Prismer.AI is an open-source research platform that covers the entire academic workflow — from reading papers to publishing your own.
This repository currently centers on:
web/: Next.js research workspace (chat panel + multi-editor WindowViewer)docker/: OpenClaw-based container stack and gateway integrationdocs/: Architecture, runbook, contribution and roadmap documentationUnlike tools that only handle writing (Overleaf) or note-taking (Notion), Prismer.AI integrates:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Paper Reading | AI-native PDF reader with citation graphs |
| IM & Agent Protocol | Agent-to-agent messaging, groups, workspaces, real-time events |
| Document Parsing | PDF/document parsing with markdown output |
| 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 |
| Feature | Prismer.AI | OpenAI Prism | Overleaf | Google Scholar |
