This project provides an AI-powered tool for researchers and students to accelerate academic writing by generating content and finding relevant literature. It aims to streamline the research and drafting process, making it faster and more efficient to produce academic papers.

How It Works

The system integrates AI writing capabilities with a literature search function. Users can interact with the AI for writing suggestions or answers to queries. The "Find Literature" feature queries Semantic Scholar, arXiv, or PubMed based on keywords, incorporating the retrieved information directly into the user's paper. The generated content is editable within an integrated editor.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Docker: docker pull 14790897/paperai:latest and docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e NEXT_PUBLIC_AI_URL=your_ai_model_url -e NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key 14790897/paperai:latest
• Local: Clone the repository, run npm install, and then npm run dev.
• Prerequisites: OpenAI API Key is required. Semantic Scholar and PubMed API keys can be optionally provided to increase request limits.
• Demo: paperai.life
• Docs: English Documentation (Note: The README links to a Bilibili video tutorial, not a dedicated documentation website.)

Highlighted Details

• AI-powered writing assistance and content generation.
• Literature search integration with Semantic Scholar, arXiv, and PubMed.
• In-app editor for modifying AI-generated content.
• Deployment options via Docker or Vercel.

Maintenance & Community

The project is maintained by a single author (14790897). Community interaction channels are not explicitly mentioned in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: MIT License.
• Compatibility: The MIT license generally permits commercial use and linking with closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The project relies on external API keys for core functionality, and the quality of AI output is dependent on the underlying AI model and user prompts. The README does not detail specific performance benchmarks or known limitations of the literature search or AI writing components.
