Your coordinators are pasting protocols into ChatGPT right now.

ChatGPT gets protocol questions wrong, and a confident wrong answer is worse than no answer. Cora is built for this: cited answers in about 10 seconds, grounded only in your documents, with the exact page every time.

Page-cited.·Protocol-grounded.·No AI training on your data.·21 CFR Part 11 audit trail.
Built for high-volume research sites where precision isn't optional
Sponsor IP Under Risk

Sponsor IP doesn't disappear when your coordinator closes the browser tab

Your coordinators are resourceful. When they need a protocol answer at 6pm, they'll find one. The question isn't whether they'll use AI; it's whether the AI they use was built for regulated environments. Cora was.

Unreported NDA Exposure

When your coordinator pastes a protocol into ChatGPT, she doesn't get a warning. The sponsor doesn't get notified. And if the sponsor's legal team ever asks whether the full protocol text was shared with an unauthorized third party, the honest answer is yes. Cora was built so the honest answer is always no.

Zero Data Retention on AI

AI inference runs through AWS Bedrock with zero data retention. Your prompts and answers are not persisted by the model layer.

No AI Training on Your Data

Your documents are never used to train any AI model. Every query runs through a clinical-research pipeline, not a public chatbot.

Complete Audit Trail + Signed DPA

Every query, answer, and timestamp is logged and exportable. And we sign a confidentiality agreement and DPA with your site, so you can name us as an authorized vendor under your sponsor agreement. ChatGPT can't be that.

The Question Every Site Director Eventually Asks

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Your coordinators know ChatGPT exists. Some of them are already pasting protocol text into it. Here's why that's a problem, and why Cora is built for this.

ChatGPT
Cora
Contractual standing
Anonymous third party. Consumer terms govern; you have no confidentiality agreement with OpenAI.
Signs a confidentiality agreement and DPA with your site. An authorized, named service provider.
Sponsor IP
Pasting a protocol in is an unauthorized disclosure to a third party you have no agreement with. A breach of your NDA, regardless of any training setting.
Contractually bound under a DPA, so you can name us under your sponsor agreement’s vendor carve-out.
Accuracy on protocols
Reads the words, not the structure. Misses superseding amendments, dosing footnotes, cross-references. Confident, and sometimes wrong.
Built to parse protocol structure. Retrieves the exact passage, double-checks it against the source before answering.
Citations
No page numbers. No source links. Take the answer on faith.
Every answer includes the exact document and page number. One click to verify.
Audit trail
None. Nothing to show an FDA inspector or a sponsor's CRA.
Every query and answer logged with a timestamp. Exportable for audits.

Request Early Access

Running 5 studies? Your first is free, so that's $1,200/year ($100/month) for the other four. Every answer comes with page-cited sources your coordinators can verify in seconds.

Risk-Free, By Design

Your first study is free, so there is nothing to lose. When you add paid studies, they are backed two ways.

30-Day Unconditional

Add a paid study and change your mind within 30 days of your first paid study? Every dollar on that study back. No questions, no process.

90-Day Time-Saved Guarantee

Upload a protocol and run at least 10 substantive queries. If Cora has not saved your coordinators meaningful time within 90 days of your first paid study, we refund your paid studies for the year.

Every query your team runs is logged to Cora's dashboard. You see questions asked and answer quality in real time, not as a billing surprise.

Live in Under 30 Minutes

If your team can use ChatGPT, they can use Cora.

No IT department. No training sessions. No 6-week implementation. Setup takes less time than a coffee break, and once you're live, finding an answer takes about 10 seconds instead of 20 minutes.

1

Upload Your Study (2 minutes)

Drag and drop your protocol, lab manual, ICFs, pharmacy manual, and any supporting documents. Cora processes each one in 2-4 minutes. No reformatting. No tagging. Just drop the PDFs.

2

Ask Any Question (plain English)

Type like you’d text a colleague. “What are the exclusion criteria for renal function?” “When is the Day 15 visit window?” Cora searches every document in your study bundle at once.

3

Get a Verified Answer (with the page number)

Every answer comes with confidence scores, page-number citations, and clickable links to the source. Low-confidence answers are flagged automatically. Verify it yourself in one click.

The Accuracy Problem Sites Are Facing

Your coordinator gave the wrong answer, and she can't prove where she got it.

Protocols aren't documents you skim. They're 300-page decision trees: stacked amendments that override each other, dosing matrices with footnotes, visit schedules that cross-reference six other sections. A general LLM reads the words; it doesn't parse the structure. So when your coordinator asks ChatGPT about the exclusion criteria and gets an answer that Amendment 3 already superseded, she doesn't know it's wrong. She answers the PI confidently. She replies to the sponsor query. She trains the new hire on it. Cora's pipeline is built for that structure: tables, amendments, cross-references. Every answer is grounded in an exact page from your documents, so when it's right you know why, and when the protocol changes, Cora changes with it.

What Makes Cora Different

Purpose-built for protocols, not prose.

01

Built for Protocol Structure

Tables, dosing matrices, stacked amendments, cross-referenced visit schedules. Cora parses the structure a general LLM flattens, so retrieval is right before the answer is written.

02

Checked Twice. Page-Cited.

Every answer is verified against the source text before your team sees it. Low-confidence answers are flagged, and every claim links to the exact page.

03

Every Document. One Search.

Up to 30 documents per study bundle plus 50 site SOPs. One question searches all of it at once.

Why This Exists

We built the tool we wished we had

Cora started because our co-founder was a research coordinator who got tired of putting screening calls on hold to spend 20 minutes hunting for one answer in a 300-page protocol PDF.

We didn't build a generic AI chatbot and slap “clinical” on it. We built the tool that would have saved us from amendment chaos, from juggling five protocols across different tabs, and from being too embarrassed to message our study manager the same question twice.

Every feature in Cora exists because we lived the specific pain it solves. That's why it works.
