Paper Helper
Drop in a paper — get a structured summary or a term search with page-number estimation.
What it does
Drag in a PDF, .docx, or .txt of a chemistry or biochem paper. Clara can summarise it for you, or you can search for a specific term and get the surrounding context with an approximate page number — handy for citing in essays or lab reports.
Highlights
- ✓PDF, DOCX, and TXT — up to 20 MB
- ✓Summary mode (uses credits) or Find mode (free, runs locally)
- ✓Page-number estimation for citations
- ✓Files are parsed once and never stored on the server
What you get back
- →Summarise: a structured digest of the paper
- →Find: every match for your search term with surrounding context + an approximate page number
