ZAIA is Zendy's research assistant for academic discovery and synthesis, using RAG over a curated mix of open-access sources and paywalled metadata licensed directly from publishers. Since March 2025 it runs the revenue-sharing model covered in the Customer Lifecycle section: publishers get paid when their licensed content is referenced.
