Humata: Questions across hundreds of documents at once, with the source passage highlighted in the answer.

Mem: Notes that AI links together on its own and that you can search with a question.

A contract archive with parties and amounts in a third-party cloud needs a data processing agreement: without one, upload anonymized or public documents
The limit is counted in pages and large scans burn through it fast: upload one file first and check the quality
An answer across hundreds of documents may mix up terms from different contracts: check which file the highlighted passage comes from

Notes are stored in the service's cloud: keep passwords and employee personal data out
An answer from your notes also pulls in outdated entries: look at the date of the note it cites
Test the note export before moving your whole base there, so you have a way back
