Trunia - AI-Powered Research Assistant

Summary

As PM & Product Designer, I led the end-to-end UI and design for Trunia, an LLM-powered research assistant designed to answer questions exclusively from user-uploaded documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT). The core problem addressed was the pervasive lack of trust in AI outputs; users often question verification. My design philosophy centered on solving this by making source citation a primary UI element, ensuring transparency and building user confidence in AI-generated responses. This project aimed to serve students, researchers, and professionals by providing a secure, reliable research tool.
