PaperDebugger is an AI-powered academic writing assistant delivered as a Chrome extension that integrates directly into Overleaf for in-editor writing, review, and editing of LaTeX papers. It uses a custom MCP-based multi-agent orchestration engine simulating a Research → Critique → Revision workflow, and supports self-hosted deployment.

Use cases

  • polish and rewrite paragraphs of a LaTeX paper without leaving Overleaf
  • get reviewer-style critique on my manuscript before submission
  • fix academic tone and clarity as a non-native English writer
  • run multi-agent editing and fact-checking passes on a research paper
  • self-host an AI writing assistant for my research group
  • get intelligent suggestions inside the Overleaf editor

When to choose

  • you write papers in LaTeX/Overleaf and want AI help in-editor
  • you want reviewer-style critique and structured revision rather than plain chat
  • you need a self-hostable, open-source academic writing assistant

When to avoid

  • you write in Word or Google Docs instead of Overleaf/LaTeX
  • you need a general-purpose grammar checker outside academic writing
  • you cannot rely on external LLM providers or a hosted backend
