Paperclip
Open-source orchestration for zero-human companies
...By acting as a middleware layer, Paperclip aggregates multiple academic databases and exposes them through a single interface, allowing AI applications to search and retrieve scholarly papers without needing to integrate with each provider individually. The system supports repositories such as arXiv, OpenAlex, and the Open Science Framework, giving AI agents access to a large body of research literature. Instead of requiring separate APIs and authentication flows for each service, Paperclip provides unified search and retrieval capabilities that simplify integration into AI workflows.
