PaperDebugger is an AI-powered academic writing assistant that helps researchers debug and improve their research papers with intelligent suggestions and seamless Overleaf integration, without leaving the editor. It is powered by our custom MCP-based orchestration engine that simulates the full academic workflow Research → Critique → Revision. This enables multi-step reasoning, reviewer-style critique, and structured revision passes beyond standard chat-based assistance.
Our team is actively working to improve long-term reliability, hoping to iron out issues this month. Thank you for your patience. Stay connected with the PaperDebugger community! Join our Discord or WeChat channels for updates, announcements, and support.
PaperDebugger never modifies your project, it only reads and provides suggestions.
