What Honeybear.ai is
A research assistant that works over your own material. Upload PDFs or point it at video, ask questions, and it answers with citations back to where the information came from.
It is built for locating answers, not for producing finished analysis.
What you can do with it
- Ask questions across multiple PDFs
- Work with video material such as lectures and interviews

- Compare information across sources
Who it is for
- Students and researchers

- Anyone hunting for one fact in many files
What to watch out for
- Citations help you locate the source, but you still need to open it and check the context
- Key facts, figures and quotes must be confirmed manually
- Uploading unpublished or confidential material needs a permissions check
- It is not a substitute for professional review
