Sharly AI

What is Sharly AI?

Sharly is an AI research workspace that summarizes documents, extracts key insights, compares metrics across files and attaches sources to its answers. It accepts PDFs, spreadsheets, Word and PowerPoint files, web links, Google Docs and Notion pages.

Key capabilities of Sharly AI

• Document summaries: Pulls summaries, key insights and highlights from files.
• Multi-document chat: Ask questions across several documents at once.
• Cross-document comparison: Compares metrics side by side across files.
• Citations: Attaches sources and switches between APA, MLA and Chicago formats.
• Collaboration: Shared workspaces, team Q and A, notes and peer review.
• Docs-only mode: Limits answers to the content of your documents.

How Sharly AI works

You upload files or paste links into a workspace, then ask questions or request summaries. Answers carry links back to the source passage, and you can switch citation style for papers. Team members share workspaces and comment through notes and peer review. Activity logs and role-based permissions apply.

Who uses Sharly AI?

Researchers, students, analysts and teams who work through long reports and papers use Sharly. Organizations can add governance features: the vendor lists AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, role-based permissions and activity logs.

Sharly AI pricing

Sharly offers a free option with no commitment and lets users upgrade anytime. The main page does not show plan prices or tiers and points to a pricing page, with organizations directed to talk to sales.
