Layer

Layer is a research tool designed to help you quickly find the information that's most important in a complex document. By using AI technology, Layer automates the research process so you can get on with the rest of your work.

Layer is designed for a range of use cases, including journalistic investigations, scientific research, strategy consulting, market research and academic research. It's good at extracting information from long documents, offering answers to specific questions along with citations, and taking notes with the source material so you can find it later.

Among its features:

• Instant Extraction: Automatically extracts relevant information from complex documents, spotlighting important information.
• Precise Answers: Provides answers to questions along with citations so you can verify the information.
• PDF Insights: Transforms complex reports into actionable information.
• Notebook: Lets you save information that's useful with a click, including the source.

The idea is to speed up research so you can spend more time on higher-level work. Layer has two pricing tiers:

• Trial: Free, with a 7-question-per-week limit, and unlimited PDF and website length with the extension.
• Pro: $30 per month, with unlimited questions, priority support and access to new features.

It's designed for researchers, but it can help anyone who needs to get more out of complex information. That includes journalists, scientists, strategists and others who need to make decisions.
