. Return the phase, enrollment status, sponsor, and primary endpoint for each. I want to see the clinical development activity in this space.
```
### Build the international market comparison
When your program has a second geography and you need the epidemiology to match.
```text wrap theme={null}
Run the same market sizing search for EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK). Find current incidence rates for prolonged mechanical ventilation in ICU patients, hospital ICU bed counts by country, and any published registry data on ventilator weaning outcomes. Cite all sources.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Specify the exact clinical definition: "prolonged mechanical ventilation over 7 days" returns different data than "ICU patients on mechanical ventilation." That precision determines whether the market is 50,000 patients or 500,000. Name specific data sources if you know them (CMS, published registry data, hospital quality reports): targeted sources produce more reliable figures than open-ended web search.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Published epidemiology data varies by study population, year, and geographic scope. A figure from European registry data may not translate directly to US incidence rates. Read the source methodology for any figure you plan to use in a pitch or regulatory document: caveats often matter (for example, ICU bed counts from one year may not reflect post-pandemic capacity changes). Device investors are sophisticated about epidemiology: unexpectedly precise or suspiciously round numbers will prompt follow-up questions.
### What to do with the output next
Pair the patient population figures with published procedure volume data for the competing standard of care (ask Anara to find this in a follow-up). Once you have both, the market opportunity framing becomes specific: X patients currently on Y procedure, your device replaces or supplements it in the subset who meet your indication. Save the sizing document as a note so you can update individual figures as newer data publishes without rebuilding the full analysis.
# Apply clinical classification criteria to a genomic variant from your guidance documents
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-genomic-variant-interpretation
Upload the relevant classification framework and the supporting evidence for a variant. Anara walks through each criterion, states what the evidence supports and what it does not, and returns a classification with the reasoning traceable to your uploaded documents. For clinical geneticists and genomics researchers who need a structured, auditable application of the classification framework.
## 1. Describe the task
ACMG/AMP classification requires working through multiple pathogenicity rule categories and up to 28 individual criteria. Done carefully, it takes 30 to 60 minutes per variant. Done in a rush, it produces classifications that do not hold up.
Anara applies the framework from your uploaded guidance documents to the variant and evidence you provide. It works through each criterion, states what the evidence supports and what it does not, and returns a classification with the reasoning at each step. If evidence is insufficient for a criterion, it says so.
Here a clinical geneticist at a diagnostic laboratory is classifying a CFTR variant for a patient with atypical cystic fibrosis phenotype, working through the ACMG/AMP framework with the published CFTR-specific classification guidance and population frequency data from gnomAD.
```text wrap theme={null}
I need to classify this CFTR variant: c.1521_1523delCTT (p.Phe508del). I have uploaded: the ACMG/AMP variant classification guidelines (Richards et al. 2015), the CFTR2 program classification guidance, and the relevant population frequency data from gnomAD v3.
Apply the ACMG/AMP criteria to this variant using only the uploaded documents and the data I have provided. Walk through each criterion category:
- PVS1 (null variant)
- PS1-PS4 (strong pathogenic)
- PM1-PM6 (moderate pathogenic)
- PP1-PP5 (supporting pathogenic)
- BA1, BS1-BS4, BP1-BP7 (benign criteria)
For each criterion, state whether it applies, does not apply, or whether the evidence is insufficient to evaluate. Give the reason for each decision with reference to the specific guideline text. State the final classification and the combination of criteria that produced it.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The classification framework as a PDF upload: ACMG/AMP criteria, InSiGHT position statement, disease-specific classification guidance, or the equivalent framework for your application.
* The variant data: genomic coordinates, transcript, protein change, and any available functional, population frequency, or segregation data.
**Optional context**
* Published case reports or functional studies relevant to this specific variant or the same codon. Anara incorporates them into the relevant criteria evaluation.
* Prior classifications of the same variant or closely related variants from ClinVar or your institution. Conflicting prior classifications are worth flagging in the reasoning.
## 3. What Anara creates
A criterion-by-criterion classification walk-through with the final ACMG/AMP classification and the combination of criteria that produced it. Each decision cites the guideline text and states whether the evidence meets the criterion, does not meet it, or is insufficient. The output is the documentation of reasoning, structured to support institutional review and match the documentation format required for reporting.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Apply pharmacogenomics classification guidance
When the variant affects drug metabolism rather than disease risk and requires a different framework.
```text wrap theme={null}
I need to apply CPIC pharmacogenomics classification to this SLCO1B1 variant in the context of simvastatin prescribing. I have uploaded the CPIC guideline for SLCO1B1 and simvastatin. Walk through the evidence and return the CPIC classification with the relevant activity score and prescribing implication.
```
### Flag criteria that need additional evidence
When the classification is uncertain and you want to know what data would resolve it.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the criteria you rated as insufficient evidence, tell me: what specific type of data would be needed to evaluate each criterion? What is the most practical source for each data type, and what change to the classification would each positive result produce?
```
### Compare this classification to a related variant
When a functionally similar variant has an established classification and you want to assess whether the reasoning transfers.
```text wrap theme={null}
The variant c.1521_1523delCTT is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508. Search my library for any prior classification documents that address this position or nearby in-frame deletions in CFTR. Does any prior reasoning for an adjacent variant carry over to this one under the PS1 or PM5 criteria?
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Provide the variant in both HGVS notation and a plain description of the change type (in-frame deletion, missense, splice variant). This reduces errors in the PVS1 evaluation. Listing the evidence you have before asking Anara to classify tells it which criteria are evaluable and which will default to insufficient evidence, which is faster than working through every criterion in sequence.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara applies the framework from the documents you upload. It does not access ClinVar, functional databases, or literature not in your library. If a relevant functional study or known database classification has not been uploaded, it is not in the assessment. For variants where the classification determines a clinical action, laboratory director review remains required. Anara is decision support for the workflow, not the classification itself.
### What to do with the output next
Use the criterion-by-criterion reasoning as the basis for CLIA variant classification documentation. Where criteria are marked insufficient evidence, document that status and flag the variant for reclassification if new data emerges. For variants of uncertain significance, the follow-up prompt on additional evidence types identifies whether a reclassification pathway exists or whether the uncertainty is stable.
# Write the discussion section of an IVD validation report from performance data
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-ivd-validation-writeup
Provide your raw performance data or summary statistics alongside the applicable CLSI or ICSH guideline. Anara writes the discussion section interpreting the results in clinical context, identifying any parameters outside acceptable limits, and citing the guideline criteria throughout. For clinical laboratory scientists and point-of-care coordinators producing regulatory-grade validation documentation.
## 1. Describe the task
You have run the validation study. You have the data: Bland-Altman comparison, coefficient of variation, Deming regression, commutability results. What you need is the written discussion section that interprets these results in clinical context, against the applicable guideline criteria, and in language appropriate for a regulatory-grade laboratory validation report.
Writing that section from raw statistics takes significant time: translating performance metrics into clinical language, mapping each result against the CLSI EP09 or EP15 criteria, characterizing what falls within acceptable limits and what does not. Anara can draft the section for you. You provide the data, the applicable guideline, and the analyzers being compared. Anara interprets the statistics against the guideline criteria, writes the discussion in formal laboratory reporting language, and flags any parameter outside the acceptable range.
The statistical accuracy of the input data is yours to verify. Anara interprets and writes from the data you provide; it does not reanalyze your raw data or recalculate your statistics. The discussion draft reflects the interpretation of the numbers you supply.
Here a clinical laboratory scientist is validating a new haemoglobin analyzer against the laboratory's current reference instrument and needs the discussion section for the validation report.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am writing the discussion section of a laboratory validation report comparing haemoglobin measurement on Analyzer B versus our reference Analyzer A. I have attached the following: (1) a summary of our raw data and statistical analysis including Bland-Altman bias, limits of agreement, Deming regression slope and intercept, and coefficient of variation results; (2) the applicable CLSI EP09-A3 guideline.
Write a discussion section for the laboratory validation report covering:
- Summary of the Bland-Altman bias and limits of agreement, interpreted against the guideline's acceptable bias criteria
- Deming regression findings and what the slope and intercept indicate about the relationship between the two analyzers
- Coefficient of variation results, interpreted against acceptable imprecision criteria
- Whether the overall performance supports validation of Analyzer B as a replacement for Analyzer A
- Any parameters outside acceptable limits, stated explicitly with the specific guideline criterion they fail
Use formal laboratory report language throughout. Reference the applicable CLSI EP09-A3 criteria by section for each interpretive statement.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your performance data summary or raw results, either attached or pasted into the chat.
* The applicable guideline or standard (CLSI EP09, CLSI EP15, ICSH, ISO 17025). Attach the relevant sections or note which guideline applies.
**Optional context**
* A completed example discussion section from a prior validation report. Anara matches the formal language conventions your laboratory uses.
* The clinical context for the analyte being validated. For example, whether the analyte is used for diagnostic decisions versus monitoring, which affects how tightly the bias and imprecision criteria apply.
## 3. What Anara creates
A formal discussion section covering each performance dimension you specified, interpreting results against the guideline criteria with named section references. Parameters within acceptable limits are characterized as meeting criteria. Parameters outside acceptable limits are named explicitly and the failing criterion is stated. The section is written in the formal language appropriate for a regulatory-grade laboratory validation document. You review the interpretation, verify it against your data tables, and file the section.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Write the conclusions section
When the discussion is complete and you need the formal conclusions to follow it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the discussion section you just wrote, draft the conclusions section for the validation report. State whether Analyzer B is validated for clinical use as a replacement for Analyzer A, with a one-sentence justification for each performance dimension assessed.
```
### Interpret a specific parameter more deeply
When one result needs a more detailed clinical interpretation than the main discussion provides.
```text wrap theme={null}
The limits of agreement for haemoglobin are wider than the guideline threshold. Write an additional paragraph interpreting the clinical significance of this finding: under what clinical circumstances would this level of agreement be acceptable, and under what circumstances would it require re-evaluation?
```
### Adapt the discussion for a second analyte from the same study
When the same validation run covered multiple analytes.
```text wrap theme={null}
The same validation run also assessed mean corpuscular volume. Here are the MCV statistics: [paste statistics]. Apply the same discussion structure to MCV, using the same guideline and the same formal report language.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the specific guideline and section numbers you want cited in the discussion. "CLSI EP09-A3" is more useful than "the applicable CLSI guideline" because it tells Anara exactly which document's criteria to apply for bias and regression interpretation. If your validation includes multiple performance tests from different guidelines (for example, EP09 for method comparison and EP15 for precision), list both in the prompt so the discussion applies the correct criteria to each section. Asking for parameters outside acceptable limits to be stated explicitly rather than hedged prevents the kind of softened language that can fail on regulatory review.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Read the interpretation against your own data tables before filing the section. Anara writes from the summary statistics you provide; if your summary contains a calculation error or a mislabeled result, the discussion will reflect that error. The interpretation of whether a result is within or outside acceptable limits is a clinical laboratory judgment that your laboratory's quality manager must confirm. The draft is a starting point for the discussion, not a regulatory determination.
### What to do with the output next
Integrate the discussion section into the full validation report document, following your laboratory's standard format. Have the section reviewed by the laboratory director or quality manager before the report is finalized. If the discussion identifies parameters outside acceptable limits, the report needs a formal plan for addressing those findings before Analyzer B is released for clinical use.
# Fill a regulatory appraisal table from a clinical study paper
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-mdr-appraisal-table
Attach a clinical study and a template of your EU MDR appraisal table, and Anara fills one complete table row using only what the paper actually reports. Every cell traces to a passage in the source. If the paper doesn't report an outcome, the cell stays blank. For the clinical evaluation where every data point has to defend itself.
## 1. Describe the task
EU MDR requires a clinical evaluation appraisal table where each row is one study and each cell traces back to the paper. Nothing inferred, nothing pulled from memory, nothing generalized from similar studies. If a cell contains a value the paper didn't state, the appraisal fails on review.
Anara fills one row at a time using only the attached paper. The workflow is the same for every study: you provide the table format, Anara reads the paper, Anara fills the row, and any cell that can't be filled from the paper stays blank. The constraint is the point.
Here a medical device company's clinical research scientist is writing the CER for a robotic cochlear implant navigation system and has 40 included papers to appraise against a fixed template.
```text wrap theme={null}
I'm filling out a clinical evaluation appraisal table for our EU MDR submission. Attached: one clinical study paper (PDF) and a screenshot of my appraisal table with the column headers and one example row I already completed.
For this paper, fill one complete row of the table using only what this paper reports. Match the format of the example row exactly. If an outcome or data point isn't reported in the paper, leave that cell blank. Do not fill gaps from other sources, from similar studies, or from general clinical knowledge.
For the "Outcomes" column specifically: one bullet per primary outcome, each bullet stating the outcome measure and the reported result verbatim. Include the statistical significance as reported (p-value, 95% CI, or "NS" if stated).
At the bottom of your response, quote the three passages from the paper you used as the main source for the row.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The clinical study paper as a PDF attachment or from your library.
* A screenshot or description of your appraisal table format, including column headers. Anara matches your structure exactly.
**Optional context**
* One or two rows you've already completed. Anara uses them to match your level of detail and your phrasing conventions.
* The device or intervention being evaluated, so Anara can flag passages about comparator devices or adjacent indications that might otherwise read as relevant.
## 3. What Anara creates
A single completed table row, formatted to match your template, with every cell traceable to the paper. Below the row, Anara quotes the specific passages it used so you can verify each data point before the row goes into your CER. Cells left blank are flagged with a short reason ("not reported" vs "not applicable"). The row is the audit-ready unit: paste it in, confirm the quoted passages, move to the next paper.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Write the discussion paragraph for this paper
Once the row is filled, turn it into the narrative discussion that accompanies the table entry.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write the discussion paragraph for this paper that pairs with the appraisal row you just filled. Keep the clinical evidence framing: what was studied, what was found, how applicable to our device's clinical claim. Cite the paper once, no speculation beyond what the paper reports.
```
### Compare this paper to the last three in the library
When you want to flag where this paper agrees or contradicts papers you've already appraised.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare the outcomes in this paper to the outcomes in the three most recent appraisal rows I've filled. Where do the effect sizes, study designs, or safety signals converge or diverge? Keep it factual, no recommendations.
```
### Catch an inferred value
If a cell looks too well-filled, ask Anara to prove it.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the "adverse event rate" cell you filled: quote the exact passage from the paper where this is reported. If the paper doesn't report this explicitly and you calculated or inferred it, clear the cell.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The constraint "use only what this paper reports" is the core instruction. Without it Anara completes the row by filling blanks with reasonable-sounding clinical knowledge, which is exactly what EU MDR prohibits. Restate the constraint even if it feels redundant. Asking for the three source passages at the bottom turns every row into a self-auditing unit, which is faster than reviewing against the PDF later.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Read the three source passages Anara quotes before you trust the row. A cell that looks well-filled but doesn't appear in the quoted passages is the failure mode to catch. This happens most often on secondary outcomes and adverse event counts, where the paper reports the data in a table Anara may have interpreted differently than you would. When in doubt, ask Anara to point to the specific figure or table number in the paper.
### What to do with the output next
Paste the row into your appraisal table, cross-check the three quoted passages, and move to the next paper. For a fixed-template CER the workflow holds across every paper in the bibliography, which is why it scales from a single study to several hundred. When the appraisal is complete, use the discussion paragraph follow-up to draft the narrative pass that accompanies the table.
# Interrogate your molecular target's mechanism of action across your paper collection
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-moa-library-interrogation
Upload a set of papers on a molecular target and ask Anara what the current mechanistic consensus is, where competing hypotheses diverge, which cell types and animal models are used, and which papers make specific mechanistic claims. Each answer cites the exact passage. For preclinical researchers building a mechanistic model across a curated literature set.
## 1. Describe the task
You have collected the papers on your target. The mechanism is distributed across them: one paper establishes the signaling pathway, another defines the cell types, a third proposes a competing hypothesis, and a fourth calls the animal model into question. Holding all of this simultaneously while writing a grant or a patent application is the part that takes weeks.
Anara reads across your paper collection and answers mechanistic questions directly, citing the passage that supports each answer. You interrogate the literature the way you would interrogate a colleague who had read all of it: ask about consensus, ask about where papers disagree, ask about specific experimental details from a specific figure, ask Anara to find the paper you remember reading but cannot place. The citations link back to the actual passages so you can verify every claim before it goes into your regulatory justification or your manuscript.
Here a gene therapy researcher has uploaded 200 papers on AAV vector biology and needs to establish the regulatory justification for relaxing replication-competent lentivirus testing in a four-plasmid production system.
```text wrap theme={null}
Across the papers in my library on AAV vector biology and lentiviral production systems, answer the following questions:
1. What is the current consensus on whether replication-competent lentivirus has been detected in four-plasmid production systems? Cite every paper that addresses this directly.
2. Which papers make the argument that RCL testing requirements could be relaxed for four-plasmid systems, and what is their evidence?
