- Who it helps
- Researchers and students comparing paper-reading tools
- Availability
- Public AGPL-3.0 source and self-hosted options. AI requires a connected provider or local endpoint; account fees and compute costs depend on that connection.
Where the paper goes
The guide says document text goes to the selected AI service; its PDF option sends the file with each message. Hosting the library yourself does not establish local inference. A custom local endpoint is supported, but its behavior was not tested.
Review changes before accepting them
The guide describes Ask, Allow and Off permissions and undo records. It documents moving pages to Recently deleted, while the README says the agent never deletes a page. Use the installed version and permission screen to resolve this difference before granting changes.
