Overview
Sharly AI is a research workspace for individuals and teams that need to summarize, compare, and cite complex documents with source-backed answers. Built by VOX AI Inc., Sharly turns PDFs, Office files, and linked knowledge into verifiable insights so researchers, analysts, and compliance teams can move faster without sacrificing traceability.
How It Works
Upload documents or connect supported sources, then ask Sharly questions across one or many files. Every answer can include inline citations in APA, MLA, or Chicago formats that users can click to verify. Teams collaborate in shared workspaces with annotations, peer review, and role-based permissions on higher tiers.
Key Capabilities
- Summarize and extract: Generate structured summaries, key metrics, and topic highlights from dense reports.
- Validate and compare: Line up claims across documents, surface conflicts, and identify missing data.
- Cite with confidence: Citation-aware chat with format switching and saved prompts.
- Collaborative Q&A: Shared threads, inline feedback, and team annotations.
- Docs-only answer mode: Restrict responses to uploaded files for cleaner private reasoning.
- Enterprise controls: Activity logs, role-based access, AES-256 encryption at rest, and TLS 1.3 in transit.
Use Cases
- Researchers running literature reviews and trial document analysis.
- Compliance and risk teams validating claims across policy and audit files.
- Product and strategy analysts comparing regional or quarterly reports.
- Universities and enterprise teams that need SSO, audit logs, and admin dashboards.
Supported Formats and Integrations
Sharly accepts PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, links, Google Docs, and Notion exports. Higher plans add drive, Notion, and Dropbox sync along with multilingual support. Documentation is available at docs.sharly.ai for onboarding and security details.

Security and Governance
Sharly emphasizes document-only reasoning options, encrypted storage, and enterprise identity controls. Business customers gain version history, admin dashboards, and optional private deployment models for sensitive knowledge bases.
Academic Partner Program
Sharly offers an academic partner program for publishing and research institutions that need structured access, with applications available from the pricing page for early access.
Why Source Traceability Matters
Research and compliance workflows fail when AI answers sound confident but lack verifiable references. Sharly addresses that by attaching citations users can inspect, switch between APA, MLA, and Chicago, and compare conflicting statements across files. Docs-only mode further reduces hallucination risk when teams want answers constrained to uploaded evidence.
Team Rollout Guidance
Organizations usually start on Pro for individual analysts, then move to Team when multiple reviewers annotate the same document set. Business plans add SSO, audit logs, and deployment options required by universities, think tanks, and regulated industries. Sharly reports customers saving more than 12 hours per analyst weekly once document review moves into a shared workspace.
Security Review Checklist
Enterprise buyers should confirm retention windows, admin roles, and whether uploaded files are used for model training before rolling Sharly out to sensitive datasets. The product advertises that Pro plans avoid training on customer data, while Business adds SAML, audit logs, and optional private deployments for stricter environments.
Support Channels
Sharly offers email support on Free and Pro, chat on Team, and dedicated support lines on Business. Documentation at docs.sharly.ai covers onboarding, citation settings, and workspace administration for larger research groups.
Yearly billing on Pro and Team reduces per-seat cost for long research projects.
