Monday: "This paper looks essential!" download
Tuesday: "Ooh, looks interesting!" download
Wednesday: "Just in case..." download
Thursday: "Wait, didn't I already...?"
Friday: 500 PDFs stare back, unread.
If this feels a little too familiar... same.
That's why I built PaperClerk AI — a lightweight, local, AI-powered assistant that finally keeps your research library under control.
What it does
- Finds all your PDFs scattered across your machine
- Summarizes them with a local LLaMA model (via Ollama)
- Tells you exactly what the paper is about — no more guessing from filenames
- Lets you auto-keep / auto-skip / auto-archive based on your interests
- Emails you a neat digest every day or week
All private. All local. All fast.
If your "Read Later" folder has quietly become a PDF graveyard... this might actually help.
