# About Gobu

## 1. How secure is Gobu?

Gobu is built with privacy in mind. We're based in Sweden and committed to keeping your research private and protected.

Your data is never shared or used to train external Al models. We're continuously working to enhance data portability and control for our users.

## 2. What's the best way to use Gobu?

Start by uploading academic articles or course readings. Let Gobu generate Al-powered analyses, highlight key findings, and help you connect ideas visually on the infinite canvas. Use it to manage literature reviews, analyze articles, or organize complex research projects with ease.

***

## 3. Who is behind Gobu?

Gobu is created by a team of researchers who understand the challenges of academic work. We've combined our experience in science, technology, and design to build an Al assistant that truly supports research and learning.

***

## 4. How is Gobu different than other Al research tools?

Gobu combines Al that builds upon scientific frameworks, with a visual research canvas, designed specifically for students and researchers. Gobu delivers accurate analyses rooted in your academic articles, backed by direct quotes, and helps you organize your articles and notes in one place.

***

## 5. Which AI models does Gobu use?

Gobu uses a combination of advanced AI models rather than relying on a single one. We are model-agnostic. We apply **different models for different tasks** — and sometimes even multiple models within the same task — to ensure the analysis is **accurate, structured, and research-ready**.

This modular setup allows us to optimize for depth, clarity, and relevance, giving you insights that align with academic best practices.
