The record

Purpose: PaperPilot adds a Summarize button to research paper pages and generates structured AI summaries for triage.
Summary sections: Summaries cover Problem, Approach, Key Results, Limitations, Related Work, and Why It Matters.
Workflow: It extracts paper text from the page and streams a summary into a sidebar; cached papers return instantly.
Publisher coverage: It supports 14 publishers: arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, PubMed, Nature, Science, ScienceDirect, Springer, Wiley, PLOS, Frontiers, MDPI, ACM, and IEEE.
Source links: Each summary section links to its supporting passage in the source paper.
PDF support: The Chrome extension side panel works on every tab, including PDFs.
Integrations: Google handles sign-in, Stripe handles billing, and Anthropic provides the language model for summaries.
Data handling: Paper text is sent to the API for summary generation and is not persisted afterward; generated summaries are cached by canonical paper ID.
Privacy claims: PaperPilot says it does not train models on user content, sell or rent personal data, or use advertising trackers, session replay, or browser fingerprinting.
Account deletion: Users can request account deletion by email, and PaperPilot says it will remove profile and usage history within seven days.
Support: Support questions, bug reports, and feature requests can be sent to [email protected].
Summary caveat: The terms say AI-generated summaries may contain errors and should not replace reading the source paper.
Price from: $4.92/mo