3. Are there any dissenting papers that argue against relaxation, and on what grounds?
For each answer, quote the specific passage and cite the document.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The papers on your target or system, in a folder in your library. The more complete the collection, the more comprehensive the mechanistic synthesis.
**Optional context**
* A list of the specific mechanistic questions you want answered. The Socratic format works best when you give Anara a question to answer rather than a topic to summarize.
* The regulatory or scientific context you are building toward: a grant application, an IND justification, a patent claim. This tells Anara which mechanistic details are load-bearing and which are background.
## 3. What Anara creates
A cited answer to each mechanistic question. Where papers agree, Anara synthesizes the consensus and cites each paper separately. Where they disagree, it presents each camp without merging them. The output is the mechanistic model you are building, grounded in the literature you have collected.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Interrogate a specific figure or result
When you want to verify a mechanistic claim against the primary data.
```text wrap theme={null}
In the Earley et al. paper in my library, which CDR residues are identified as making contact with the paratope in the structural analysis? Quote the methods section passage that describes this and the results passage that reports the specific residues.
```
### Find the paper you remember reading
When you know a paper exists but cannot place it.
```text wrap theme={null}
I remember reading a paper that argued against using the HEK293T cell line for certain AAV production applications because of integration risk. I think it was published in the last five years. Search my library first, and if it is not there, search the academic index.
```
### Map where the competing hypotheses diverge
When two mechanistic camps are present in your literature and you need to characterize the disagreement for a grant or manuscript.
```text wrap theme={null}
Some papers in my library argue that the primary mechanism involves direct receptor binding, while others argue for an indirect pathway through adaptor proteins. Identify the papers in each camp and characterize the specific experimental evidence each side uses to support its position. Do not synthesize them into a single account.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Ask specific mechanistic questions rather than broad summaries. "What does my library say about AAV biology?" produces an overview. "Which papers address AAV9 tropism in non-human primate CNS models and what do they report about peripheral off-target transduction?" produces a targeted, cited answer. For complex mechanisms, ask Anara to walk through each pathway step sequentially.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara matches questions to passages using semantic similarity. A retrieved passage may be adjacent rather than exactly on point. For any claim going into a regulatory submission or manuscript, read the cited passage yourself. When Anara's interpretation of a figure differs from your reading, say "that is not what Figure 3 shows, regenerate." Hallucination risk is highest for quantitative claims: verify specific numbers, p-values, and percentages against the primary text.
### What to do with the output next
Use the mechanistic map as the framework for your grant background or patent claims. Ask Anara to draft the background section using the map as an outline, citing each claim to the identified passage. For regulatory submissions, open each session with the constraint: "only use evidence from documents I have uploaded, do not draw on general scientific knowledge."
# Build a pharma or device compliance training script from your regulatory library
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-pharma-compliance-training
Upload the regulatory frameworks your training needs to cover, name your topics, and Anara drafts a complete compliance training script: structured, conversational, and grounded only in the documents you provide. It also checks your existing policies for consistency with the same framework. For commercial compliance consultants and regulatory training professionals who produce this content for every client engagement.
## 1. Describe the task
Every new client engagement starts with the same deliverable: a compliance training script covering the foundational regulations, tailored to the client's industry and audience. You have the regulatory documents and the topic list. The draft takes hours you do not have.
Anara can draft the script in one session. Name the audience, the topic list, the regulations to go deep on, and the constraints (length, conversational tone, no repetition except in summary). Anara works through the uploaded framework and writes a structured training script grounded in what the regulations actually say. As a follow-up, ask Anara to check your client's existing policy against the same regulatory library and flag inconsistencies before you train on it.
Here a US pharmaceutical commercial compliance consultant is preparing a training script for a pharma client on the foundational regulations governing interactions between pharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am drafting a compliance training script for a pharmaceutical company's commercial team. The US life sciences regulatory library is uploaded to my library. Draft a 30-45 minute training script covering these topics:
1. Overview of the legal framework: Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act as foundational regulations
2. Open Payments requirements and reporting obligations
3. Speaker program compliance under the PhRMA code
4. Fair market value principles for healthcare professional engagements
Go into specific detail on the AKS and FCA as the foundational regulations. The script should be structured by topic but conversational in register, never repeat content except in a brief closing summary, and be calibrated for a commercial sales and marketing audience, not a legal audience.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The regulatory framework documents in your library (US life sciences regulatory library, PhRMA code, ABPI code, EU MDR GSPRs, or the specific framework your training covers).
* Your topic list and approximate target length.
**Optional context**
* The client's existing policy document. Anara checks it for consistency with the regulatory library after drafting the script.
* Prior training scripts you want to match in structure or tone.
* The audience type (commercial sales, medical affairs, clinical team, executive leadership). Anara adjusts the register and the examples.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured training script, organized by topic, each section grounded in the regulatory documents you uploaded. Written in a conversational register for live delivery or a narrated slide program. Foundational regulations receive the detail depth you specified. The closing summary condenses key compliance obligations without repeating section content. The script is a working draft: edit it for client-specific examples and house style, then deliver it.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Check your client's existing policy for consistency
When you want to audit the client's current policy before you train on it.
```text wrap theme={null}
My client has provided their existing speaker program policy. It is uploaded as "Client SpeakerPolicy.pdf." Review it against the PhRMA code and the AKS requirements in my regulatory library. Flag any provisions that are inconsistent with the current regulatory guidance, any gaps where the policy does not address a required area, and any language that could be interpreted as permitting prohibited conduct.
```
### Adapt the script for a different jurisdiction
When the same client operates in markets with different regulatory frameworks.
```text wrap theme={null}
The training script we drafted covers US regulations. Adapt the speaker program section for a UK audience covered by the ABPI code rather than the PhRMA code. Keep the structure, replace the US-specific regulatory references with ABPI equivalents, and note where the two frameworks differ in what they permit.
```
### Draft an audit checklist from the SOPs
When your client has clinical or quality SOPs and needs a compliance audit checklist that maps to each one.
```text wrap theme={null}
The client has uploaded four SOP documents in the "QMS SOPs" folder. For each SOP, draft a five-question audit checklist. Each question should be answerable from the SOP text alone. Format the output as one checklist per SOP, with the SOP name as the header.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name which regulations you want covered in depth and which at summary level. Without this, Anara distributes coverage evenly, giving the AKS and FCA the same treatment as Open Payments when you need the opposite. The "never repeat content except in summary" instruction prevents restating earlier points in later sections, the most common structural problem in compliance scripts. Name the audience register explicitly: "commercial sales, not legal" produces different vocabulary than an unspecified professional audience.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara drafts from what your regulatory library contains. If the version in your library is not current, the script will reflect outdated requirements. Verify that your documents are the current effective versions before using the script with a client. For US life sciences, confirm whether the PhRMA code you uploaded is the 2022 revision: earlier versions have different provisions on speaker program documentation.
### What to do with the output next
Add client-specific examples and hypothetical scenarios before delivery: scripts that use the client's actual interaction types as examples are more effective than generic ones. Run the policy consistency check before the training, not after: gaps or inconsistencies in the client's existing policy need to be addressed in parallel with the training, not discovered by employees during it.
# Extract PICO data and GRADE quality scores from a clinical trial paper
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-pico-grade-extraction
Paste your PICO extraction schema, attach a clinical trial paper, and instruct Anara to extract only from the attached document. It returns a completed PICO table with GRADE quality scoring, every field traced to the source text, and blanks for anything not reported. For HEOR analysts, medical affairs teams, and regulatory writers who need extraction that stands up to audit.
## 1. Describe the task
The dossier requires a PICO extraction table for every included study. Each field must be traceable to the paper. If a field is not reported, the cell stays blank. You cannot fill gaps from memory, from similar trials, or from what the endpoint usually is in this indication. The constraint is the methodology.
Anara applies your extraction schema to the attached paper, reads only that document, and returns the completed table with a GRADE quality assessment. Fields the paper does not report are marked not reported. The constraint stated clearly in the prompt is what makes the output auditable.
Here a health economics and outcomes researcher at a pharmaceutical company is extracting PICO data and GRADE quality scores from a randomized controlled trial on a PCSK9 inhibitor for use in an indirect treatment comparison for a payer submission.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am extracting clinical trial data for a HEOR dossier. Attached is a single RCT paper. Apply my extraction schema below using ONLY the information in this paper. Do not use external knowledge, prior studies, or general clinical assumptions to fill any field. If a field is not reported in this paper, write "Not reported."
PICO schema:
- Population (inclusion/exclusion criteria, sample size, demographics)
- Intervention (drug, dose, regimen, duration)
- Comparator (active or placebo; dose and regimen)
- Primary outcomes (measure, result, 95% CI, p-value as reported)
- Secondary outcomes (list each with results as reported)
- Follow-up duration
- Study design and blinding
- Industry sponsorship (yes/no, which sponsor)
After the PICO table, provide a GRADE quality assessment: rate the evidence quality as high, moderate, low, or very low, and state the reason for any downgrade (risk of bias, indirectness, imprecision, inconsistency, publication bias).
At the bottom, quote the three passages from the paper that most directly support the primary outcome data.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The clinical trial paper as a PDF upload or from your library.
* Your PICO extraction schema. Paste it directly into the prompt.
**Optional context**
* One completed row from your existing extraction table. Anara matches the format and level of detail of your prior work.
* The indication or drug class. Helps Anara identify the primary outcome measure when the paper uses indication-specific terminology.
## 3. What Anara creates
A completed PICO extraction table drawn exclusively from the attached paper, with a GRADE quality assessment and three quoted source passages at the bottom for audit verification. Every filled field has a traceable basis in the text. Every unfilled field is marked not reported rather than inferred. The output is the audit-ready extraction unit you paste into your evidence table and verify against the quoted passages before the row enters the dossier.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Run GRADE quality ranking across a folder of papers
When you have completed single-paper extractions and want to synthesize quality across the evidence base.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have extracted PICO data from 15 RCTs in my library folder. Search across all 15 papers and rank them by GRADE evidence quality from high to very low. For the papers rated low or very low, summarize the main reasons for downgrade and note which limitation is most common across the set.
```
### Check a specific field against the source text
When a filled cell looks too precise and you want to confirm it came from the paper.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the "primary outcome result" cell you filled: quote the exact sentence from the paper that reports this value. If you derived the figure from a calculation or table rather than a verbatim statement, identify the specific table and row number.
```
### Compare outcomes across two included studies
When you need to flag heterogeneity before completing a meta-analysis input.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare the primary outcome measures and effect sizes in this paper to the paper I uploaded last session. Do they use the same outcome measure? Are the populations sufficiently similar for a direct comparison? Flag differences that would require adjustment in an indirect treatment comparison.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The constraint statement is the most important part of the prompt. Without "only use information from this paper," Anara may fill fields from general clinical knowledge when the paper is silent, producing a table that looks complete but is not traceable. State the fallback explicitly: "if not reported, write Not reported." The three source passages at the bottom make every row self-auditing.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reads the paper as text. If the primary outcome data is in a figure rather than a table, note this in the prompt: "the primary outcome data is in Figure 2, not in the results text." For GRADE assessments, Anara applies the framework from your uploaded guidance documents. It does not assess inconsistency across studies without access to the other papers; provide that context in the prompt if it affects the downgrade decision.
### What to do with the output next
Paste the row into your evidence table and verify the three quoted passages against the PDF before the row enters the dossier. Use the cross-paper GRADE ranking follow-up to identify which studies carry the most evidentiary weight.
# Draft a formal response to a regulatory authority question from your dossier
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/ls-regulatory-authority-response
Paste the authority's questions, reference the relevant dossier sections in your library, and Anara drafts a concise formal response to each one with cross-citations to the specific dossier section that supports it. Where a question is not fully addressed by your dossier, Anara flags the gap explicitly rather than confabulating an answer. For regulatory affairs professionals responding to EMA, FDA, or EU MDR authority questions.
## 1. Describe the task
The authority's questions arrive. Some are straightforward: the answer is in the clinical overview you already wrote. Some are harder: the question touches a gap that will need to be addressed directly rather than deflected.
Anara drafts the responses in one pass. You provide the questions and reference the dossier sections already in your library. For each question, Anara locates the supporting section, drafts a formal response in regulatory language, and cross-cites the specific section where the answer is grounded. Questions the dossier does not fully address are flagged explicitly, with a note on what additional documentation would be needed.
Here a regulatory consultant is responding to EMA authority questions on a generic drug's clinical overview, working in English from an Icelandic regulatory consulting context. The questions concern pediatric dosing justification, adverse event reporting, and bioequivalence study design.
```text wrap theme={null}
Below are the authority's questions from the assessment report. The clinical overview and supporting sections are already in my library. Draft a formal, concise response to each question. For each response, cross-cite the specific section of the overview that contains the supporting information. If a question is not fully addressed by the dossier as it stands, write "Dossier gap" and describe what the dossier currently states and what additional documentation would address the question.
Questions:
1. Please justify the proposed dosing regimen for the pediatric population aged 6-12.
2. Provide a comparison of the adverse event profile reported in the clinical studies versus the reference medicinal product.
3. Clarify the study design rationale for the bioequivalence study conducted under fed versus fasted conditions.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The dossier sections in your library. Reference the specific folder or documents that contain the relevant clinical, regulatory, and supporting information.
* The authority's questions, pasted verbatim.
**Optional context**
* The regulatory pathway and authority (EMA, FDA, MDR GSPR, MHRA). Anara calibrates the formal register and cross-citation format accordingly.
* Prior correspondence from earlier assessment rounds if the questions are follow-ups to previous responses.
## 3. What Anara creates
A formal response document with one response per question, each cross-citing the dossier section it draws from with a specific section reference (for example, "Clinical Overview Section 2.4.2"). Gaps are labeled explicitly and described with a short note on what would be needed to address them. The output is a working draft in regulatory prose that your team reviews, edits, and submits. The gap flags are as important as the responses: they identify which questions require additional data or analysis before the response can be finalized.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Write the gap remediation plan
When a dossier gap has been flagged and you need to brief your team on what is needed.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the gap flagged on the pediatric dosing question, write a two-paragraph briefing for the clinical team describing what the authority is asking for, what the current dossier states, and what type of additional documentation or study data would address the question. Keep the language direct.
```
### Translate the response into a second language
When your regulatory submission requires the response in a language other than the draft language.
```text wrap theme={null}
Translate the formal responses we just drafted into French, maintaining the regulatory register and the cross-citation format. Do not simplify the technical terminology.
```
### Check a response for consistency with prior submissions
When you want to confirm that the response is consistent with how similar questions were answered in a prior submission or related product dossier.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare the response we drafted to question 2 with the adverse event discussion in the prior submission for the reference medicinal product, which is already in my library. Tell me whether there are any inconsistencies in how we characterize the safety profile and flag any wording that contradicts what we previously stated.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The instruction "cross-cite the specific section that supports each answer" is essential. Without it, Anara writes responses that sound accurate but do not point to the dossier, making them harder to verify. Paste the authority's questions verbatim: their exact wording signals what they want, and Anara responds to that language specifically. For GSPR responses under EU MDR, name the specific requirement ("Annex I, Section 10.1(f)") and Anara frames the response accordingly.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara drafts responses grounded in what the dossier contains, not what you intended it to say. Read the cross-cited sections before finalizing: the authority will read the same sections, and any discrepancy between the response and the dossier text will be apparent. The gap flags are the most important output to review: a flagged question may have a partial answer elsewhere in the dossier that Anara did not locate if you did not reference the right folder.
### What to do with the output next
Use the draft as the starting point for your regulatory team's review, not as the final submission. Regulatory responses carry the submitter's professional responsibility. Edit the language, confirm the cross-citations, and address flagged gaps before sending. For multi-round assessments, save each response round as a note in your library so the prior-submission consistency check can access it in future rounds.
# Draft a medico-legal body-part narrative from stacked physician reports
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/medico-legal-narrative
Upload the medical records for a case and tell Anara which body part and injury date to focus on. Anara searches across all the uploaded reports for relevant findings, then drafts a chronological narrative paragraph grounded in what the records actually say. For medical evaluators and legal support professionals who produce written case histories from stacked documentation.
## 1. Describe the task
The medical file arrives the day before the assessment. It is three inches thick and you need to produce a narrative history for each affected body part, each one chronological, grounded in the records, and formatted for the clinical evaluation report. Reading through the full file to find every relevant mention of the left knee, across fifteen physician notes and two sets of deposition transcripts, is the work that takes hours.
Anara does this pass for you. Upload the records, specify the body part and the relevant date, and Anara searches across everything you have uploaded for findings related to that body part in that time frame. It drafts a chronological narrative in paragraph format, citing each finding to its source document. If a document mentions a treating physician whose records have not been uploaded, Anara flags the gap.
Each body part gets its own session. Do not mix body parts in one chat. The workflow holds for any medico-legal setting where the evaluator must produce a written synthesis from stacked records.
