Where research
works
Papers AI brings your writing, data, references and code into the same flow, so you can follow the thought without rebuilding the context.
Built by Overleaf, the scientific writing platform trusted by over 25 million people worldwide
Write. Run. Reason.
Write with a partner that knows your project
Papers AI can see all your work, helping you leap quickly from notes and ideas to polished final drafts.
Run analysis and code without switching tools
Your data, code, and notebooks live alongside your writing.
Deep thinking, kept in sync
Papers AI helps you think across your whole project, make connections, sync up ideas, and get to conclusions faster.
One workspace. Every format. All the context.
Write, analyze, run data, and collaborate, all in one place.
Your code belongs to you
Papers AI is an offline-first workspace. Files live on your device and compilers run in your browser. You can save to the cloud to work across devices or collaborate. The choice is always yours.
Your files stay on your device
Projects live in your local storage unless you decide to save them to the cloud. It's up to you.
Compiles in your browser
LaTeX, Typst, MyST, and Jupyter all run on your machine. No server queue, no round trip. Works offline too.
Add local AI models
If you want to use your own local AI model, point Papers AI at Ollama or LM Studio. You choose what reads your work.

“I am already planning to move to this platform. Running code and writing in the same place is exactly what I need.”
“It integrates all the tools I use, and the AI actually uses context from that place to answer my question.”
“I don't have to upload these documents separately for the AI to use them. I haven't seen that anywhere else.”
Work together. Online or off.
Edit alongside coauthors, comment in margin, and see exactly who changed what. Built to enable conflict-free collaboration, whether you're at your desk or on a plane.
Follow along in real-time
Multi-user editing with sub-50ms presence in any format: .tex, .docx, .ipynb.
Threaded review
Resolve, reopen, @mention. Everything you need to keep track of the conversation.
Reviewable history
Every edit attributed and reversible.
Frequently asked questions
Your files stay on your device by default. Nothing syncs to our servers unless you turn on collaboration for that project.
Yes. Papers AI runs locally. Check your institution's data policy for any project involving identifiable human subject data.
No. Your projects are never used for model training.
Yes. Connect an OpenRouter key or local model via Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Overleaf is built for writing in LaTeX. While Papers AI does support LaTeX, it supports multiple formats and is built for the whole research project — one workspace for writing, data, and code, in whatever format you and your coauthors already use.
Papers by ReadCube is now just ReadCube. Papers AI is a workspace for all your research needs, from writing to code, in whatever format you prefer.
