Iask
Use one search-led AI workspace to answer web questions, summarize sources, draft papers, and analyze documents.
About Iask
iask is an AI answer engine built for people who want direct responses alongside source-oriented web research. Its search modes cover general questions, student work, deeper reasoning, forum discussions, and wiki material, while users can choose concise, average, or detailed responses. The toolkit also includes a writer, webpage and text summarization, document analysis, image creation, search history, a personal assistant, and a companion feature. The free plan supports unlimited daily searches on the non-Pro model but includes limited advertising. Pro costs $9.95 per month, removes ads, adds 300 daily Pro searches, file uploads for the summarizer, a live AI video tutor, and deeper document analysis. It suits students and individual researchers who prefer a search-led interface, although anyone relying heavily on the Pro model needs to account for its daily cap. Developers can also use a separately presented API offering to add answer and content capabilities to their own applications.

Compare before choosing
The free tier allows unlimited non-Pro searches but displays limited ads
Pro costs $9.95 monthly and caps Pro-model searches at 300 per day

Pros
- Unlimited daily searches are available on the free non-Pro model, which keeps routine research costs at zero.
- Search, summarization, writing, and document analysis sit in one workflow, reducing tool switching for study and research.
- Pro removes ads and adds file-based analysis plus a live video tutor for users who need more guided work.
Cons
- Pro-model usage is capped at 300 searches per day, which may constrain intensive research sessions.
- The free experience includes limited ads, creating a tradeoff between zero cost and a cleaner interface.
- The camera feature is still listed as coming soon on mobile web and iOS, so buyers should not treat it as currently available.