Here a medical case analyst at a medico-legal assessment company has received a workers' compensation file with eight physician reports and needs a narrative history for the right shoulder before tomorrow's assessment.
```text wrap theme={null}
I need a medico-legal narrative history for the right shoulder. The injury date is March 14, 2022. My library contains the full medical file for this case.
Search all uploaded documents for any findings related to the right shoulder, diagnoses, imaging results, treatment notes, functional limitations, and physician opinions, that fall before and after the injury date. Draft a clear, chronological, strictly prose narrative covering the pre-injury history, the acute injury findings, and the treatment course to the present date. Do not use bullet points or headers. Cite each finding to its source document. If any physician or report referenced in the documents is not in my library, flag it at the end.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* All available medical records for the case, uploaded to your library or a case-specific folder. The more complete the record set, the more comprehensive the narrative.
**Optional context**
* A note specifying the relevant injury date, the case type (workers' compensation, personal injury, disability evaluation), and any apportionment parameters that should inform the narrative framing.
* The reporting format expected in your jurisdiction or organization, if it differs from a standard chronological paragraph.
## 3. What Anara creates
A chronological prose narrative covering every finding related to the specified body part in the uploaded records, from earliest history through the most recent note, with each claim attributed to its source. Missing records are flagged at the end. The output is what you would produce after a thorough file review, in a fraction of the time.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Draft the functional impact summary
Once the narrative is complete, summarize the functional limitations for the report.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the narrative you just drafted and the records in my library, produce a functional impact summary for the right shoulder. List five self-modifications the patient reports making to daily activities, five physical restrictions documented by treating physicians, and five occupational activities that appear incompatible with the documented limitations. Keep each item to one sentence.
```
### Run the apportionment analysis
When the case requires a formal division of causation.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the records you reviewed, provide an apportionment analysis for the right shoulder. Identify the findings that pre-date the industrial injury and those that post-date it. Describe what the records say about the relative contribution of pre-existing conditions versus the industrial injury to the current clinical picture. Cite the specific passages used.
```
### Check for a missing record
When a physician is referenced in the file but their report has not been uploaded.
```text wrap theme={null}
The narrative flagged a reference to Dr. Kaur's orthopedic evaluation from November 2022. That report is not in my library. Based on the other documents, what findings about the right shoulder from that time period are documented elsewhere that can stand in until I locate the Kaur report?
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Specify the body part by name and side. Run one body part per chat. Include the injury date as the temporal anchor: without it, Anara cannot frame findings as pre-injury and post-injury, which is the framing evaluation reports require. Ask for "strictly prose, no bullet points" explicitly. Ask Anara to flag missing records at the end rather than mid-narrative.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara may miss findings described obliquely: a radiology report mentioning a shoulder finding without naming the shoulder in the header may not be retrieved. After Anara drafts the narrative, check any record you know contains something important. If Anara missed it, paste the passage and ask it to incorporate the finding at the appropriate chronological position.
### What to do with the output next
Review the draft against the source records. For any sentence where the attribution feels wrong, ask Anara to quote the exact passage so you can verify the wording before it enters the report. Once accurate, copy the narrative into your report template. Run the functional impact follow-up as a separate request so the two outputs remain independently revisable.
# Write a cited research note from your library and save it
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/note-writing-from-library
Ask Anara to create a note on a specific topic from your uploaded papers. Every claim in the note carries a citation badge you can click through to the source passage. The note opens in the split-screen editor alongside your library. For researchers who want the output of a literature conversation saved as a citable, editable document they can return to.
## 1. Describe the task
You have been chatting with Anara about a topic across several sessions. The answers are useful, but they live in chat transcripts you cannot revisit or build on. What you need is the same synthesis, but saved as a note: structured, cited, editable, and available in the next session without having to reconstruct the context.
Anara can write that note for you directly from your library. You name the topic, scope it to a folder if you have one, and ask Anara to create a note. Anara searches your library, drafts the content with inline citations, and saves it to your workspace. The note opens in the split-screen editor with the library still available alongside it. Every citation badge in the note is clickable and takes you to the specific passage in the source PDF.
The note is a working document, not a final deliverable. You edit it, extend it, add follow-up queries to it over several sessions. Because the library stays in scope while the note is open, you can ask Anara to add a section while you are reading it, then continue editing yourself.
Here a PhD student in cognitive neuroscience has forty papers on decision-making under uncertainty uploaded and wants a research note she can use as the foundation for her literature review chapter.
```text wrap theme={null}
Create a note called "Decision-Making Under Uncertainty: Library Summary."
Write a structured research summary from my uploaded papers covering the following: (1) the main theoretical frameworks used to explain decision-making under uncertainty, (2) how these frameworks differ in their treatment of ambiguity versus risk, and (3) what the evidence base says about individual differences in uncertainty tolerance.
Use only papers in my library. Include an inline citation for every claim. For each section, identify any gaps in the evidence base where my library does not provide strong support.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A library with uploaded papers. Nothing to attach separately; the library is the source.
**Optional context**
* A folder to scope the search to. Anara covers all papers in that folder rather than sampling broadly from the library.
* An outline or section headings you want the note to follow. Anara uses your structure rather than generating its own.
## 3. What Anara creates
A note saved to your workspace with a structured synthesis of your library on the named topic. Each section covers one aspect of the topic you defined, and every claim cites the specific passage that supports it. The note opens in the split-screen editor so you can read and edit it alongside your library. The output is the starting document for a literature review chapter, a research memo, or a knowledge base entry you build on over time.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Add a new section to the existing note
When you want to extend the note without rewriting it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Add a new section to the note called "Methodological Approaches." Write 150 to 200 words covering the measurement methods used across the papers in my library to assess uncertainty tolerance, with citations. Append it after the third section.
```
### Open the note alongside a specific paper
When you want to work with the note and a source paper in split-screen at the same time.
```text wrap theme={null}
Open the note "Decision-Making Under Uncertainty: Library Summary" and the paper by Levy et al. in my library side by side. I want to read the paper and update the note with anything it adds that is not already covered.
```
### Export the note as a Word document
When the note is ready to move into your thesis template.
```text wrap theme={null}
Export the note "Decision-Making Under Uncertainty: Library Summary" as a Word document. Keep the section headers and the citation formatting.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The prompt must contain the words "create a note" for Anara to write to the workspace rather than return the output in chat. A prompt that says "write me a summary" produces a chat response you cannot save to the workspace. Naming the note explicitly ("call it X") means you can find it again in the sidebar and reference it by name in follow-up prompts. If you want the note organized by sub-topic rather than by paper, say so in the prompt. Anara defaults to a thematic structure when you describe the content areas, and to a paper-by-paper structure when you do not.
### Check the output against your own understanding
The note synthesizes across your library, which means claims can be drawn from papers you have weighted lightly in your own reading. Before treating a note section as settled, check the cited passages. If a claim in the note traces to a single paper rather than a pattern across several, decide whether it needs qualifying language ("one study found...") or whether you should find additional support before the chapter goes to review. The note is a first draft, not a final product.
### What to do with the output next
Keep the note open in the split-screen editor as you do subsequent research sessions. Ask Anara to add sections, update claims with newly imported papers, or flag gaps in the evidence base as your library grows. When the note is structurally complete, use the claim-verification workflow to audit any section you drafted yourself rather than asked Anara to write. Export to DOCX when you are ready to transfer the content into your thesis template.
# Write in the note editor and find supporting citations from your library as you draft
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/notes-cited-writing
Write your paper in the note editor. When you reach a claim that needs grounding, paste it into the chat and ask Anara to find the library passages that support it, then insert the citations into your note. Your words, your argument, your library as evidence. For researchers who write independently and use Anara for evidence support rather than text generation.
## 1. Describe the task
You write your own sentences. The argument is yours. What you want is the supporting passage from the right paper, cited at the right point in your note, without interrupting your writing flow to search for it manually.
Open a note in Anara and start writing. When you reach a claim you want to ground, paste it into the chat. Anara searches your uploaded papers for the passages that support it and inserts citation badges directly into the note. The note stays open and keeps building. The citations appear in place, linked to the original passage in the source PDF.
Here a PhD student in environmental studies is drafting a chapter on strategic environmental assessment, with a library of 90 papers uploaded. She writes her own analysis and uses Anara to find citations as she goes.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have this note open for my chapter on SEA effectiveness in climate policy integration. I have just written this paragraph and I want to ground it in my library before moving on:
"Despite widespread adoption of SEA in national planning frameworks, the relationship between procedural compliance and actual integration of climate considerations into plans remains insufficiently explored. The gap between formal requirements and substantive outcomes reflects a broader tension in regulatory governance literature."
Search my library for passages that support the claim about the gap between procedural compliance and substantive outcomes. Return the most relevant passages with citations. Then insert citation badges for the two strongest matches at the end of the second sentence in my note.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A note open in your workspace for the document you are drafting.
* The specific sentence or paragraph you want to ground, pasted into the chat.
**Optional context**
* The specific folder or set of papers you want to search. Without this, Anara searches your entire library.
* A note on what kind of support you are looking for: a paper that confirms the claim, one that provides the empirical basis for it, or one that frames the concept the claim draws on.
## 3. What Anara creates
A list of matched passages from your library, each with a clickable citation badge linking to the source document and page. For passages you approve, Anara inserts citation badges into the note at the point you specify. The note updates in real time. The output is a cited draft: your words, supported by passages you can verify by clicking through from the note. The citations are for the reader who checks your sources and for your own audit before submission.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Check whether a claim is actually supported
When you want a verdict before you commit to a citation.
```text wrap theme={null}
Before inserting the citation, tell me whether the passage from the Morrison et al. paper actually backs up the claim about procedural compliance, or whether it is only tangentially related. Quote the passage and explain why it does or does not support the specific claim I wrote.
```
### Find citations for the whole paragraph at once
When you want to check an entire paragraph rather than claim by claim.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is the full paragraph I just drafted. Search my library for passages that support each claim in it. Group the citations by claim and tell me which claims are well supported, which are only partially supported, and which have no support in my library.
```
### Write the next paragraph using library sources
When you want to draft forward from library evidence rather than your own analysis.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have finished the paragraph on procedural compliance. Now draft the next paragraph on what the literature says about factors that improve substantive SEA effectiveness. Use only papers in my library and cite every claim. Write in the same register as the paragraph I just finished.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Paste the specific sentence rather than describing it. Anara searches using the wording of the claim, and closer language returns more relevant passages. If you want citations inserted at a specific point in the note, name the location precisely: "after the second sentence in paragraph three" is more reliable than "somewhere in the paragraph." For claims using technical vocabulary, semantic search finds conceptually similar passages; request keyword mode if you need the exact term matched.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Citation badges link to the passage Anara matched, but semantic similarity does not mean the passage backs up your claim in the way you intend. Read the linked passage before you submit. A passage that discusses procedural compliance in a different regulatory context may appear as a match but does not support a claim about SEA in climate policy. The claim-verification workflow is the systematic version of this check: run it across the full chapter before submission.
### What to do with the output next
When the note is complete, use the claim-verification workflow to run a final audit: paste each paragraph and ask Anara to confirm every cited claim is supported by the passage it links to. The note can be exported as DOCX or PDF. Formatted citations for your reference list can be generated for all cited papers using the citation-generation workflow.
# Draft a long formal document with Anara alongside in the note editor
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/notes-professional-draft
Open a note for your report or brief and work through it with Anara section by section. Ask for a draft, push back, refine, move to the next section. Your library stays available throughout for citations. The note builds in real time as you write with an AI partner who tracks the whole document. For professionals who produce long structured documents on a recurring schedule.
## 1. Describe the task
A twenty-page report, a policy brief, a clinical assessment, a cabinet note. The blank note opens and the scope is already bigger than a chat can hold. You need a partner that stays with the whole document while you work through it section by section.
The note editor is that surface. You outline the document, ask Anara to draft a section, read what it produced, push back on the framing, ask for a revision, and keep going. The note builds as you go. Your library stays in scope the whole time, so a citation you need in section three is still available in section fourteen without a re-upload.
Here a government legal professional is drafting a cabinet submission on telecommunications regulation, working through a seven-section document over several sessions, each section thirty to eighty messages deep.
```text wrap theme={null}
I'm drafting a cabinet submission on proposed amendments to the Telecommunications Act. The document has seven sections: Executive Summary, Background and Context, Legal Framework, Stakeholder Positions, Risks and Mitigations, Recommendations, and Next Steps. I have a library of prior submissions, the current Act, and consultation responses uploaded.
Start with the Executive Summary. Keep it to 300 words, Westminster policy-brief tone, no bullet points, written for a minister who has thirty seconds. The key message is that the proposed amendments close a consumer protection gap without expanding the regulator's mandate. Draft it, then wait for my feedback before moving to the next section.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A note open in your library for the document you're drafting.
* The document structure: section headings, length targets, audience, tone.
**Optional context**
* Prior examples of the same document type in your library (last year's version, a peer's submission). Anara matches house style.
* Source materials relevant to the document (consultation responses, reference legislation, cited reports). Anara pulls citations directly as you draft.
## 3. What Anara creates
A section draft, then another section, then another. Each one respects the structure you defined, cites from your library where relevant, and holds the voice from previous sections so the document reads as one piece. The note serves as the working document you push back on, revise, and keep building. By the end of the session you have a structured draft ready for the formal review process, not a transcript of ideas to assemble later.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Push back on a draft
When the first pass is close but not there.
```text wrap theme={null}
The executive summary leans too hard on the regulatory gap framing and doesn't emphasise the consumer protection angle enough. Rewrite it so consumer protection is the lead, and keep the regulatory gap as the mechanism rather than the headline.
```
### Move to the next section with continuity
When you're ready to advance and want the document to hold together.
```text wrap theme={null}
The executive summary is good. Move to Background and Context. Keep the same tone. Reference the 2019 amendments and the two consultation rounds we just cited. Target 600 words, no bullet points.
```
### Check the whole draft against your library
When the document is nearly complete and you want every claim grounded.
```text wrap theme={null}
Go through the full draft we've built and flag any claim that needs a citation I haven't provided. For each one, search my library and suggest the best supporting source. Where the library doesn't cover it, tell me what I need to find.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
State the structure upfront. A seven-section document with defined lengths, audience, and tone produces a coherent draft. "Help me with a policy brief" produces generic output. Name the document type (cabinet submission, 10-K filing, patient assessment, DSF statement) so Anara matches the conventions your readers expect. Section-by-section is faster than asking for the full document at once, because you can catch a wrong framing before it propagates.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara holds your voice and structure well but doesn't know your reader the way you do. You know that your minister reads the first two sentences and the recommendations, that your partner signs off only after checking the footnotes, that your client expects the audit findings in a specific order. Correct the draft where it misses those conventions, and Anara carries the correction forward.
### What to do with the output next
Export the note to DOCX when the draft is structurally complete. The final review pass, the stakeholder sign-offs, and any formatting to house template happens outside Anara. The value Anara adds is in the hours you otherwise spend staring at a blank section header. Use the citation audit follow-up before export to catch any claim that still needs grounding.
# Set up your research library and run your first cross-paper query
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/onboarding-library-setup
Describe your research topic and Anara finds relevant papers, proposes imports you approve, creates a project folder, and runs your first query across everything at once. The ten-minute setup that makes everything else in Anara work. For researchers starting a new project or moving an existing one into Anara for the first time.
## 1. Describe the task
Anara is most useful when it has your papers. The problem is that uploading papers one by one, naming folders, and then figuring out what to ask first takes long enough that many researchers skip the setup and go straight to questions. Answers to questions without a library are generic. Answers grounded in your actual papers are specific and citable.
This setup prompt does the work in one pass. You describe your topic and what you are trying to produce. Anara searches for papers in the academic index, proposes a set of imports, creates a folder for your project, and runs the first meaningful query across the imported papers. By the end you have a working research library and at least one substantive answer.
Organizing papers into a folder before asking questions dramatically improves result quality. Anara can scope searches to a folder, which means it covers all the papers in that folder rather than sampling from your entire library. Without the folder, results from a large library can drift toward papers you uploaded for other projects.
Here a master's student in public health is starting a systematic review on school-based mental health interventions and needs to build the evidence library from scratch.
```text wrap theme={null}
I'm starting a systematic review on school-based mental health interventions for adolescents aged 12 to 18. I'm looking for peer-reviewed papers from the last ten years, with priority on RCTs and systematic reviews.
Step 1: Search for the fifteen most relevant papers on this topic from your academic index. Show me the titles, authors, year, and a one-sentence abstract summary for each.
Step 2: After I approve which papers to import, create a folder called "School Mental Health Interventions" and place the imported papers there.
Step 3: Once the papers are imported, run this first query: what are the most common outcome measures used across these interventions, and which studies report the strongest effect sizes?
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The setup prompt carries the setup.
**Optional context**
* A specific database to search first (PubMed, bioRxiv). Anara searches these before the general academic index if you name them.
* Papers you already have uploaded elsewhere. Tell Anara which folder they are in so it can move them or include them in the new project folder.
