AI PDF copilot for people who still want to do the thinking

Navigate and understand all of PDFs including images, tables, equations and more

Everything about reading a paper, made faster.

Read

A fast, native, keyboard-driven reader built for long papers, with buffers, split views, and a command palette so you rarely reach for the mouse. Hover a citation to preview where it points, or an equation to copy its LaTeX.

Understand

Ask a question and the assistant answers on the page. It jumps to the passage and highlights the exact lines, so you can follow the argument rather than skim a summary. Every highlight lands on real text you can check yourself.

Find

Search across every paper you’ve read, by meaning or by exact wording, or grep a single document and jump straight to the hit. Each PDF is processed once and stays searchable, so your library gets more useful over time.

How it works

Plum turns a PDF into something both your reading and your AI can actually work with.

1

Open any PDF

Plum builds a structured, searchable model of it: layout, text, equations, references, and embeddings.

2

Ask, read, find

The assistant works over that model to answer on the page, and search runs across your whole library.

3

Use the AI you already have

Plum can run on your own AI. Connect a tool like Claude or bring your own key, so you’re never locked to one provider.
