What is Prismer.AI?

Prismer.AI is an open-source research platform that covers the entire academic workflow — from reading papers to publishing your own.

Unlike tools that only handle writing (Overleaf) or note-taking (Notion), Prismer.AI integrates:

Feature	Description
📖 Paper Reading	AI-native PDF reader with citation graphs
☁️ Context Cloud	Cloud-based knowledge management with SDK
📊 Data Analysis	Jupyter notebooks with Python/R execution
✍️ Paper Writing	LaTeX editor with real-time preview
🔍 Citation Verification	Auto-checks references against academic databases
🤖 Multi-Agent System	Orchestrate specialized AI agents for research

✨ Key Features

📖 Paper Reader

AI-native PDF reader for research papers with:

• Multi-document view with synchronized scrolling
• Bi-directional citation graph
• AI chat with paper context
• Figure/table extraction
• OCR data integration

☁️ Context Cloud

Cloud-based context management with full SDK support:

import { ContextCloudClient } from '@prismer/context-cloud-sdk';

const client = new ContextCloudClient({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

// Create context and query
const context = await client.contexts.create({ name: 'Research Project' });
const response = await client.query({
  contextId: context.id,
  question: 'What are the main findings?'
});

✍️ LaTeX Editor

Modern LaTeX editor with:

• Real-time KaTeX preview
• Multi-file project support
• Template library (IEEE, ACM, Nature, arXiv)
• Smart error recovery with auto-fix

🔍 Citation Verification

LLMs fabricate citations. Prismer.AI solves this with a Reviewer Agent that validates every reference against academic databases (arXiv, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef) before it appears in your paper.