## 3. What Anara creates
A proposed list of papers for you to review and approve, a project folder, and the first substantive answer to a cross-library question. The setup itself is the deliverable. What follows is a research library organized for your project, which makes every subsequent query faster and more specific. You do not have to repeat the setup; the folder persists across sessions.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Filter the proposal
When Anara's paper list includes studies that do not fit your inclusion criteria.
```text wrap theme={null}
From the proposed imports, remove any papers that are not empirical studies. Keep only papers that report primary data, not reviews or commentaries. Show me the revised list before importing.
```
### Set up a second folder for a related sub-topic
When your project has a sub-topic that benefits from its own search scope.
```text wrap theme={null}
Create a second folder called "Measurement Tools" for papers that specifically develop or validate scales used in adolescent mental health research. Search for five relevant papers and propose imports.
```
### Ask the first research question
When the library is set up and you are ready to start the actual literature work.
```text wrap theme={null}
Across all papers in my "School Mental Health Interventions" folder, which interventions show consistent effects across multiple studies, and which have conflicting findings? Cite the specific papers for each pattern you identify.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Naming a database alongside a topic tells Anara to search that source first rather than the general academic index. For clinical and biomedical topics, naming PubMed directly produces results that are better filtered to peer-reviewed medical literature. For preprints and emerging work, naming bioRxiv or medRxiv targets those servers specifically. If you want papers from a specific time window, state the year range in the prompt. The academic index covers 240 million papers and returns the most relevant without a date filter; adding one narrows results to the window that matters for your review.
### Check the output against your own understanding
You approve which papers get imported. Read the one-sentence abstracts in the proposal before confirming. Anara retrieves papers with verified DOIs and confirmed PDF availability, but relevance is a judgment call only you can make for your specific research question. If the proposals miss an important paper you already know, add it by DOI after the initial import. If the proposals include papers at the wrong level of specificity (too broad, too narrow), adjust the query before the next batch.
### What to do with the output next
Once the folder is set up, it stays available across all your sessions with Anara. You do not need to re-upload papers each time. Subsequent queries can be scoped to this folder directly: "search only in my School Mental Health Interventions folder." When you add new papers later, import them into the same folder and they become part of every subsequent query automatically.
# Find, import, and organize papers on your research topic
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/paper-discovery
Describe the topic you are building a bibliography for and Anara searches a 240-million-paper academic index, returns real papers with verified DOIs, and proposes a set for you to approve and import. Every result is a paper that exists. For researchers starting a new project or filling gaps in an existing library.
## 1. Describe the task
A new project means a new literature hunt. You could spend a morning in Google Scholar, opening tabs, chasing citations, losing track of what you already have. Or you could describe what you are trying to build and let Anara run the search.
Anara searches a 240-million-paper academic index covering peer-reviewed publications from every major field, alongside PubMed, bioRxiv, and medRxiv for biomedical and life sciences topics. It returns papers that actually exist: each result comes with a verified DOI, a PDF availability flag confirmed at search time, and the information you need to judge relevance before importing. When you are ready, Anara proposes a set of papers to import and you approve which ones go into your library. Nothing is added without your review.
The workflow is an entry point. The papers you import here are what every subsequent research conversation draws from. A clean, well-organized starting library changes the quality of every question you ask afterward.
Here a master's student in public health is starting a systematic literature review on salt reduction policy interventions in low-income countries and needs a working bibliography before her proposal meeting.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am starting a literature review on dietary salt reduction policies in low-income and middle-income countries. I need peer-reviewed papers covering: (1) population-level sodium reduction interventions, (2) industry reformulation agreements, and (3) health outcome data from published trials or national programs. Focus on papers from the last ten years. Search PubMed and the general academic index. Return up to 20 papers sorted by relevance, with a one-sentence summary of what each one covers.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The prompt carries it.
**Optional context**
* Key authors or research groups you already know are relevant. Anara prioritizes papers from named sources.
* Specific journals or databases you want to include or exclude.
* A date range if you want only recent publications or only foundational older work.
## 3. What Anara creates
A ranked list of real papers, each with title, authors, year, DOI, and a brief relevance note. Papers with PDFs confirmed available are flagged so you know which ones you can import directly. You review the list, select the papers you want, and Anara imports them into your library. From that point, every chat about your topic can draw from this library with grounded citations.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Find the most-cited papers on this topic
When you want to anchor your review in the foundational literature before looking at recent work.
```text wrap theme={null}
Find the five most-cited papers on population-level salt reduction interventions published before 2015. I want the papers that shaped the field, not the most recent ones.
```
### Search for papers that cite a specific study
When you have found a key paper and want to trace what built on it.
```text wrap theme={null}
Find papers that cite the 2010 Bibbins-Domingo et al. paper on sodium intake and cardiovascular risk. Show me which directions the subsequent literature has taken.
```
### Organize imports into a folder
Once the papers are in your library, give them a home before you start working with them.
```text wrap theme={null}
Create a folder called "Salt Reduction Review" and move all the papers I just imported into it. Then run a quick summary across the folder so I can see what I have before I start reading.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Describe the argument or question you are building toward, not the topic alone. "Find papers on salt reduction" returns a broad set. "Find papers on the effectiveness of industry reformulation agreements as a salt reduction mechanism in low-income countries" returns a narrower, more targeted set that is directly usable. If you are building a systematic review, include the PICO framing in your search prompt: it structures the query the same way your eventual inclusion criteria will be structured. For biomedical topics, name PubMed explicitly and Anara will prioritize that index.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara returns real papers with verified DOIs. It will not generate a paper that does not exist. What it may do is return papers that are adjacent to what you need rather than directly on point. Read the one-sentence relevance summaries before approving imports. If a paper looks off-topic from the summary, ask Anara to quote the abstract before you add it to your library. Papers with no PDF available can still be imported as metadata entries, but the full text will not be searchable until you add the PDF manually.
### What to do with the output next
Once your import is approved and the papers are in your library, run the cross-library search: ask Anara what the collected papers say about your central research question. This turns the bibliography from a list into a working literature you can question. If you are building toward a systematic review, the next step is systematic extraction: apply a fixed data extraction template to each paper one at a time.
# Search PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov for your biomedical research question
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/pubmed-search
Describe your clinical or biomedical research question and Anara searches PubMed, bioRxiv, and ClinicalTrials.gov in one pass, returning papers with abstracts, PDF availability, and trial data you can import directly. No account needed. For researchers who need real citations from live biomedical databases, not a general web search.
## 1. Describe the task
You need papers on a specific clinical topic and you need to know they are real, peer-reviewed, and importable. Searching PubMed manually works, but it does not aggregate across preprint servers or trial registries in a single query, and every found paper becomes another tab to track.
Anara searches PubMed, bioRxiv, and ClinicalTrials.gov from a single prompt. It returns papers with abstracts, publication details, and a flag for which ones have open-access PDFs you can import directly to your library. Trial data from ClinicalTrials.gov includes the phase, enrollment status, and sponsor, so you can see where the clinical evidence is versus where trials are still underway. No paper is hallucinated: if it is not in the index, it will not appear.
Here a graduate student in clinical nutrition is building a literature base on time-restricted eating interventions in patients with metabolic syndrome and needs recent peer-reviewed trials alongside any trials currently recruiting.
```text wrap theme={null}
I'm building a literature base for my thesis on time-restricted eating interventions in adults with metabolic syndrome. Search PubMed and bioRxiv for peer-reviewed studies and preprints on this topic from the past five years. Prioritize randomized controlled trials over reviews. Return up to 15 results with the abstract, publication year, and whether the PDF is available to import.
Then search ClinicalTrials.gov for any trials currently recruiting or active in this area. Return trial name, phase, status, sponsor, and a link.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The prompt carries the search.
**Optional context**
* Specific filters: date range, study design (RCT, cohort, meta-analysis), open access only.
* Named sources: if you specifically need PubMed rather than bioRxiv, or need ClinicalTrials.gov data first, say so and Anara prioritizes that database.
* A list of authors or journals you consider high-quality in your field. Anara can filter toward them.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured results list organized by source: PubMed papers first, bioRxiv preprints labeled as not peer-reviewed, and ClinicalTrials.gov entries last. Each paper includes the abstract, PDF availability status, and a DOI or landing page link. The output is a first-pass bibliography you can review and import from in one step: papers with confirmed open-access PDFs can be added to your library immediately. The results are for building your reading list, not for citing directly until you have read the papers.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Import the most relevant papers to your library
When you have reviewed the results and want to bring the confirmed papers into Anara for deeper reading.
```text wrap theme={null}
Import the five papers I marked as most relevant from the search results. Put them in a folder called "TRE Metabolic Syndrome." Flag which ones have full-text PDFs available versus abstract only.
```
### Go deeper on the clinical trials
When you want more detail on the active or recruiting trials before your literature review is final.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the three recruiting trials you returned, pull the full trial record including the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the primary outcome measure and its timeframe, and what the intervention protocol specifies. I want to know whether any of them have published interim results.
```
### Search for a specific author's recent work
When you know a researcher whose work is central to your topic and want a full picture of their recent output.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search PubMed for papers by [first author name] published since 2020 on time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting. Return all papers with abstracts and citation counts where available. Flag which ones are available as open-access PDFs.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Be specific about study design when you know what you need. "Find RCTs on X" returns a different set than "find papers on X." If your field uses specific vocabulary (a disease classification system, a named intervention protocol, a measurement instrument), include those terms: biomedical databases use controlled vocabulary and the exact term produces sharper results than a paraphrase. If you need papers from a specific journal, name the journal and Anara filters to it.
### Check the output against your own understanding
PubMed has 30 million records: the search returns what the index holds for your query, which means a very broad query returns many papers, some only tangentially relevant. Read the abstracts before deciding what to import. Papers marked "abstract only" have no open-access full text confirmed in the index, but many are accessible via your institution's journal access. For preprints from bioRxiv, check whether a peer-reviewed version has since been published before citing.
### What to do with the output next
Import the papers you want to read and organize them into a named folder. Once they are in your library, the cross-library search and systematic extraction tiles become available for the set. For any trial from ClinicalTrials.gov that interests you, follow the link to the full trial record to check whether interim results or protocol amendments have been posted since the index was last updated.
# Synthesize interview transcripts or field reports from multiple research sites
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/qualitative-synthesis
Upload field reports, interview transcripts, or evaluation documents from multiple sites, clients, or research phases. Ask Anara to build a comparative table, identify gaps and patterns across the set, and pull verbatim quotes organized by theme. For qualitative researchers and consultants who produce structured synthesis deliverables from primary research.
## 1. Describe the task
You have four reports from four hospital branches, or eight evaluation documents from eight program sites, or twelve interview transcripts from twelve participants. Each one is structured differently. Together they are supposed to add up to a client-facing synthesis that explains what the pattern is and where the gaps are.
Anara can take the whole set and build the comparative structure across it. Upload the documents to a folder, name the dimensions you want to compare, and Anara produces a table organized by site and dimension, pulls the verbatim quotes that support each cell, and writes the synthesis paragraph identifying where the evidence converges and where it does not. You give it the documents and the frame. It executes the comparison.
Here a market research consultant has completed six customer journey research interviews at six hospital branches for a healthcare client and needs to identify service quality gaps by branch and by journey stage.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have uploaded six customer journey research reports for six hospital branches. I need a structured synthesis for my client.
Build a comparative table with these rows and columns:
- Rows: each of the six branches (use the branch name from the document title)
- Columns: Registration, Waiting Room, Consultation, Discharge
For each cell, summarize the key service quality issues reported by respondents. After the table, pull three to five verbatim quotes per column that illustrate the most common gap across branches. Then write a two-paragraph synthesis identifying the two or three service issues that appear across the most branches and the one branch that performs differently from the others.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The research documents in a named folder. Name the folder explicitly in your prompt.
* The comparison dimensions: what rows and columns you want. Without these, Anara will choose its own structure.
**Optional context**
* A conceptual framework you want to apply (SERVQUAL, the four-component evaluation model, a custom rubric). Anara organizes the synthesis around it.
* A note on what the client wants to know most. Anara can orient the synthesis toward the key question rather than treating all dimensions equally.
## 3. What Anara creates
A comparative table organized by your specified dimensions, with one cell per intersection summarizing what the evidence shows. Below the table, verbatim quotes grouped by theme. Closing synthesis paragraphs identifying the cross-site patterns and the outlier. The synthesis is what you hand to the client after editing: a structured account of what the research shows, grounded in the documents you uploaded, with the quotes available for the appendix.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Pull all quotes on a specific theme
When a pattern in the table needs more evidence depth than the summary cells provide.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the Waiting Room column, pull every passage from all six reports where respondents described waiting time or waiting area experience. Give me the raw quotes in full, labeled by branch. I want to see the full range of what was said before I write the analysis.
```
### Write the recommendations section
When the synthesis is complete and you need the client-facing action items.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the synthesis table and the identified gaps, draft a three-recommendation section for the client report. Each recommendation should name the specific service gap it addresses, the branches most affected, and what a service improvement would look like in concrete terms. Keep the language direct and specific, not generic.
```
### Check for contradictions across sites
When a pattern seems consistent but you want to confirm no sites reported the opposite.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the Registration column, are there any reports where respondents described registration as positive or efficient? I want to know whether the gap I identified is universal across all branches or whether any outlier sites have addressed it.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the rows and columns explicitly. "Compare the six reports" leaves structure to Anara. "Rows are branches, columns are journey stages" produces a table you can paste directly into your report. If your comparison framework has a name (SERVQUAL, OECD evaluation criteria, a client-specific rubric), include it: Anara applies the framework's categories rather than generating its own.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara builds the table from what the documents contain, not from your interpretation of what the documents mean. If a cell in the table looks thin, it may mean the relevant document did not address that dimension explicitly, or it may mean the evidence is there but phrased differently than the column heading suggests. For any cell that feels wrong, ask Anara to show you all the passages in that document that relate to that dimension. The verbatim pull is the ground truth; the table summary is Anara's interpretation of it.
### What to do with the output next
Use the comparative table as the backbone of your client report. Edit the cell summaries in your own analytical voice: Anara's output is a working draft with the structure done, not finished client copy. Verbatim quotes belong in an appendix or as footnotes. For multi-phase projects where new site reports arrive after the initial synthesis, use the contradiction check to test whether the new evidence changes the pattern before final delivery.
# Get up to speed on an unfamiliar domain before your client deadline
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/rapid-domain-onboarding
Upload the documents your client gave you and tell Anara what you need to understand and by when. Anara reads across all the files, explains what each covers, flags where they conflict, and gives you the working knowledge to begin the engagement. For consultants and specialists asked to handle a topic outside their core expertise.
## 1. Describe the task
The client brief arrived on Thursday. The engagement starts Monday. The domain is not your specialization. You have fifteen regulatory documents, a technical specification, and three prior reports. Reading all of them in four days is not realistic. Showing up without the foundational knowledge is worse.
Anara does the initial reading pass. Upload the documents, describe what the engagement requires you to know, and ask Anara to map what each document covers, where the key requirements sit, and where documents conflict. The constraint matters: Anara reads only what you upload. It does not fill gaps with general knowledge. You cannot afford hallucinated regulatory standards.
Here a civil engineering consultant has been asked to evaluate a water quality screening framework for a California county project and has received fifteen documents covering federal analyte thresholds, state implementation standards, county-level procedures, and a prior engineering report.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have been asked to evaluate a water quality analyte screening framework for a California county project. I need enough working knowledge to lead the client kickoff on Monday. I have uploaded 15 documents my client provided.
For each document, tell me: what it is, what it covers, and which section is most critical for understanding the screening framework. Then identify the three most important regulatory requirements across the set and flag any conflicts or ambiguities between documents that I need to resolve before I can advise the client.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The documents your client or project provided. Upload all of them. Anara reads across the full set.
* What the engagement requires you to do: the deliverable, the audience, and the timeline.
**Optional context**
* Your existing knowledge of adjacent areas. Telling Anara what you already understand lets it focus on the gaps rather than covering ground you have already covered.
* Specific questions the client has already raised. If there is a known controversy or contested interpretation, flag it so Anara watches for relevant content while reading.
## 3. What Anara creates
A document-by-document orientation map covering what each file is, what it contains, and which sections carry the most weight for your engagement. The synthesis identifies the key requirements, flags conflicts, and surfaces ambiguities you need to resolve. The output is the minimum working knowledge you need to begin the engagement with confidence rather than guessing.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Drill into the most contested area
When the overview surfaces a conflict or an ambiguity you need to understand before Monday.
```text wrap theme={null}
You flagged a conflict between the federal threshold table and the county implementation guidance on analyte X. Walk me through what each document says, what the practical difference is for my client, and what question I should ask the client contact to resolve it.
```
### Prepare your client kickoff questions
When you need to show up with informed questions rather than a blank page.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on what you read across these documents, what are the five most important clarifying questions I should ask in the kickoff meeting? Frame them as the questions a knowledgeable consultant would ask, not as gaps in my understanding.
