What is Afforai?
Logically's official help center explicitly identifies it as the new name for Afforai. The platform brings reference management, AI-assisted research, file annotation, and document writing into one workspace. References can be added from files, URLs, or identifiers, organized with folders and tags, and used in cited questions. A writer can then bring selected notes or research outputs into a document, keeping the reading process connected to the paper being developed.
Build a library you can inspect
The reference manager supports imported libraries and shared collections, while the research assistant can work with selected documents or broader search modes. Choose the scope deliberately: an answer from uploaded papers is different from one supplemented by external research. Check each cited source and its metadata before accepting a claim. Tags and annotations can record why a paper is relevant, not merely that it was found.
Carry evidence into the draft
The document writer can receive annotations and selected chat outputs, and the Word citation extension connects a reference library with Microsoft Word. Use those transfers to preserve the relationship between a statement and its support. Distinguish direct quotation, paraphrase, and your own interpretation as the text develops. Before submission, review citation formatting and confirm that every cited source actually supports the sentence in which it appears.

Who is Afforai for?
Researchers and students managing a growing source collection can use Logically when they want reading, annotation, and drafting in a connected process, while retaining responsibility for source selection, interpretation, and the integrity of the final citations.
Before you get started
Check references, source passages, and document-sharing permissions before relying on generated material. A citation link does not prove that an interpretation is correct, and AI summaries should not replace reading evidence central to an argument.
