Why ILMURA doesn't hallucinate

Generic chatbots guess, then dress the guess up as a citation. ILMURA retrieves real records from real research databases first, then writes — and shows you every source. This is the pipeline behind every answer.

Ask once. See why grounding matters.

The same question, answered two ways. A generic chatbot invents a source that looks real. ILMURA cites a paper you can actually open.

Why ILMURA

Four reasons we're not just another chatbot

Grounded, not guessed

Every answer is built from papers retrieved live from trusted academic databases — not invented.

One workspace

Search papers, synthesize cited drafts, run calculators, and study with flashcards — all in one place, not five disconnected tools.

Built for academia

Field-specific tools across 12 disciplines — Medical, Engineering, Aviation and more — with proper citation styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard).

Verify every claim

Each citation links to the real paper's DOI, journal and authors — so you and your supervisor can check the source in one click.

Built for academia

Try a real tool from your field

ILMURA ships 47 field-specific calculators across every discipline — not just chat. Pick your field and run one right here, on your own numbers.

Cited, your way

Every claim, in the style you need

ILMURA formats real, verifiable references in APA, MLA, Chicago or Harvard — switch instantly. This is a genuine paper, and the DOI resolves.

Search → synthesize

From outline to cited draft

ILMURA turns an outline into a grounded paragraph — every sentence traceable to a real source. Watch it write.

Your outline
  • Does testing improve retention?
  • How large is the effect?
  • Does spacing add to it?
Grounded draft

Tap "Generate cited draft" to watch ILMURA write a paragraph grounded in real papers.

How Ilmura compares

Why not just use ChatGPT or Notion AI?

General AI tools can hallucinate citations. Ilmura grounds every answer in real papers — and adds calculators, flashcards, and literature reviews general tools simply don't have.

Comparison reflects publicly documented features at time of writing. General AI tools are excellent at brainstorming; Ilmura is built for citing real sources.

Frequently asked

Everything you'd want to know

When will Ilmura launch?
Public access begins 5 June 2026 in waves. Founding waitlist members get in first, with a 14-day Pro trial automatically applied. We'll email you the moment your wave opens.
Is the Free tier really free forever?
Yes. 5 AI generations per day, no card required, no expiry. You only upgrade if you hit the cap or want Sonnet-tier reasoning, citation analysis, or unlimited literature reviews.
What happens to my data?
Your account, papers, and chat history are stored securely in the cloud. We never sell or share your data. You can export everything as JSON anytime, and delete your account with a single click.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Billing stops immediately on cancellation, and your account stays on the Free tier with full access to your past work — no data deletion, no penalty.
Why are real citations so important?
General AI tools frequently fabricate paper titles, authors, and DOIs that look real but don't exist. For thesis or research writing, that's a credibility disaster waiting to happen. Ilmura only cites papers that exist in trusted academic databases — every reference is verifiable.
Which academic fields are supported?
12 fields at launch: Medical, Engineering, Aviation, Statistics, Business, Biotechnology, Geology, Nursing, Programming, Mathematics, Science, History. We add fields based on user requests — Architecture, Law, and Linguistics are next on the roadmap.
Will Ilmura work offline?
Web works today. The mobile app is still in development with a planned release in Q3–Q4 2026. Once shipped, calculators and saved papers will work offline on mobile, while AI chat, literature reviews, and paper search will still need an internet connection to query live databases.
How does the 14-day Pro trial work?
Every waitlist signup gets 14 days of Pro automatically activated the day your wave opens — no card needed during the trial. After 14 days you drop to Free tier unless you upgrade. Your founding price is locked forever.

Still here? Join the waitlist now.

You'll get a Founder's Badge, a 14-day Pro trial, and your founding price locked. Takes 10 seconds.