```
### Identify what is missing
When the document set looks incomplete and you want to know what else you should have before the engagement begins.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the documents I uploaded, what documents or data are referenced but absent? What additional materials should I request from the client before I can give them reliable advice?
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The more specific you are about the deliverable, the more focused the reading. "Help me understand these documents" produces a broad summary. "I need to know which regulatory thresholds apply to chlorinated solvents in groundwater under California Water Code Section 13267" produces a targeted answer. Name the engagement type, the output audience, and the specific questions the client is paying you to answer.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reads only what you upload. If a critical regulation is referenced in a document but not in the uploaded set, Anara will flag the reference but cannot tell you what it says. For high-stakes regulatory engagements, verify any requirement that will become actionable advice against the primary source before advising.
### What to do with the output next
Use the orientation map as your working brief. Before the kickoff, read the highest-priority sections Anara identifies in each document. The flag list of conflicts and ambiguities becomes your clarifying questions. After the kickoff, return to the same documents with the questions that emerged from the meeting. Anara retains the documents in your library throughout the engagement so each session builds on the last.
# Turn a folder of lecture slides into a study guide for your exam
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/study-notes-from-lectures
Upload a set of lecture slides or PDFs from your course and Anara produces organized study notes covering key concepts, definitions, and relationships across all of them. Ask for plain-language explanations or technical depth, depending on how well you already know the material. For students who need to get a full semester of content into their head before a deadline.
## 1. Describe the task
The exam is in four days. You have nine weeks of lecture slides and you attended most of the sessions but the notes you took are patchy. Reading through all of it linearly will take longer than you have. What you need is not a summary of each slide deck individually but a coherent guide that tells you what you actually need to know and how it all fits together.
Anara reads across all the uploaded slides and produces study notes organized by concept rather than by week. It identifies the definitions that come up repeatedly, the relationships between topics that span multiple lectures, and anything that looks like it belongs in an "important for exam" category based on how much emphasis the slides give it. You can ask for plain language if the material is new to you, or for technical precision if you are consolidating understanding rather than learning from scratch.
Here a graduate student in materials science has uploaded twelve weeks of lecture PDFs on hydrogel synthesis and needs to review everything the course covered before her practical exam.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have uploaded twelve weeks of lecture slides from my graduate course on hydrogel synthesis and characterization. Please read all of them and create structured study notes covering: the main classes of hydrogels and their synthesis routes, key characterization techniques and what each one measures, the relationship between crosslink density and mechanical properties, and any formulas or parameters that appear more than once across the slides. Write the notes in technical language appropriate for a graduate student. Where slides use a term without defining it, flag that term.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The lecture slides, uploaded as PDFs or as a folder in your library.
**Optional context**
* The exam format, if you know it. "The exam is essay-based" produces different notes than "the exam is multiple-choice with calculation problems."
* A topic list or learning objectives from the course syllabus. Anara checks whether the notes cover each stated objective.
* Any topics you already understand well and want Anara to treat as background rather than covering in full.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured study guide organized by concept. Each section covers a defined topic, with the definition, the relationships to other topics in the course, and any formulas or parameters introduced in the slides. The guide is the version you read instead of the slides, not alongside them. It is what you use in the final review session, and it becomes searchable once it is saved as a note: you can ask Anara follow-up questions about any section without reopening the original PDFs.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Generate practice questions from the notes
When the study guide is ready and you want to test yourself.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate 15 practice questions from these study notes, covering the main synthesis routes and characterization techniques. Mix multiple-choice and short-answer questions. For each question, include the answer and reference the section of the notes it comes from.
```
### Explain a concept in plain language
When a section of the notes is too dense and you need a different angle.
```text wrap theme={null}
Explain the relationship between crosslink density and swelling ratio as if I understand basic polymer chemistry but have not studied hydrogels specifically. Use an analogy if it helps.
```
### Compare two topics the course covered side by side
When you need to understand the difference and the slides never put them next to each other.
```text wrap theme={null}
Compare sol-gel crosslinking and photoinitiated crosslinking on the following dimensions: mechanism, typical reagents, control over crosslink density, and applications where each is preferred. Use only what is in the slides.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the things you want covered explicitly. "Summarize the course" produces an overview. A prompt naming specific topics, techniques, and question types produces something you can study from. If the course has learning objectives, paste them into the prompt: Anara organizes the notes around them rather than defaulting to week-by-week slide order. Adding "flag any term used without definition" catches gaps before the exam does.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reads the text content of your slides. If a key point was made verbally and the slide only shows a diagram, that point may not appear in the notes. Where the notes feel thin on a topic covered heavily in class, check whether those slides were diagram-heavy. Describe a key figure to Anara if the concept lives primarily in a visual. Check whether any PDF uploaded with rendering issues: image-only slides without selectable text produce weaker notes.
### What to do with the output next
Save the study guide as a note once complete. You can then ask questions directly: "what does the notes section on characterization say about rheology?" Run practice questions the day before the exam, not the day of. Identify the topics where your answers are weakest and ask Anara to go deeper on those sections specifically.
# Run your extraction template across every paper in a folder
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/summary-table-batch
Point Anara at a folder of twenty, forty, or a hundred papers and run the same structured extraction across all of them at once. Anara returns a combined table, one row per paper, populated from the sources you uploaded. For the moment you have finalized a template and just need it applied at scale.
## 1. Describe the task
You already know the template. Title, authors, year, sample, intervention, outcome measures, effect size, limitations. You have run it one paper at a time for the first ten and it works. You have sixty papers left and no appetite to open sixty more chats.
Anara runs the same extraction across every paper in a folder and returns a single combined table. You define the template once, point Anara at the folder, and get back rows populated from each source with citations. This is a Deep Search workflow, so it requires the Max plan.
Here a PhD candidate doing a systematic review on compassion fatigue interventions in healthcare has a folder of sixty included studies and a ten-field extraction schema already validated on her first batch.
```text wrap theme={null}
I need to run my extraction template across every paper in my "Compassion Fatigue SR - Included" folder. It has 60 papers. Use Deep Search across the folder so this runs in parallel.
For each paper, extract these fields:
- Title
- First author and year
- Country and healthcare setting (ICU, primary care, oncology, etc.)
- Study design (RCT, quasi-experimental, qualitative)
- Sample size and population
- Intervention description (what was done, duration, dose)
- Primary outcome measure and scale used
- Effect size with confidence interval if reported
- Key limitations noted by the authors
- Risk of bias rating (using Cochrane RoB 2 if reported, otherwise leave blank)
Return a single combined table with one row per paper. Where a field is not reported in the paper, leave the cell blank and do not infer. At the end, flag any paper where three or more fields came back blank so I can review whether it belongs in the review at all.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A folder in your library containing the papers you want to extract from.
* The full extraction template, stated in the prompt or pasted from a completed example row.
**Optional context**
* One or two already-completed rows as examples. Anara matches your phrasing and level of detail.
* Your inclusion criteria document. If any papers look like they do not fit, Anara flags them with a note.
## 3. What Anara creates
A single combined extraction table with one row per paper in the folder. Each cell is populated from the paper or left blank with an explicit "not reported" note. The output is the raw material for your systematic review results table, ready to paste into your analysis software or dissertation appendix. Papers that triggered the blank-field threshold get flagged at the bottom so you can triage inclusion decisions before the analysis phase.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Dig into one paper that looks off
When a row comes back with unexpected values or too many blanks.
```text wrap theme={null}
Row 23 (the Johnson et al. 2019 paper) has the effect size missing and an unusual sample description. Open that paper specifically and tell me what the paper reports about the primary outcome, why you left effect size blank, and whether this paper should be excluded on methodological grounds.
```
### Turn the table into the results section
When the extraction is clean and you are ready to draft.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the combined extraction table, draft the Results section for my systematic review. Structure it as: sample characteristics across studies, intervention types, primary outcome effects, and risk of bias summary. Use PRISMA-style reporting. Cite every claim to the row it came from.
```
### Correct a field across the whole table
When you realize one of the template fields was interpreted differently than you intended.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the "healthcare setting" column, I want you to re-extract across all 60 papers using a stricter definition: only use ICU, ED, oncology ward, or primary care as the four allowed values. Anything else, put "other" and note what the paper actually described.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
State the template fields explicitly and name the expected format for each. "Effect size with confidence interval if reported" produces structured output; "effect size" alone produces inconsistent formatting across rows. Tell Anara what to do with missing data up front ("leave blank, do not infer"), otherwise it may fill gaps with plausible-sounding values that are not in the paper. For folders over thirty papers, consider splitting into sub-folders of ten to fifteen and running separately. Deep Search parallelizes across a folder but does not guarantee full coverage at very large sizes.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Spot-check five rows against the source papers before trusting the full table. Pick the two papers you know best, one paper where the extraction looks suspiciously clean, and two papers chosen at random. If those five match what the papers actually report, the remaining rows are likely reliable. If any of the five have a cell that does not match the paper, run that row again on its own and ask Anara to quote the source passage for each field.
### What to do with the output next
Paste the combined table into your review's analysis software or dissertation document. For Cochrane-style reviews, the flagged "three or more blanks" papers need a manual decision before the analysis phase. For narrative reviews, the combined table becomes the backbone of your Results section, which the follow-up prompt can draft directly. Save the extraction conversation itself as a note so you can re-run the same template across additional papers added to the folder later.
# Extract study characteristics from each paper in your systematic review
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/systematic-extraction
Define your extraction schema once, attach a paper, and Anara fills every field using only what the paper reports. Study type, sample size, intervention, outcomes, limitations: all populated from the source, with passages quoted so you can verify. For systematic reviewers working through a bibliography one paper at a time.
## 1. Describe the task
You have an inclusion list and a schema. What you do not have is time. Working through forty papers by hand, field by field, is where systematic reviews stall: not in the search or the screening, but in the extraction.
Anara can take one paper and a defined schema and fill every extractable field from what the paper actually reports. Any field the paper does not address stays blank. Nothing is inferred from general clinical knowledge. The output quotes the passages it used, so you can check each entry before it goes into your review log.
Here a PhD student in public health has 62 included papers for a systematic review on physical activity interventions in adolescents, a fixed eight-field extraction template, and is working through one paper per session.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am conducting a systematic review on physical activity interventions in adolescents aged 10-18. I have a fixed extraction schema. For the attached paper, fill in every field below using only what the paper reports. If a field is not addressed, write "Not reported." Do not infer or generalize from other studies.
Fields to extract:
- Study design
- Sample size and population
- Country
- Intervention type and duration
- Control condition
- Primary outcome measure and result
- Secondary outcomes
- Limitations stated by the authors
At the bottom, quote the three passages from the paper you relied on most heavily for the outcomes fields.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The paper as a PDF attachment or imported to your library.
* Your extraction schema: the field names and any specific definitions you use (for example, what counts as a "physical activity intervention" in your protocol).
**Optional context**
* One or two rows you have already completed. Anara matches the level of detail and field format you established.
* Your inclusion/exclusion criteria. Helps Anara flag anything that might affect the paper's applicability before you extract from it.
## 3. What Anara creates
A completed extraction table row, one field per line, drawn strictly from the attached paper. Below the row, Anara quotes the specific passages it used for the outcome fields, so you can verify each data point before it goes into your review. Fields the paper does not address are labeled "Not reported" to keep the log consistent across papers. The row is the unit you paste into your extraction spreadsheet and move on from.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Screen an abstract before you commit to importing
When you want to apply inclusion and exclusion criteria to an abstract before pulling the full paper.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is an abstract from a paper I am deciding whether to include. Apply my criteria below and tell me: include, exclude, or uncertain. Give a one-sentence rationale for each criterion that applies.
Inclusion criteria: RCT or quasi-experimental design, adolescent population (10-18), physical activity as primary intervention, published 2010 or later.
Exclusion criteria: clinical population only, no control group, conference abstract.
Abstract: [paste abstract text here]
```
### Run the same extraction across a full folder
When you are ready to move from one paper at a time to batch processing across a folder.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have a folder called "Included Studies" with 20 papers ready for extraction. Use Deep Search to run the same extraction schema across every paper in this folder and return one completed row per paper. Flag any paper where a field could not be reliably extracted. Use only what each paper reports.
Extraction fields: [paste your schema here]
```
### Compare two papers on a contested outcome
When two included papers report the same outcome differently and you want to understand the divergence.
```text wrap theme={null}
Two papers in my extraction log report physical activity frequency as a primary outcome but arrive at different effect estimates. Pull the relevant passages from both papers and tell me whether the difference is likely explained by measurement approach, population, or something else the papers name explicitly.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The phrase "using only what the paper reports" is the load-bearing instruction. Without it, Anara fills gaps with background clinical knowledge, which is exactly what systematic review methodology prohibits. Restate it each session even if it feels redundant. Asking for the three quoted passages at the bottom of the response turns every extraction into a self-auditing unit: you are not reviewing the entry against the paper later, you are reviewing the quoted passages against the entry right now.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara reads papers at the passage level and may miss data reported in tables, supplementary appendices, or figure legends. The outcome field is the most common failure point. If a primary outcome result looks wrong, check the paper's tables and figures directly. For anything entering a published review, verify key quantitative fields against the source before they leave your log.
### What to do with the output next
Paste each completed row into your extraction spreadsheet immediately. Reviewing the quoted passages is the quality step, and it is most useful right after extraction, not hours later. When your log is complete, use the follow-up comparison prompt to investigate outcomes where two papers diverge in ways your protocol did not anticipate.
# Screen abstracts against your inclusion criteria before you import
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/systematic-screening
Paste your inclusion and exclusion criteria alongside an abstract and Anara returns a decision: include, exclude, or uncertain, with a brief rationale citing which criterion applies. Work through your shortlist before committing to full-text import. For systematic reviewers at the abstract screening stage who want a consistent, documented decision for each paper.
## 1. Describe the task
Abstract screening is the most repetitive phase of a systematic review. You have a shortlist of two hundred abstracts from your database search. Each one needs a decision: include for full-text review, exclude, or set aside as uncertain. The criteria are fixed. The decisions pile up.
Anara applies your inclusion and exclusion criteria to each abstract you give it and returns a documented decision. The decision names which criterion was triggered and why. The rationale is yours to review, accept, or override. Anara does not make the final call; you do. What Anara produces is a consistent, criterion-level record for each abstract that you would otherwise have to write from scratch.
Keep in mind that Anara is not a replacement for specialist tools like Rayyan or Covidence at the scale of a ten-thousand-record database export. At that scale, deduplication and batch processing are the bottleneck, and dedicated screening tools are built for it. Anara handles the focused case: the shortlist you have already narrowed down, where you want a documented decision and rationale for each abstract before committing to full-text imports.
Here a public health PhD student is screening sixty-three abstracts for a systematic review on compassion fatigue interventions in emergency service workers.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am screening abstracts for a systematic review on compassion fatigue interventions in emergency service workers. My inclusion and exclusion criteria are:
Inclusion: peer-reviewed empirical studies, participants are emergency service workers (police, fire, paramedics, or similar), intervention addresses compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress, published 2010 or later.
Exclusion: case studies or anecdotal reports, participants are exclusively healthcare workers (not emergency services), no measurable outcome reported, non-English language.
Apply these criteria to the following abstract. Return: decision (Include / Exclude / Uncertain), which criteria drove the decision, and one sentence explaining the judgment.
[Paste the abstract here]
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your inclusion and exclusion criteria, stated clearly.
* The abstract or set of abstracts to screen.
**Optional context**
* One or two already-decided examples (an include and an exclude from the same review). Gives Anara a calibration reference for how you are applying the criteria in practice.
* Your PICO framework if you have one. Anara can apply population, intervention, comparator, and outcome constraints directly alongside your written criteria.
## 3. What Anara creates
A screening decision for each abstract, with the criterion that drove the decision named explicitly and a one-sentence rationale. The output is the record you need to document your screening process. For uncertain decisions, Anara flags the specific criterion that is ambiguous so you can apply your own judgment to that dimension. The decisions are consistent across abstracts because the criteria are applied from the same prompt each time.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Screen a batch of ten at once
When you have a stack of abstracts to work through and want to run them together.
```text wrap theme={null}
Apply the same screening criteria to the following ten abstracts. Return a numbered list: each abstract number, the decision (Include / Exclude / Uncertain), and the one-sentence rationale. Flag any abstract where the decision is uncertain and explain which criterion is unclear.
[Paste ten abstracts, numbered 1 through 10]
```
### Resolve an uncertain decision
When an abstract landed as uncertain and you want to think through the criterion more carefully.
```text wrap theme={null}
Abstract 7 was flagged as uncertain because the participant population includes both emergency services workers and healthcare workers without separate reporting. Does the abstract give enough information to apply the population criterion? What would I need from the full text to make a definite decision?
```
### Log the screening decisions as a note
When you want a running record of decisions from the session.
