PapertLab

PapertLab – Open AI Pair Programmer is an AI-assisted coding assistant designed for real-time collaboration with large language models to edit code within your local Git repositories or any codebase. It aims to simulate a true pair programming partner, offering intelligent guidance, automated tasks, and seamless integration with your development workflow.

How PapertLab Works

• Installs required tools (Universal Ctags, PapertLab) on macOS/Linux or Windows.
• Connects to your local project and your Git history to provide context-aware suggestions and edits.
• Integrates with your editor/IDE to enable real-time collaboration, code explanations, debugging help, and best-practice advice.
• Uses GPT-4o / Claude 3.5 Sonnet optimizations for high-quality code suggestions and improvements.

Modes

1. Ask Mode – Get instant answers to coding questions, explanations of specific code parts, best practices, or programming concepts.
2. Code Mode – Collaborate in real-time while you write, refactor, or debug with real-time suggestions and co-editing.
3. Auto-Pilot Mode (Beta) – Autonomous routine coding tasks: automated code generation, intelligent completion, and proactive bug detection. Currently tested with Python.
