About PaperPilot · Research Paper Summarizer

PaperPilot drops a Summarize button onto every paper page so you can triage research in seconds, not hours. Click once and get a structured AI summary of the paper, without copy-pasting into a chat window. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open a paper. The Summarize button appears in the corner. You can also click the PaperPilot toolbar icon to open the side panel, which works on every tab including PDFs. 2. Click Summarize. PaperPilot reads the page, extracts the paper text, and streams a structured summary into the sidebar in seconds. 3. Decide in 30 seconds. Six sections you can scan: Problem, Approach, Key Results, Limitations, Related Work, Why It Matters. FEATURES • Toolbar icon and side panel for one-click summarization on any tab, including PDFs. • Each summary section links back to the supporting passage in the source paper, so you can jump straight to the evidence with one click. • Cached summaries are instant. If someone else already summarized a paper, you get the result in milliseconds. • Higher-quality model output for Pro subscribers. • Sign in with Google. No password to manage. • Modern, clean sidebar that stays out of the way. PRICING • Free: 5 summaries per month. Cached summaries are unlimited and don't count against the quota. • Pro: $9 per month, or $59 per year (save 46%). Unlimited summaries and faster model output. Cancel any time from the Manage link in the sidebar (opens Stripe's billing portal). PRIVACY PaperPilot is built for researchers. We mean it. • We do not train models on your usage or your paper content. • We log only the canonical paper ID (arxiv:1706.03762, doi:10.1038/...), never the page text after the summary is generated. • Google handles sign-in. Stripe handles billing. We never see your password or your card. • No third-party trackers. No ad pixels. No session replay. No fingerprinting. Full privacy policy: https://paperpilot.tools/privacy SUPPORT Email kavinvenkat86@gmail.com with questions, bug reports, or feature requests. We answer fast. CHANGELOG / WHAT'S NEW v0.0.1 — Initial release. 14 supported publishers, side panel, PDF support, Stripe checkout, source-linked sections.
