PaperLM is in active development. Here's what we've been shipping for ML researchers.
Comics generated in Advanced mode now show the script that produced them, right under the image. Tweak a line of dialogue, drop a panel, or rename a character, then hit Redraw from script — the comic is redrawn from exactly your edited script, with no rewriting in between. The last mile of getting a comic just right.
Comic generation has a new Advanced mode: it writes the comic script first — cast, panels, and the exact words in every speech bubble — and only then draws it. That means far fewer duplicated panels, garbled lettering, and bubbles pointing at the wrong character. Pick it under Comic generation when you start an analysis, or when you regenerate a comic you're not happy with. Simple one-pass mode is still the default.
Every "additional instructions" box — for new analyses, review reruns, and single-stage regenerations like the X/Twitter thread — now accepts up to 5,000 characters and grows into a resizable multi-line field. Long, detailed prompts no longer get cut off.
Updating a review from chat now always shows the new version right away — previously, if you had opened the review editor, the page could keep showing the old text even though the update succeeded. If you have unsaved edits when a review changes underneath you, a banner now lets you choose between your draft and the latest version.
Got a paper that isn't on arXiv or OpenReview — or a camera-ready copy on your disk? Drop the PDF right on the Analyze a Paper page and it runs through the exact pipeline you configured, no workspace needed. Available on plans with direct PDF upload.
OpenReview recently put automated downloads behind a bot check, which broke analyses of OpenReview papers (including the ICML 2026 award papers). PaperLM now fetches those PDFs through OpenReview's official signed-in API, so forum links analyze normally again.
If a paper analysis ever stalls — usually when an image model has a temporary outage — it no longer hangs forever. It now retries automatically in the background, and the paper page surfaces a clear status with one-tap Re-run and Cancel so you're always in control.
Not happy with a review? Regenerate it with a different template, model, critique on or off, or your own instructions — straight from the paper page. The new review lands as a fresh version, and your previous one is kept and stays restorable, so you can compare and switch back anytime.
Turn a workspace into a blog post, essay, slide outline, or anything custom — generated from the materials you pick (sources, the multi-review, deep-research reports, even other documents), then refined, versioned, and reusable as an input to the next document. You can also save a whole chat answer, or just a selected passage, straight into a document.
No more regenerating from scratch. Steer the multi-review with instructions, refine a finished research report in place (a quick Edit, or send the agent back out for more), and hand-edit the multi-review, reports, or documents yourself when you know better — every change saved as a restorable version. Deep-research runs also got a clear, labeled run switcher.
Attach a specific deep-research report or saved document to a workspace chat so the model works directly against it — summarize it, compare it to your sources, and more.
After untold engineering heroics, sleepless nights, and at least one heated design review, we have done what every serious product must eventually do: added a light/dark theme toggle. Truly, civilization advances. It lives in the header, follows your system preference by default, and remembers your choice — so you can flip between blinding white and cozy dark to your heart's content. You're welcome.
Notes now render full markdown (math, code, lists, tables) and can expand to full screen. Saving a selection from chat keeps its formatting, and the side panel jumps to the prefilled note. Clearing a chat or deleting a note is also undoable now, and the chat-clear button moved so you can't wipe a conversation by mis-clicking.
Combine several papers in one workspace: add analyzed papers, paste arXiv/OpenReview/PDF links, or upload PDFs, then chat across all of them (with optional full-PDF grounding) and generate a cross-paper review that synthesizes the whole set — plus images, comics, and social posts. You can also run Google's Deep Research agent right from a workspace: it proposes a plan you refine, investigates the web, and returns a cited report you can keep chatting about.
Type @ in chat to pull another paper's review into the conversation and ask how the two compare — references stay in context until you remove them. You can also @-mention papers in the review instructions when starting a new analysis, and the new review will compare against and link to them.
Deleted papers now go to a Trash you can restore from, with automatic cleanup after 30 days. Mistakes are finally undoable.
Chat now lets you pick the model, toggle live web search and URL context, and renders rich formatted answers — in a cleaner tabbed, expandable side rail. Ask harder questions, get better-grounded answers.
Choose exactly which Gemini model powers each stage of the pipeline — speed where you want it, maximum reasoning where it matters. Reruns now build on your latest edited review.
Save your favorite pipeline configurations as named, reusable templates. Set it up once, reuse it on every paper.
Spotted something off? A floating report button lets you flag it in seconds — and we triage it fast.
We rebuilt the backend on Go with a dedicated queue-based worker — analyses are faster, survive cold starts, and never get stuck or double-run. Failed stages now show clear, human-readable errors instead of cryptic codes.
Paid plans run pipeline stages in parallel — your full review, visuals, and social posts land dramatically faster.
Pick from curated visual style presets per language, or define your own. Make summaries that match your taste.
Analyze papers from custom PDF URLs, not just arXiv and OpenReview.
Reviews are now powered by versioned, tunable prompt bundles — more consistent, higher-quality output.
Read the paper side-by-side with its review, with inline highlights and annotations.
Talk to any paper, keep your own notes, and edit reviews with live preview — every change versioned so you can always go back.
Turn dense papers into shareable comic-panel summaries — perfect for slides and social.
Star, archive, and switch between list and card views with thumbnails. Build a knowledge base you'll actually revisit.
Full LaTeX math, rich markdown, and HTML rendering — papers look the way they should.
The first paper-analysis pipeline goes live — paste an arXiv link, get a structured, multi-agent review. From the creator of ArXivIQ (200+ AI paper reviews).
Join the waitlist and be first to try new features as they land.
