Layer

Layer is an AI-powered research copilot designed to help users extract, organize, and synthesize insights from complex documents. It streamlines the process of reading long reports, academic papers, legal documents, and internal knowledge bases by highlighting key points and linking them directly to their original sources. The primary purpose of Layer is to turn unstructured information and scattered notes into clear, source-backed summaries, briefs, and reports with minimal manual effort.

Layer allows users to upload or connect to documents and knowledge repositories, then query them using natural language to surface precise, citation-ready answers. It supports traceable insights by showing exactly where information came from, enabling reliable fact-checking and compliance. Users can annotate, group, and structure findings, then automatically generate polished reports, memos, or outlines from their collected notes. Collaboration features typically include shared workspaces or projects, enabling teams to build and maintain living research documents over time.
