This guide gets you from zero to a working project.

Before you start

Paperzilla starts project setup in a guided chat on the public site. You describe the research topic you want to track, then Paperzilla proposes categories and keywords before you save the project.
  • You can start without an account.
  • Have a short description of your research interest ready.
  • You add your email only when you save delivery.

Step 1: create a project from chat

  1. Open paperzilla.ai.
  2. Click Create your research feed.
  3. Describe the research topic you want to track.
  4. Review the proposal:
    • interest description
    • keywords Paperzilla will boost
    • keywords Paperzilla will skip
    • source categories
  5. Click Set up delivery.

Step 2: save project delivery

  1. Add a Project name.
  2. Choose Email frequency: Daily or Weekly.
  3. If prompted, add Your name and Your email.
  4. Click Save project.
If you started without an account, Paperzilla sends a verification code by email. Enter the code to activate the project.
  • Daily sends email when new relevant papers are ready. If nothing new qualifies, no daily email is sent.
  • Weekly keeps your feed live but sends one scheduled email with the best-scoring papers from the past week.

Step 3: open and manage your project

After save, Paperzilla opens your project feed or a preparing project page while first results are still building. From the project page, you can:
  • Open Paper Feed to review matching papers
  • Open Project Settings
  • Click Edit Project to change categories, interests, and keywords
  • Click Edit Email Delivery to change frequency, max papers per email, or pause emails
  • Click Copy RSS/Atom URL
  • Open Paper Digests
  • Open View Summaries after summaries exist

Step 4: choose how you read

Step 5: refine relevance over time

As papers arrive, improve precision by editing:
  • interest text
  • include keywords
  • exclude keywords
  • Include adjacent papers
You can also rate papers in the feed as Useful, Very useful, or Not for me. Use project management for details.
