Desktop app that drafts cited academic and biomedical research papers, from Insilico Medicine.
DORA (Draft Outline Research Assistant) is a desktop application from Insilico Medicine for drafting academic and biomedical research papers. It generates document drafts with citations, offers AI-assisted editing and review passes, builds visualizations, and connects to scientific and biomedical databases so citations and background research can be pulled in during drafting rather than added by hand afterward. It ships as a downloadable desktop app rather than a browser tool, and an open-source, self-hosted version is available for users who want to supply their own LLM API keys instead of paying for hosted access.
Free trial allows 2 document generations/day. The Advanced plan is listed at $17/month (or $175/year) under an active 50%-off promotion; the Professional tier lists at $35/month. A separate open-source version can be self-hosted for free with your own API keys.
Use tool ↗DORA is aimed at researchers who want database-connected citation and drafting help for scientific papers specifically, backed by Insilico Medicine's biomedical focus. It is a desktop-only download rather than a web app, and the current low price reflects an active discount rather than the standard rate.
Watch out: The $17/month price is explicitly promotional (50% off); budget for roughly double that once the promotion ends.
