Hi Charles,
Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’ve been paying attention to the technologies and opportunities in the AI ecosystem for a while now. I’m happy to share that our team is fully aligned on a technical & product AI integration plan that will make Paperpile users happy across the spectrum: from the casual user who wants better literature access on chatgpt.com, to the academics starting to get comfortable with Claude Code, to the deep tinkerers who want to write scripts against a Paperpile API.
We’ll do this with a combination of: REST API, MCP server, agent plug-ins and deep integration with Paperpile’s existing product surface.
It will take some time to get there, as with all production software. But we’ve mapped out the plan and are hoping to move aggressively to get this in our users’ hands and see what they can make with it.
To show this isn’t idle talk: here’s a screenshot of what I was testing on my computer just today, using a prototype of our MCP server to quickly find a few papers in Claude web and save them to a folder in my library.
We’re excited to meet the opportunity here and deliver platform APIs with some compelling, concrete use cases that empower researchers to better understand the world around them.
We’ll share more news here when it’s ready for early testing. And, as always, if you or anyone else has concrete use cases to share, experiences (positive or negative) with Claude Code or ChatGPT, I’m all ears. Email me greg@paperpile.com, @ me in this forum, or book time with me to chat.
Best,
Greg