```text wrap theme={null}
Save all the screening decisions from this session as a note called "Screening Log: Compassion Fatigue Review." Format as a table: abstract number, title (from the abstract), decision, and rationale.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
State each inclusion criterion on a separate line. Criteria written as a single paragraph are harder for Anara to apply individually, and the rationale in the output will be less specific about which criterion triggered the decision. Use "Include / Exclude / Uncertain" as the decision vocabulary explicitly so the output is consistent across abstracts. If your criteria have edge cases you already know about (for example, studies where emergency service workers are a subgroup of a larger clinical sample), name the edge case in the criteria so Anara has a rule to apply rather than a judgment to make.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Abstract screening is a human judgment call that Anara supports but does not replace. Abstracts are written to include certain information and omit others. A criterion that requires "measurable outcome reported" may be impossible to apply from the abstract alone if the authors described the intervention without reporting results. When Anara flags an abstract as uncertain, treat that as a cue for full-text review rather than an automatic exclude. The final screening decisions are yours; Anara produces a consistent documented draft, not a binding verdict.
### What to do with the output next
Save the screening log at the end of each session and move directly to importing the included abstracts for full-text review. For papers marked Uncertain, add them to a separate folder for full-text review before making the final decision. When the screening is complete, use the systematic extraction workflow to pull structured data from each included paper using a PICO extraction template.
# Prep discussion questions and learning objectives from your seminar readings
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/teaching-prep
Upload your assigned readings and describe your class and what you want students to come away with. Anara generates discussion questions tied to the specific arguments in those texts, not generic topic prompts, alongside learning objectives and a suggested arc for the session. For faculty and teaching assistants preparing seminars from primary sources.
## 1. Describe the task
Generic discussion questions do not get students to engage with what the texts actually argue. "What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach?" works in almost any seminar on almost any topic. The questions that produce real discussion are the ones that require students to have read the specific argument in the specific text.
Anara generates discussion questions from the actual content of the readings you upload. The questions are grounded in passages: a student who has not done the reading cannot answer them in generalities. You also get learning objectives calibrated to the level you name and a discussion arc that sequences the questions across a session.
Here a faculty member in political theory is preparing a graduate seminar on democratic legitimacy and has assigned three papers by Habermas, Benhabib, and Cohen for next week's class.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am preparing a graduate seminar on theories of democratic deliberation. The assigned readings for next week are three papers by Habermas, Benhabib, and Cohen, all uploaded to my library.
Generate five discussion questions that require engagement with the specific arguments in these texts. Each question should name the concept or passage it is drawing from. Then write three learning objectives for the session, appropriate for a PhD-level seminar. Finally, suggest a 90-minute discussion arc that sequences the five questions and allows time for student responses.
The session goal: students should be able to articulate where these three theorists agree on the normative conditions for legitimate deliberation and where they diverge on what counts as a valid reason.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The assigned readings in your library, in a folder or uploaded directly.
* The level and type of class (undergraduate survey, graduate seminar, PhD workshop).
**Optional context**
* A session goal or learning outcome you want the discussion to reach. Anara orients the arc toward it.
* Any theoretical tension or debate you want students to grapple with. Anara builds questions around it rather than leaving the structure generic.
## 3. What Anara creates
Five discussion questions grounded in specific arguments from the assigned texts, each naming the concept or author position it comes from. Three learning objectives calibrated to the class level. A suggested 90-minute discussion arc with timing notes and transitions. The output is your prep sheet: you edit the questions and use the arc as a guide. What it is for: making the reading-to-discussion step faster for seminars you teach on a recurring schedule.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Draft a short opening mini-lecture
When you want to frame the session before discussion opens.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write a 10-minute opening lecture framing the core tension between Habermas and Cohen on what counts as a valid reason in deliberative democracy. The lecture should set up the first discussion question and give students who did not finish the readings enough context to participate. Keep it accessible but do not oversimplify the theoretical stakes.
```
### Generate a response paper prompt
When you want an assessment that requires engagement with the texts.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write a response paper prompt for this seminar. 600-800 words. Students take a position on whether Benhabib's expansion of the deliberative ideal improves on Habermas or departs from its core logic. Students must cite at least two specific passages from the assigned readings.
```
### Adapt the questions for an undergraduate course
When you teach the same material at multiple levels and need the difficulty calibrated differently.
```text wrap theme={null}
Take the five discussion questions you generated for the PhD seminar and adapt them for an upper-division undergraduate course. Keep the core theoretical content but remove the jargon and replace named-theory references with plain-language descriptions of the concepts. The students will have read the Habermas excerpt only, not the full paper.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
State the session goal before asking for questions. A seminar goal like "students should be able to articulate where the theorists agree and diverge on valid reasons" produces questions that converge on that outcome. Without a goal, the questions cover the readings broadly but without structure. Name the class level too: a PhD seminar question and an undergraduate question are different registers, and Anara calibrates accordingly.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara generates questions from the passages it retrieves, which means it emphasizes the arguments it finds most prominent in the text. Your seminar may have a different emphasis: a passage you consider theoretically central may not surface at the top of a semantic search. Read through the five questions and check whether they cover the aspects of the readings you most want students to discuss. Swap or refocus any question that misses the key tension in your teaching of the material.
### What to do with the output next
Use the discussion arc as a planning document, not a script. Edit the timing based on how your students actually engage. The questions work best reformulated in your own voice: reading Anara's output verbatim tends to sound more formal than the format benefits from. The response paper prompt generates an assessment you can assign as-is or revise; it pairs naturally with the citation workflow to show students how to ground claims in specific passages.
# Audit a technical document against the papers that support its claims
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/technical-audit
Upload a technical report and the source papers it draws on. Ask Anara to be critical: verify that every factual claim can be confirmed by the cited literature, flag what cannot be verified, and tell you where the report overstates or departs from what the sources actually say. For teams that produce technical documentation from primary research and need the claims to hold up to scrutiny.
## 1. Describe the task
The report is written. The sources are uploaded. Before it goes to the client, the regulator, or the review committee, someone needs to check whether what the report claims is actually what the papers show.
Anara can be that critical reader. Upload the report and the source literature in a folder, then ask Anara to go through the report's factual claims one by one and check each against the papers. It flags claims it cannot verify, marks passages where the report overstates or simplifies what the source says, and quotes the specific paper passages that either confirm or contradict the report's language. Nothing is assumed accurate until it is traced to a source.
Here a cosmetic science team at a specialty hair technology company is preparing to publish a technical report on pH-dependent hair fiber reshaping. They have uploaded five source papers and a draft report, and need the claims verified before it goes out.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is a technical report on acidic pH hair reshaping mechanisms. Be critical of it. The source papers it references are already uploaded in my "Hair Chemistry Sources" folder.
Go through the report's factual claims in order. For each claim:
- Find the passage in the source papers that it is based on
- Tell me whether the claim accurately reflects what the paper states
- Flag any claim that overstates, simplifies, or cannot be verified from the uploaded sources
Do not accept the report's characterization of a paper. Go to the paper itself and check.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The technical report you want to audit (uploaded to your library or as a chat attachment).
* The source papers in a named folder. Anara searches the folder, not your entire library.
**Optional context**
* Any claims you already suspect are problematic. Naming them lets Anara prioritize those sections first.
* The intended audience for the report (regulatory submission, client deliverable, journal submission). This helps Anara calibrate what level of precision the claims need to meet.
## 3. What Anara creates
A claim-by-claim audit organized in the order the claims appear in the report. Each entry states the claim, quotes the relevant passage from the source paper, and gives a verdict: verified, partially verified (with what the source actually says), or not found in uploaded sources. The audit is the internal quality check you run before the report leaves your team. Where Anara cannot verify a claim, that is a signal to either find a better source or revise the language before distribution.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Revise a flagged claim
When a claim is flagged as overstated, draft a corrected version that stays within what the source supports.
```text wrap theme={null}
The claim flagged in section 3 about supercontraction rates overstates what the Smith et al. paper reports. Rewrite that sentence using only what that paper actually states, keeping the original meaning as close as possible.
```
### Check whether a missing source exists
When a claim in the report is plausible but not supported by the uploaded papers.
```text wrap theme={null}
The report claims that disulfide bond reformation at low pH is reversible within 24 hours. None of the uploaded papers confirm this. Search the academic literature for papers that support or contradict this claim. Return the most relevant results with abstracts.
```
### Confirm the document's overall accuracy rate
When the audit is complete and you want a summary for stakeholders.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the audit we just completed, what percentage of the report's factual claims were fully verified, partially verified, or not found? Give me a brief summary I can include in the document review log.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The critical instruction "go to the paper itself and check" is the most important phrase in the prompt. Without it, Anara tends to verify claims by reasoning about what is plausible rather than by looking for the specific passage. Naming the folder explicitly ensures Anara searches only your curated source set and does not supplement with library documents from other projects. For reports with domain-specific vocabulary, include a note in the prompt: "terms like 'elongation set' and 'supercontraction' are specific to this field; treat them as technical terms, not general descriptions."
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara searches for passages that semantically match the claim being checked. A passage can be thematically adjacent without being the specific quantitative result the report cites. The failure mode to watch for: a claim about a specific measurement (a percentage, a timeframe, a statistical result) that is flagged as verified based on a qualitative passage that only describes the phenomenon generally. For quantitative claims, read the quoted passage yourself and confirm it includes the specific number the report states.
### What to do with the output next
Use the audit log as the final QA step before distribution. All flagged claims should be resolved before the document leaves your team: either find a supporting source or revise the language to match what the uploaded papers actually say. For reports going to regulatory audiences, the audit log itself may be worth retaining as part of the document review record: it shows that claims were checked against primary sources before submission.
# Extract the scope and requirements from a procurement or contract document
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/tender-extraction
Upload a tender specification, service contract, or procurement document and ask Anara to pull exactly what applies to your trade, your SLAs, or your obligations. It returns a structured scope with flagged ambiguities, not a summary of the whole document. For contractors, consultants, and contract managers who need the relevant sections fast and accurately.
## 1. Describe the task
The specification is 400 pages. Your scope is in 30 of them, but you do not know which 30 without reading all 400. Or you have a contract that needs interrogating: the SLA thresholds, the reporting requirements, the insurance obligations, the exit terms, and you need them before tomorrow.
Anara reads the document and returns only what applies to your question. For scope extraction, it identifies the sections relevant to your trade or role and flags ambiguous cases that could affect your bid or your delivery. For contract interrogation, it answers your specific questions with citations to the exact clause. The document is large. The reading time is not.
Here a Canadian painting contractor has a construction specification for a hospital renovation project and needs to identify all field-applied paint scope items before building a bid quote, excluding factory and shop-applied finishes.
```text wrap theme={null}
This is a construction specification for a hospital renovation. I need to extract the scope for field-applied painting only.
Before extracting, verify: Is this specification for field-applied painting (applied on-site by painters) or factory and shop-applied finishes? If anything is unclear, flag it.
Then extract only the field-applied painting scope items. For each item, note the surface type, the specified product or product type, the number of coats, and any surface preparation requirements. Return as a structured list. Flag any items where the field versus factory distinction is ambiguous.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The tender specification, contract, or procurement document as a PDF upload or from your library.
* Your role or trade, and what you need to know from the document.
**Optional context**
* A list of the specific questions you need answered. For contract interrogation, the more specific the question, the more precise the answer.
* A prior version of the same document type. Anara can identify what changed between versions, which matters when you are bidding on a project with prior history.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured extraction of the scope or contract terms relevant to your question, with citations to the specific sections so you can verify each item. Ambiguous cases are flagged separately for clarification before you bid or sign. The output is working material: the scope list you build your bid from, or the contract summary you take into the negotiation.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Answer a set of contract questions directly
When you need targeted answers from a service contract rather than a scope extraction.
```text wrap theme={null}
Answer these questions from the contract document. Cite the clause number for each answer.
1. What is the contract term and are there extension options?
2. What are the reporting requirements and how frequently must reports be submitted?
3. What insurance levels are required?
4. What are the SLA thresholds for response time and resolution?
5. What are the grounds and notice period for termination?
```
### Generate a formal bid quote from the extracted scope
When the scope extraction is complete and you need to turn it into a submission document.
```text wrap theme={null}
Using the painting scope I have extracted, generate a formal bid quote for the hospital renovation project. Include: the project name, scope description, unit quantities where calculable, unit rates (I will fill in the numbers), and a total line. Format it as a submission document.
```
### Check for conflicts between the specification and the contract
When you have both a specification and a service agreement and want to know where they diverge.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have uploaded both the technical specification and the master services agreement for this project. Identify any points where they conflict on scope, timeline, or obligations. Flag each conflict with the relevant clause from each document.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Start with a boundary-definition question before extracting. "Is this field-applied or shop-applied?" before a painting scope extraction, or "does this contract include force majeure provisions?" before an obligations review, confirms you are reading the right document for your question. Name the exclusions explicitly: if factory finishes are not your concern, say so. Anara will not infer it.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara extracts what the document says. It does not know trade conventions for specification language, local interpretation of standards, or the history of ambiguous clauses with this client. When Anara flags an ambiguous item, the flag reflects what the document says, not what the client intended. For flagged items on a significant bid, request clarification rather than interpreting in your favor.
### What to do with the output next
Build your quantities from the extracted scope, apply your rates, and use the bid quote follow-up prompt to generate the formatted submission document. For contract interrogation outputs, circulate the summary to whoever needs to sign off before execution. Keep the source document in your Anara library folder so any future scope question can be answered without re-uploading.
# Write a therapy group session note from your clinical protocols
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/therapy-note
Describe the session activity, the group structure, and any notable moments. Anara references your uploaded treatment protocols and produces a formal third-person clinical note in the format your program uses. One brief description in, one structured clinical record out. For behavioral health clinicians who write group notes after every session and need to do it consistently.
## 1. Describe the task
Every group session produces a note. The activity, the structure, the participation level, the clinical relevance to the treatment framework. Written in third-person clinical language, formatted to the standards your program requires, and completed before the next session begins.
The note takes twenty minutes written from scratch. It takes five minutes with Anara when your treatment protocols are in your library. You describe what happened in the session, Anara references the protocol document for the correct note format and clinical framework, and returns a formal note ready for the clinical record. You review, adjust any detail that needs changing, and file it.
The differentiator from a generic AI writing tool is the library. Anara references the treatment framework, the note format, and the therapeutic rationale from documents you have already uploaded, so the note reflects your program's specific clinical language rather than a generic template.
Here a therapist at a substance use treatment program has her group curriculum, session protocols, and note format guidelines uploaded to her library and runs groups three times a week.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write a group therapy session note for the following session. Reference my uploaded group curriculum and note format guidelines for the correct structure and clinical language.
Session details:
Program: Substance Use Recovery Group, Week 4
Activity: "Hot Potato" with therapeutic questions. A ball was passed while music played. When the music stopped, the person holding the ball answered one of three rotating questions: (1) What is your substance of choice? (2) What is the most difficult consequence of your use? (3) What is one thing you are doing differently this week?
Group size: 8 participants
Notable moments: One participant disclosed for the first time. Two others provided peer support. One participant passed the question, which was accepted without pressure.
Format the note in third-person clinical language. Include the therapeutic rationale for the activity grounded in the program framework in my library.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your treatment protocols, group curriculum, or note format guidelines, uploaded to your library.
**Optional context**
* A completed example note from a prior session. Anara matches your note structure and clinical phrasing conventions.
* The specific therapeutic model your program uses (CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, 12-step facilitation). Anara frames the therapeutic rationale using that model's language.
## 3. What Anara creates
A formal, third-person clinical note covering the session activity, group structure, participant engagement, notable clinical moments, and therapeutic rationale, formatted to match the standards in your uploaded protocol documents. The note is what goes in the clinical record: not a summary you rework, but a draft close enough to final that the review pass is a matter of minutes. The therapeutic rationale is drawn from your uploaded program framework, not from generic clinical language.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Add an individual progress note
When the session included a specific participant moment that warrants a separate individual note.
```text wrap theme={null}
Write an individual progress note for the participant who disclosed for the first time in today's session. Note the disclosure in clinical terms, the group's response, and the clinical significance given the participant's treatment goals. Keep it to three sentences, third-person, formal.
```
### Adjust the clinical framing
When the note is structurally correct but the therapeutic rationale needs to align more closely with your model.
```text wrap theme={null}
The note reads well but the rationale section sounds generic. Revise it to ground the activity's therapeutic purpose specifically in motivational interviewing principles as described in my uploaded clinical guidelines. Keep the rest of the note as is.
```
### Generate the note for next week's planned session
When you want to draft the note template in advance of the session.
```text wrap theme={null}
Next week's session will use the "Anonymous Fear Sharing" activity from Week 5 of the curriculum. Draft a note template for that session with the activity description and therapeutic rationale already filled in, leaving the participation and notable moments sections blank for me to complete after the session.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
The prompt works best with a brief, specific session description: what the activity was, who participated in what way, and any moment worth noting clinically. You do not need to write clinical language in the description; plain description of what happened is enough and Anara converts it. Naming your uploaded protocol document directly ("reference my note format guidelines") prevents Anara from generating a generic clinical note format. If your program has a specific note structure (SOAP, DAP, or a custom format), name it in the prompt.
