Docent: An AI Assistant for Paper Analysis Built with Claude Code
A developer has built Docent, an AI assistant that analyzes academic papers using Claude Code. The creator, who moved from software engineering to management, notes that AI coding tools lowered the re-entry barrier, enabling this development.
Key Details
The assistant performs three specific functions:
- Reads an uploaded paper and presents it to the user
- Answers questions about the paper
- Assesses the user's understanding or addresses knowledge gaps
The developer states this project is "beyond what I can develop alone" and wouldn't have attempted it without a coding assistant.
Technical Information
The project is available on GitHub under the MIT License. The repository is located at https://github.com/symbiont-ai/docent.
A live demo is hosted on Vercel at https://docent-wine.vercel.app/.
