> Documentation for Papiers: the desktop app, the Chrome extension, and the CLI.

## Getting started

Learn the basic Papiers workflow and how the Library, Workspace, and Home fit together.

- [Quickstart](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/quickstart.md): Papiers is a workspace for reading, researching, and working with AI.
- [Library & workspace](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/workspace.md): Papiers has three main views: Home, the Library, and the Workspace. Move between them depending on whether you want to ask, find, or read.

## Build your library

Bring papers, articles, PDFs, posts, and your existing reading into Papiers.

- [Save to Papiers](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/save.md): Add papers, articles, PDFs, and X posts to your library. Drop in files, paste a link, save from Chrome, import from Zotero, or sync your X bookmarks.
- [Chrome extension](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/chrome-extension.md): The Papiers extension lets you save what you’re already reading in Chrome, and highlight articles without leaving the page.
- [Import from Zotero](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/zotero.md): Bring your Zotero library into Papiers with the highlights and notes you’ve already made.
- [Sync X bookmarks](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/x-bookmarks.md): Connect one or more X accounts and bring your bookmarks into Papiers.

## Read & think

Read across formats, highlight what you want to remember, and keep notes alongside the source.

- [Reading](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/reading.md): Papiers adapts the reading experience to what you’re reading, whether it’s a paper, article, or thread.
- [Highlights & notes](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/highlights-and-notes.md): Papiers lets you keep what you read together with what you think about it.

## Ask & understand

Work through what you’re reading with AI, explore academic papers with Atlas, and turn them into presentations.

- [Ask Papiers](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/ask.md): Chat sits beside what you’re reading, so you can bring the source directly into the conversation.
- [Atlas](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/atlas.md): Atlas takes an academic paper and builds a broader view around it.
- [Presentations](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/presentations.md): Papiers can turn an academic paper into a presentation as part of its Atlas.

## Find & revisit

Search across everything you’ve read, highlighted, written, and asked about.

- [Search](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/search.md): Papiers supports semantic and multimodal search over your entire library.

## Share & extend

Share the parts of your reading you found interesting, or give your agents access to your library.

- [Use Papiers with agents](https://wiki.papiers.ai/docs/agents.md): Papiers lets agents read your library from the terminal.