### Check the output against your own understanding
You were in the room. You know what happened, who participated in what way, and whether the clinical framing in the note is accurate. Read the note before filing it and correct any factual description that does not match the session. Anara's therapeutic rationale draws from your uploaded curriculum, which means it is accurate to the program framework but may not reflect the specific direction the session took in practice. Adjust that section to match what actually happened rather than what the protocol prescribes.
### What to do with the output next
Review the note, adjust any details that need correction, and file it directly into the clinical record. If your program requires a supervisor review before notes are filed, save the draft as a note in Anara and share it with your supervisor before finalizing. For sessions with individual disclosures or critical incidents, use the individual progress note follow-up to create a separate clinical record alongside the group note.
# Respond to your supervisor's feedback and revise your chapter
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/thesis-revision
Upload your draft chapter and the supervisor's comments. Anara reads both, classifies each comment by what it actually requires, and drafts a revision strategy with specific changes and library citations where the argument needs strengthening. For PhD students navigating the long middle of a dissertation with a list of feedback that keeps growing.
## 1. Describe the task
Your supervisor has returned the chapter with comments. Some of them ask for new literature. Some ask you to clarify an argument you thought was already clear. Some are stylistic. All of them are sitting in a document you have been avoiding opening.
Anara can read both the draft and the feedback together. It works through each comment, classifies what it actually requires, and drafts a response strategy: which comments need a citation from your library, which need the argument restructured, which need a paragraph rewritten. For comments that require new evidence, Anara searches your library and returns the passages that address the gap.
This workflow does not replace your judgment about the chapter. You know the field and the argument. What Anara saves is the time spent decoding what each comment means and deciding where to start. By the end of one session you have a classified comment list and a draft revision plan, not a blank document and an anxious afternoon.
Here a PhD student in venous leg ulcer wound care nursing has a supervisor's annotated draft and twenty-six weeks of work still to go before submission.
```text wrap theme={null}
I'm revising my PhD thesis chapter on compression therapy adherence in VLU nursing. Attached are two documents: my draft chapter and my supervisor's feedback PDF.
Read both. For each supervisor comment, do the following:
1. State what kind of change it requires: new citation, argument restructure, writing clarity, or factual check.
2. Draft a specific revision action for that comment.
3. If the comment requires a new citation, search my library and name the best supporting passage.
Present the output as a numbered list matching the order of the comments. Flag any comment you cannot resolve from my current library so I know where I need to find new literature.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Your draft chapter, uploaded to your library or attached to the chat.
* The supervisor's feedback, either as a PDF of track-changes comments or a separate feedback document.
**Optional context**
* The folder of papers relevant to this chapter. Anara searches it for citation support when the feedback requests stronger evidence.
* Your target submission date and the chapter's role in the dissertation. Helps Anara prioritize which comments are most structurally significant.
## 3. What Anara creates
A classified revision plan: each supervisor comment matched to a change type and a specific revision action. For comments requiring additional evidence, the relevant library passage is named with a citation. For comments requiring structural changes, a revised argument or paragraph outline is drafted. The plan is the working document for your next writing session. Where the library cannot cover a gap, Anara flags it so you know exactly what new reading you need before you can respond.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Draft the response letter
When the revision is complete and you need to write back to your supervisor.
```text wrap theme={null}
Draft a response letter addressing each comment from the list. For each one, summarize the change I made and explain the reasoning. Keep the tone collaborative. Number the responses to match the original comment list.
```
### Add citations to the flagged sections
When the plan identified gaps your library does not cover and you have since found new papers.
```text wrap theme={null}
I've imported three new papers on compression adherence. Search them and suggest where in the chapter they can be cited to address the supervisor's comment about insufficient evidence on patient self-management.
```
### Improve the register of a revised paragraph
When the draft revision is technically correct but the language is not at the right level.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is the revised paragraph for comment 4. It is accurate but reads too informally for the chapter. Improve the academic register without changing the argument or the citations.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Numbering the comments in your feedback document before you upload it makes the output much easier to work with. If the feedback is embedded in a track-changes PDF, ask Anara to extract and list all comments first before classifying them. Including "flag any comment you cannot resolve from my current library" is important: it prevents Anara from generating plausible-sounding citations to papers you do not have, which is the failure mode that causes most downstream pain when you discover the citation was invented.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara classifies comments based on what the text says, not what your supervisor means. Supervisors sometimes write "clarify this" when they mean "I disagree with this." Read each comment yourself before accepting the classification. If the revision plan treats a fundamental challenge to your argument as a writing-clarity edit, correct that before you start revising. The classification is a starting point, not a verdict.
### What to do with the output next
Work through the revision plan comment by comment, opening the relevant library papers in split-screen as you revise. When the chapter is substantially revised, run the claim-verification workflow on any paragraph that was substantially rewritten to check that new citations accurately support the revised claims. Once the chapter is ready, draft the response letter to your supervisor using the follow-up prompt, then save both the revised chapter and the response letter as notes you can share.
# Synthesize key arguments from a series of conference talks or recorded webinars
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/vid-conference-synthesis
Paste a YouTube playlist link or a list of individual talk URLs and name the research question you are tracking. Anara reads the transcripts from each talk, identifies the main arguments, notes where speakers agree and where they diverge, and returns a structured synthesis. For researchers following a field through conference presentations rather than waiting for papers.
## 1. Describe the task
Conference talks often precede published papers by twelve to twenty-four months. Speakers present findings, advance arguments, and reveal where a field's unresolved debates are heading well before any of it appears in a journal. Watching a full conference day of recorded talks is how you stay current. It is also five to eight hours of video per event.
Anara reads the transcripts of talks you point it to and synthesizes across them. You name the research question you are tracking. Anara processes each talk's transcript, identifies the main arguments, finds where speakers converge and where they diverge, and returns a structured synthesis that covers the range of positions in the time it takes to read a long abstract.
A practical note on transcript availability: most recorded lectures from institutional channels (university courses, named conference series, professional association webinars) have transcripts available. For recently uploaded or smaller-channel talks, transcript availability is not guaranteed and Anara falls back to page-level extraction, which is less complete. If a specific talk produces weak output, confirm transcript availability on YouTube before running it again.
Here a computational neuroscience graduate student is tracking the debate on neural oscillation theories across a recent conference series and has a playlist of twelve talks from a symposium.
```text wrap theme={null}
I am tracking the debate on neural oscillation theories, specifically the disagreement between phase-coding and rate-coding accounts of temporal binding. I have a playlist of talks from the Neural Oscillations Symposium 2025.
Playlist URL: [paste the YouTube playlist URL here]
For each talk in the playlist, identify:
1. The speaker's main argument or finding
2. Their position on phase-coding versus rate-coding (or their explicit refusal to take a position)
3. Any empirical result they present that speaks to this debate
Then write a 300-word synthesis across all talks: where speakers converge, where they diverge, and what the major unresolved questions are that emerged from the symposium. Name specific speakers when citing their positions.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A YouTube playlist URL or a list of individual YouTube video URLs.
* The research question or debate you are tracking across the talks.
**Optional context**
* Papers in your library by the speakers. Anara can cross-reference the talk's claims against their prior published work when both are in scope.
* A time limit per talk. If you have a long playlist and only want Anara to process the first twenty minutes of each talk, say so.
## 3. What Anara creates
A per-talk summary covering each speaker's main argument and their position on the debate you named, followed by a cross-talk synthesis identifying where the symposium converged, where it diverged, and what the open questions are that the symposium surfaced but did not resolve. The synthesis is what you read instead of watching the playlist, and the per-talk summaries let you know which individual talks are worth watching in full.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Find the papers the speakers cited
When a speaker mentioned a specific study you want to read.
```text wrap theme={null}
In the third talk, the speaker cited a 2024 study on phase-locking during memory consolidation in hippocampal neurons. Search the academic index for that study by those parameters and show me the abstract and DOI.
```
### Import one talk's transcript for deeper analysis
When a specific talk deserves more than a summary.
```text wrap theme={null}
Import the transcript from the fifth talk in the playlist to my library as a document called "Buzsaki 2025 Oscillations Talk." Once it is imported, I want to ask follow-up questions about the specific evidence he presents for phase-coding.
```
### Compare this symposium's positions to last year's
When you have tracked the same debate across multiple conference years.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have the synthesis from the 2024 Neural Oscillations Symposium saved as a note. Compare the positions described in this year's synthesis to last year's. Where has the debate moved, and where are the same disagreements still unresolved?
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the specific debate or disagreement you are tracking, not just the topic. "Neural oscillations" tells Anara to describe each talk generally. "The disagreement between phase-coding and rate-coding accounts of temporal binding" tells Anara to classify each speaker's position within that specific argument. For long playlists (more than ten talks), ask Anara to process them in batches of five and produce a partial synthesis after each batch, then combine them. Processing fifteen talks in one prompt risks compression in the per-talk summaries.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Transcript accuracy varies across channels. University lecture recordings typically have high-accuracy transcripts because they were created for accessibility. Talks recorded in conference rooms with audience questions have noisier transcripts where speaker attribution can drift. If a synthesis assigns a position to a speaker that seems wrong, check the transcript directly for the relevant section before citing the synthesis in your own work. The synthesis is a starting document for a field tracking process, not a citable account of what a researcher argued.
### What to do with the output next
Save the per-talk summaries and the synthesis as a note in your library. Add new conference talks to the note as they are published throughout the year. When you are ready to write a review or a dissertation chapter tracking the debate, the note becomes the primary source for the conference-talk thread of your literature review, alongside the published papers you have collected through standard searches.
# Extract study notes and key concepts from a YouTube lecture or educational video
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/vid-lecture-notes
Paste a YouTube link and tell Anara what you are studying. Anara reads the video transcript and produces structured study notes covering the core concepts, key definitions, and anything that sounds like it would appear on an exam. Then follow up to find academic papers that go deeper on any concept, or cross-reference with your uploaded lecture slides. No files to upload.
## 1. Describe the task
The lecture recording is three hours long. The exam is Thursday. You need the key concepts, the definitions, and the things the instructor spent the most time on.
Anara reads the transcript from a YouTube video and produces organized study notes from it. Paste the link, name the subject and the level of detail you want, and Anara works through what was said in the lecture and structures it into notes you can use. The same workflow applies to recorded seminars, conference talks, and tutorial videos from public channels. If the video has a transcript, Anara reads it. If not, Anara works with the page content that is available.
Here a graduate student in biomedical engineering has a recorded lecture from an MIT OpenCourseWare module on hydrogels as biomaterials. The exam covers the full module and he needs study notes for every lecture before Friday.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is the YouTube link to a recorded lecture on hydrogels as biomaterials from a graduate biomedical engineering course: [paste link]
I am studying for my graduate course exam. From the transcript of this lecture, produce structured study notes covering:
- Key definitions (hydrogel, crosslinking density, swelling ratio, LCST)
- Core concepts and how they relate to each other
- Any specific examples the lecturer uses to illustrate each concept
- Anything that sounds like it could appear on an exam question
Use headers for each topic area. Keep the language clear: I need to understand the concepts, not just copy the transcript.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The YouTube video URL.
**Optional context**
* The subject and level (undergraduate course, graduate seminar, conference tutorial). Anara calibrates how much background to include in the notes.
* Specific concepts you already know well and want skipped, or areas you want to go deeper on.
* Uploaded lecture slides from the same module. Anara can cross-reference the video against your slides to fill gaps or flag inconsistencies.
## 3. What Anara creates
Structured study notes organized by topic, written in clear language, with definitions, conceptual relationships, and illustrative examples drawn from what the lecturer said. The notes are the working study document you use between the lecture and the exam. What they are for: replacing a full re-watch when you need to review a specific concept or check what was said about a topic before you write the exam answer.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Generate practice questions from the notes
When the notes are done and you want to test your understanding before the exam.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the study notes you just created, generate 15 practice questions on hydrogels as biomaterials. Mix conceptual questions (explain why crosslinking density affects swelling ratio) with applied questions (a surgeon uses a hydrogel with LCST below body temperature for a wound dressing: what happens at implantation and why?). Include the correct answer for each question.
```
### Find academic papers on a concept from the lecture
When the lecture introduced a concept you want to go deeper on using primary literature.
```text wrap theme={null}
The lecturer mentioned that hydrogel degradation rate can be tuned by adjusting crosslinker chemistry. Find peer-reviewed papers in my library or in the academic literature that go deeper on this. Return papers that explain the mechanism, not just papers that use the technique.
```
### Cross-reference with uploaded lecture slides
When you have the slides from the same module and want to compare what was covered in each.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have the lecture slides for this module uploaded to my library. Compare the topics covered in the video transcript notes you created with what is on the slides. Flag anything the slides cover that the video did not address, and anything the lecture went into depth on that the slides only mention briefly.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the subject explicitly and describe what you need the notes for. "Study notes for a graduate course exam" produces a different output than "notes for a casual watch." The former emphasizes definitions, key relationships, and likely exam topics; the latter produces a summary. If the lecture is part of a series and you already have notes from earlier sessions, mention what you already know: it prevents Anara from over-explaining foundational concepts you covered in the previous lecture.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Transcript availability is not guaranteed for all YouTube videos. When a transcript is unavailable, Anara falls back to the YouTube page content, which contains less detail than the full spoken lecture. If the notes feel thin, the transcript may not have been available. For recorded lectures from major educational institutions, transcripts are usually present. For conference talks and user-uploaded content, availability varies.
### What to do with the output next
Save the notes to your Anara library once reviewed. Use the practice questions follow-up to test your recall before the exam. If the lecture introduced a concept you want to build into your own research, the academic paper follow-up surfaces the primary literature. For module-level studying, run the workflow for each lecture and ask Anara to synthesize the full set into a master study guide before the exam.
# Brief yourself on a company or technology before a meeting
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/web-competitive-brief
Name the company, product, or technology you need to know about and tell Anara what the meeting is. Anara searches the web for recent news, funding, product moves, leadership changes, and public positioning, then returns a concise briefing you can read on the way there. No files required.
## 1. Describe the task
The meeting is tomorrow. You need to know the company well enough to sound informed, catch what's changed in the last quarter, and know what questions to ask. Wikipedia is too stale, a Google search gets you thirty tabs you don't have time to read, and a colleague who used to work there isn't picking up.
Anara can do the research pass for you. Name the company, the technology, or the competitor and tell Anara what the meeting is. Anara searches the web for recent announcements, funding signals, product moves, leadership changes, and public positioning, and returns the structured briefing you'd have written yourself if you had the afternoon.
Here a biosensing startup researcher is preparing for an investor meeting and needs a competitive read on three other companies working on continuous glucose monitoring.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have an investor meeting Thursday and I need to know the competitive landscape for continuous glucose monitoring. The three companies I care about are Dexcom, Abbott, and Senseonics.
For each one, give me a one-page briefing covering:
- What they ship right now (current product, key specs)
- What's happened in the last 12 months (launches, funding, acquisitions, leadership changes)
- What they're telling investors about next-generation products
- What independent analysts are saying about them
- What gaps or weaknesses have been publicly reported
Cite every claim. I'll need to defend this in the meeting.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The prompt carries it.
**Optional context**
* The meeting type (investor pitch, client call, competitive review, job interview). Anara tunes what to include.
* Specific dimensions you care about (technical, financial, leadership, public reception). Narrows the research pass.
* A region or market, if the company operates differently across geographies.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured briefing, one section per company or topic, with every claim linked to the source. The briefing is what you read once before the meeting to know where the conversation will go. Cited sources let you verify a specific claim when it matters, and anything that felt too specific to be real checks out in one click.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Go deeper on one finding
When the briefing surfaces something you want to understand better.
```text wrap theme={null}
You mentioned Dexcom's G8 product announcement is behind schedule. Pull up the original sources for that claim and tell me what the reported delay is and what the company has officially said about it.
```
### Prepare likely questions
When you want to walk in ready for the conversation, not just briefed on the facts.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on this briefing, what are the three toughest questions someone could ask me about my company's positioning against these three competitors? For each, draft a short honest answer I could give.
```
### Track a signal over time
When you expect to revisit the same competitors and want ongoing intelligence.
```text wrap theme={null}
Save this briefing as a note called "CGM Competitive Brief." Next time I ask you to refresh it, start from the note and update only what's changed since today's date.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Tell Anara what the meeting is. "Investor pitch Thursday" produces a different briefing than "competitive review for next year's strategy." The first weights recent signals heavily, the second weights product and technology deeply. Name the specific dimensions you need ("leadership changes in the last 18 months, technical roadmap, independent analyst coverage"), otherwise Anara defaults to a general overview that's useful but not sharp.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Web search pulls from what's public. Private signals (what your contact at the company told you over drinks, internal docs you've seen, rumors in the industry) are not in the briefing. Read the cited sources for any claim you plan to state in the meeting, especially if a claim feels dated or surprisingly specific. Some companies publish different positioning in different regions, so a US-centric briefing may miss how the same product is positioned in Europe or Asia.
