Paperpal, the AI-powered academic writing assistant by Cactus Communications (CACTUS), has unveiled two transformative features designed to empower institutional partners and enhance research productivity. The newly introduced Overleaf Extension and Centralized User Management Dashboard cater specifically to the needs of researchers, librarians, and academic institutions, providing tools to simplify and streamline scientific writing and license management.
Revolutionizing LaTeX Writing with Overleaf Integration
The Paperpal Overleaf Extension is a groundbreaking tool for users of LaTeX, a popular document preparation system among researchers and academicians. By integrating directly with Overleaf, the extension provides seamless grammar and language suggestions in real-time, while preserving LaTeX source codes. Accessible through a Chrome extension and currently available for free, this feature empowers users to refine their academic writing effortlessly without switching platforms.
Librarians, in particular, will benefit from this integration as it enhances their ability to support students, researchers, and faculty members engaged in complex academic writing tasks using LaTeX. Future updates to the extension are expected to include advanced AI capabilities, such as citation assistance, paraphrasing tools, and Paperpal’s AI writing functionalities, further bolstering its utility across platforms like Microsoft Word and the web.
Optimizing License Utilization with a Centralized Dashboard
The introduction of the Centralized User Management Dashboard is another significant stride in Paperpal’s mission to simplify academic support for institutions. Designed with librarians and administrators in mind, the dashboard offers complete visibility and control over institutional licenses.
Key features include detailed insights into purchased, active, and unused licenses, as well as the ability to identify active, inactive, and deactivated users. This enables institutions to reallocate licenses with ease, ensuring optimal utilization and maximizing the return on investment in writing tools. By offering flexibility and transparency, the dashboard supports data-driven decision-making and enhances the management of resources.
Driving Scholarly Output Through Advanced AI
Nishchay Shah, Chief Technology Officer and Head of AI Products at CACTUS – “With the new capabilities of the Overleaf Extension and the Centralized User Management dashboard, Paperpal strives to make cutting-edge, privacy-focused AI tools more accessible to academic institutions, fostering increased research productivity and scholarly output. By leveraging advanced AI technology, CACTUS is committed to developing impactful tools that address the needs of the research community.”
A Comprehensive AI Toolkit for Researchers
With its cross-platform presence on the web, Microsoft Word, and now Overleaf, Paperpal has become a versatile writing companion for institutions. These new features underline its role as a comprehensive AI toolkit that supports the entire research writing lifecycle—from conceptualization to publication.
As Paperpal continues to innovate, it reinforces its position as a trusted partner for academic institutions worldwide, enabling researchers and librarians to achieve greater efficiency and accuracy in their scholarly endeavors.
