# Papers AI docs

Everything you need to help you get the most from Papers AI.

Papers AI is a browser-based workspace where you can write, run code, explore data, manage tasks, and ask an AI about all of it without switching tabs. It opens in any modern browser. 

You can save work on your device and keep everything local or save to the cloud to work across devices and share with collaborators.

New here? Start with the [Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart.md): a quick walkthrough that creates a project, asks the AI about a dataset, and writes up the answer.