### What to do with the output next
Read the full briefing once, then print or save the top-line summary. In the meeting, cite specific claims confidently because you've verified them. After the meeting, note what the briefing missed that you learned in the room. Feed that back into the next version when you refresh the briefing for the next meeting. The save-as-note follow-up keeps the briefing as a living doc you update, not a one-off throwaway.
# Build a country-level pharmaceutical market brief using live web sources
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/web-pharma-market
Name a product category and a target country and Anara searches for current market size data, hospital consumption rates, formulary positioning, key competitors, and payer landscape. Returns a structured brief with source citations. No files to upload. For medical affairs, market access, and business development professionals entering a new geography.
## 1. Describe the task
A new geography is on the table. Before the launch meeting, before the pricing model, before the field team is briefed, you need to know whether the market is even there: how many patients receive treatment, which products are already on formulary, what payers look for in a submission, and which competitors have a position worth understanding.
Manual web research for a country-level market brief takes a morning: switching between WHO databases, national health authority websites, hospital reports, and competitor press releases. Each source requires its own search and its own judgment call about credibility. By the time you have the picture, the search trail is gone and the brief has no citations.
Anara runs this research pass in one prompt. Name the product category, the country, and the business question. Anara generates parallel searches targeting epidemiology data, hospital consumption reports, formulary and payer data, health authority announcements, and competitor activity. It reads the most relevant sources and returns a structured brief with every claim linked to its source.
Here a market access professional at a specialty pharmaceutical company is building a country market brief for Singapore before a launch decision meeting for an intravenous immunoglobulin product.
```text wrap theme={null}
Build a country-level market brief for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in Singapore. I need the following:
1. Current estimated patient numbers and treatment rates for the primary indications: primary immunodeficiency, CIDP, and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
2. Which IVIG products are currently on formulary at public hospitals and whether there are preferred product listings.
3. Key payer and reimbursement mechanisms: who funds IVIG access in Singapore, what the formulary submission process looks like.
4. Which competitor products have the largest market presence and what is publicly known about their pricing or positioning.
Cite every claim. I need to defend these numbers in a meeting.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. The prompt carries it. Anara searches live web sources.
**Optional context**
* The specific business question this brief is serving: market entry assessment, competitive positioning, pricing analysis, or reimbursement strategy. This tells Anara which dimensions to weight.
* A list of competitor products you are specifically tracking. Anara prioritizes information about named competitors.
* A target audience for the brief. "For an internal business case" versus "for a regional launch presentation" shapes the level of detail.
## 3. What Anara creates
A structured country market brief organized by the dimensions you specified, with every claim linked to its web source. The brief is what you read before the decision meeting to know where the numbers came from and which ones you can defend.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Extend to a second country for comparison
When the brief is complete and you need a regional picture.
```text wrap theme={null}
Run the same brief structure for Malaysia. I want to compare the Singapore and Malaysia IVIG markets side by side: patient population size, formulary access, payer mechanisms, and dominant competitor products. Flag where the data quality is weaker for Malaysia than for Singapore.
```
### Go deeper on the payer mechanism
When the formulary or reimbursement process needs more detail before a submission strategy meeting.
```text wrap theme={null}
Go deeper on the IVIG reimbursement mechanism in Singapore public hospitals. What is the Health Sciences Authority's role in formulary decisions? Are there national tender processes that determine product selection? What documentation is typically required for a specialist access application?
```
### Track a competitor's recent activity
When a specific competitor's market moves are the central question.
```text wrap theme={null}
What has Octapharma done in the Singapore or Southeast Asian IVIG market in the last 18 months? Find any product launches, tender wins, pricing announcements, or partnerships that have been publicly reported.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Name the product category, country, and specific dimensions. "Research the IVIG market" returns a broad overview. "Research hospital consumption rates, formulary status, and competitor positioning for IVIG in Singapore" returns a targeted brief. For smaller markets, flag expected data limitations in your prompt so Anara qualifies its findings honestly rather than filling gaps with estimates.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara searches what is publicly available at the time of the query. Formulary and payer data are published inconsistently across markets. Where a number looks surprisingly specific, check the cited source before using it in a business case. Exa's index may lag on very recent news by days to weeks; verify last-month announcements directly from the health authority's website.
### What to do with the output next
Save the brief as a note immediately, named with the product, country, and date. The next time you need to refresh, open the note in a new chat and ask Anara to update only what has changed since that date. This gives you a versioned intelligence file rather than a one-time output. For pricing and market access, pair the web brief with a search of the clinical evidence landscape for the indication.
# Track recent regulatory announcements and synthesize what changed in your domain
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/web-regulatory-track
Name a regulatory body, a therapy area, or a product category and the time window you need to cover. Anara searches for recent guidance documents, public consultation outcomes, enforcement actions, and policy announcements, then returns a synthesis of what changed and what it means for your work. No files to upload.
## 1. Describe the task
Regulatory guidance moves faster than most monitoring systems can track. A new FDA draft guidance on a Thursday afternoon, an EMA reflection paper open for consultation, a NICE appraisal published between quarterly reviews. The professionals who catch these earliest are monitoring more systematically, not reading more.
Anara can run a regulatory monitoring pass for you. Name the agency, the therapy area or product category, and the time window. Anara searches agency websites, industry reporting, and medical news sources in parallel, reads the most relevant documents it finds, and returns a synthesis covering what was published, what it means for your area, and what requires your attention.
Here a regulatory affairs manager at a medical device company needs a rapid summary of EMA and EU MDR-related guidance published in the last 60 days that affects software as a medical device (SaMD) classification and clinical evidence requirements.
```text wrap theme={null}
I need a regulatory monitoring brief for software as a medical device (SaMD) covering the last 60 days.
Please search for:
- Any new or draft guidance from the EMA on AI and machine learning-based medical devices
- Any updates to MDCG guidance on EU MDR classification or clinical evaluation for SaMD
- Any public consultation documents from the European Commission relevant to the AI Act's interaction with MDR
- Any enforcement actions or notable EUDAMED updates relevant to digital health devices
For each item found, tell me: what it is, when it was published, what it changes or proposes, and whether it requires immediate attention or monitoring only.
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* Nothing to upload. Anara searches live public sources from the prompt.
**Optional context**
* The specific regulatory bodies you want covered. Naming FDA, EMA, MHRA, TGA, PMDA, or Health Canada focuses the search on the agencies relevant to your markets.
* A prior monitoring brief from the last cycle. Anara identifies what is new since that date rather than re-covering known ground.
* Your product category, device classification, or therapy area. Helps Anara weight results toward guidance with direct applicability to your situation.
## 3. What Anara creates
A monitoring brief covering recent regulatory publications across the named agencies and topic. Each item identifies the document, the date, the key change or proposal, and whether it requires action, monitoring, or no immediate response. The brief is what you share with the regulatory team at the start of the week or take into a committee meeting that needs a current picture.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Read a specific guidance document in detail
When the monitoring brief surfaces a document that needs deeper analysis.
```text wrap theme={null}
You identified a new MDCG guidance paper on clinical evaluation for AI-based devices. Read the full document at the URL you cited and summarize the specific changes to clinical evidence requirements for machine learning models that update their performance after deployment.
```
### Compare new guidance to your current approach
When a new document may affect something you have already submitted or are currently preparing.
```text wrap theme={null}
Based on the new MDCG guidance on AI device clinical evaluation, how does it differ from what we were using before? I have uploaded our current clinical evaluation report template. Flag any sections of our template that may need to be updated to comply with the new guidance.
```
### Set up a recurring monitoring brief format
When you want to use the same monitoring approach on a regular basis.
```text wrap theme={null}
Save this monitoring brief as a note called "SaMD Regulatory Monitor - April 2026." Next time I ask for the SaMD regulatory brief, start from this note and cover only what has been published since today's date.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Naming the agency and product category together produces a more focused search than naming either alone. Adding a time window (last 30 days, since January 1, 2026) prevents Anara from returning foundational guidance you already know about. For active regulatory areas like AI and digital health, a 30-day window is more useful than a 90-day window: there is enough new material without older items dominating the brief.
### Check the output against your own understanding
Anara searches publicly available sources. Publications within 24 to 72 hours may not yet appear in search results. For critical timelines, verify the brief against the agency's publications page directly. Anara cannot access password-protected submissions, internal agency communications, or guidance distributed only to registered contacts. If an expected item is missing, check the agency website directly.
### What to do with the output next
Distribute the brief to your regulatory team with a note on which items require action and by when. For draft guidance open for consultation, confirm whether your organization plans to submit comments and by what deadline. For finalized guidance that changes existing requirements, assess which current submissions need updating before the implementation date. Archive briefs by date as a running record of what changed and when.
# Find real citations for what you've already written
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/write-first-cite-second
Paste a paragraph you have drafted and Anara searches your library for the specific passages that back each claim. It returns the matching text alongside your sentence and tells you when nothing in your library supports a claim. For researchers who write independently and use Anara to ground their drafts before submission.
## 1. Describe the task
You wrote the paragraph. You know the argument. Now you need the citation, and the paper you are thinking of is somewhere in your library, in a folder you browsed three weeks ago, under a title that is only half-remembered.
Anara runs this search for you. Paste the paragraph and ask which papers support which claims. Anara searches your library semantically, matches passages to specific sentences in your text, and returns the supporting text with clickable citations. It does not rewrite your paragraph, it does not improve your prose, and it does not generate references for papers that are not in your library. It finds what supports what you already wrote, and tells you directly when a claim has no library backing.
For large libraries or when no library match exists, Anara can extend the search to the academic index to find papers that make the argument even if you have not imported them yet.
Here a PhD student in electrochemical energy storage is working backward through three drafted chapters, attaching citations paragraph by paragraph before the first supervisor review.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is a paragraph I have drafted for Chapter 3 of my thesis on solid-state lithium metal batteries. Find papers in my library that support each claim in this paragraph. Return the specific passage that backs each claim, with a citation. If a claim has no support in my library, flag it as unsupported rather than searching broadly.
"At elevated temperatures, solid electrolyte interfaces become more conductive but also more susceptible to dendritic growth, with onset of instability typically observed above 60°C. Recent work on argyrodite-class electrolytes suggests that ionic conductivity improvements at higher temperatures are offset by increased grain boundary resistance at the anode interface."
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* The library or folder that contains the papers you are citing from. If your library is organized by chapter or topic, name the relevant folder.
**Optional context**
* A note that says "search the academic index too" if your library may have gaps. Anara will search the 240-million-paper index and propose papers to import.
* Your preferred citation format if you want formatted references returned alongside the matched passages.
## 3. What Anara creates
A claim-by-claim report: each sentence from your paragraph, the passage from your library that supports it, and the citation. Claims with no library match are flagged. The output is the audit you run before you hand the chapter to anyone else. Where Anara finds support, the citation is ready to insert. Where it finds nothing, you know exactly which claim still needs a source.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Search the academic index for a missing claim
When Anara flags a claim as unsupported by your library, extend the search.
```text wrap theme={null}
For the second sentence that was flagged as unsupported: search the academic literature for papers that make this argument specifically. Find papers published in the last five years. If you find a match, propose importing it.
```
### Generate formatted references for every matched citation
When you want the full reference list for the paragraph, not the passages alone.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate APA 7 citations for every paper you matched in this search. Return them as a formatted reference list I can paste into my bibliography.
```
### Check a longer section at once
When the paragraph-by-paragraph approach is taking too long.
```text wrap theme={null}
Here is the complete methodology section, roughly 600 words. Go through it and match every claim that needs a citation to the best supporting passage in my library. Flag anything unsupported. I do not need you to rewrite anything.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
Paste your text verbatim. A paraphrase of your claim returns different library matches than the exact sentence, because Anara searches on the wording. Include the explicit instruction not to rewrite the text. Without it, Anara may return a revised version of your paragraph with citations woven in, which can feel helpful but makes it harder to see which claim was matched to which passage. Ask for "the specific passage" rather than "supporting papers" if you want to see the matched text, not the document name alone.
### Check the output against your own understanding
A matched passage may support your claim in one reading and only partially in another. Before you cite, read the matched passage yourself. Ask yourself whether the paper's author is making the same argument or a nearby one. Anara matches on semantic similarity, not on the logical structure of the argument. When the match feels close but not exact, ask Anara to quote the two sentences before and after the matched passage so you can see the context in which the author made the point.
### What to do with the output next
Run the citation audit before your supervisor or co-author sees the draft. Any "unsupported" flag is either a claim to revise or a search task to complete. Once the audit is clean, use the formatted-references follow-up to generate your bibliography section. If you write in LaTeX, ask for BibTeX export: this requires the export feature in your plan, so check availability first. The workflow also pairs naturally with the claim-verification tile, which runs the check in the opposite direction: you give Anara a specific citation and ask whether your wording accurately represents it.
# Sync your Zotero library and start chatting with your papers
Source: https://docs.anara.com/use-cases/zotero-library-sync
Connect Zotero and your entire reference collection becomes searchable in Anara alongside any PDFs you have uploaded directly. Ask questions across the whole library at once. For researchers who manage their references in Zotero and want to stop switching between tools to find the paper they need.
## 1. Describe the task
You have been building your Zotero library for years. Hundreds of papers, organized into collections, annotated with notes. Every time you start working in Anara, you end up uploading individual PDFs from folders you already have in Zotero because there was no other way to bring the two together. The result is two partially overlapping libraries and constant uncertainty about which one has the version you actually want.
The Zotero connector imports your reference collections directly into Anara. Connect via OAuth, select the collections you want to bring in, approve the import, and your Zotero library becomes searchable in Anara alongside anything else you have uploaded. From that point, one question can reach across everything you have.
Here a PhD student in organizational behavior has three years of Zotero references on leadership, organizational learning, and identity theory, all organized into collections, and wants to use Anara to search across them without uploading papers individually.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have just connected my Zotero library. My main research collection is called "Organizational Learning" and has 140 papers across subcollections on absorptive capacity, dynamic capabilities, and institutional theory.
Bring in all three subcollections and create a folder in my Anara library that mirrors the structure. Then tell me: across these papers, what are the three most contested theoretical claims and which papers represent each side of the debate?
```
## 2. Give Anara context
**Required context**
* A Zotero account connected to Anara via OAuth. If it is not yet connected, Anara will guide you to connect it when you ask.
* The collection name or names you want to import.
**Optional context**
* Your research question or the argument you are currently developing. Helps Anara focus the first synthesis rather than producing a general overview of the whole import.
## 3. What Anara creates
An Anara library folder matching the structure of your Zotero collection, with your papers imported and available for search, citation, and synthesis. The import confirmation shows you what was brought in and flags any papers where the metadata was too sparse to import cleanly. From there, every library workflow in Anara becomes available across your Zotero collection: cross-library search, claim verification, literature review drafting, citation generation.
## 4. Follow-up prompts
### Search the imported collection for a specific argument
Once the library is populated, start working with it immediately.
```text wrap theme={null}
Search my Organizational Learning folder for papers that argue absorptive capacity is primarily a routines-based process rather than a cognitive one. Show me the relevant passages with citations.
```
### Generate a reference list from the imported papers
When you need formatted citations from what you have just brought in.
```text wrap theme={null}
Generate APA 7 citations for all papers in the Dynamic Capabilities subcollection. Return them in alphabetical order.
```
### Add new papers that came out since the sync
When your Zotero collection has grown after the initial import and you want to update Anara.
```text wrap theme={null}
I have added 15 new papers to my Zotero "Organizational Learning" collection since I last synced. Import them into the same folder in my Anara library and tell me which new topics they cover that were not well represented in the original set.
```
## 5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
### How you word your prompt shapes what you get
When connecting Zotero for the first time, name the collection explicitly rather than asking Anara to "import everything." Large libraries can take time to import, and importing a focused collection first lets you test the workflow before committing to the full set. After the import, treat the collection the same as any library folder: use folder-scoped search to keep queries focused, especially if you have multiple research projects running in parallel.
### Check the output against your own understanding
The Zotero sync is a one-time snapshot, not a live connection. If you add papers to Zotero after syncing, they do not appear in Anara automatically. Re-import the collection to update the Anara library. This also means that papers deleted from Zotero are not removed from Anara. If your Zotero organization changes significantly, it is faster to re-import the affected collections than to move files manually in Anara. Also note: Zotero folder hierarchy from parent and child collections may not fully transfer as nested folders, so check the structure after import and reorganize in Anara if needed.
### What to do with the output next
Once the import is complete, run a cross-library search to confirm Anara can find passages across your papers as expected. A good first test: ask Anara to locate a specific argument you know is in one of the imported papers, then check whether the passage citation takes you to the right document. If the citation resolves correctly, the import is working. If not, check whether that paper was imported with full text or abstract only. Abstract-only imports support metadata but not passage-level search or citation.
