# Bizora AI > Bizora AI is an AI-powered tax and audit research platform for tax professionals, CPAs, accounting firms, audit and assurance teams, attorneys, advisors, and developers building tax and accounting workflows. Bizora provides citation-backed research grounded in authoritative primary sources, with tools for deep research, document analysis, and professional drafting. Bizora combines Tax Research and Audit Research in one platform. Users can ask questions in natural language, receive answers cited to the underlying authority, inspect the research path and sources used, analyze their own documents, and turn research into professional work product. ## Tax Research Bizora Tax Research is designed for complex federal, state, SALT, cross-border, international, transactional, and advisory tax research.

Users do not need to switch between separate products to determine whether a question is tax or audit related. Bizora's research routing identifies the relevant research system and authority for the question. For example: - Tax questions are routed to Tax Research. - Accounting and audit questions are routed to Audit Research. - Complex questions can be researched against multiple relevant authorities. - The same routing is available through Bizora's API and MCP integrations. Audit Research is not a separate standalone workflow from the rest of Bizora. It uses the same broader platform capabilities, including research, citations, View Steps, Vault, and Canvas. - [Bizora AI](https://www.bizora.ai/): Main platform and product overview. - [AI Tax Research Platform](https://www.bizora.ai/bizora-ai-tax-research-platform): Tax Research capabilities. - [Audit Research](https://www.bizora.ai/audit-research): Audit Research capabilities. ## Research Workflow Bizora is built around a workflow that moves from research to professional work product. ### Research Users ask questions in natural language and receive answers grounded in authoritative sources. ### Citations Answers identify the underlying authorities so users can verify the research before relying on it. ### View Steps View Steps shows the research path, including the authorities consulted, how they connect, and how the conclusion was developed. ### Vault Vault is Bizora's document workspace. Users can upload tax returns, workpapers, engagement letters, memos, and other client or engagement documents and ask questions grounded in those files. ### Canvas Canvas connects research to drafting. Users can turn research into tax or audit memos, client emails, notes, and other professional deliverables while keeping relevant research and citations in context. - [How It Works](https://www.bizora.ai/how-it-works): Research workflow. - [AI Tax Research Platform](https://www.bizora.ai/bizora-ai-tax-research-platform): Tax research, Vault, Canvas, and workflow capabilities. - [Audit Research](https://www.bizora.ai/audit-research): Audit research, Vault, Canvas, and workflow capabilities.
