TL;DR: Forward your scholar email alerts to inbox@paperzilla.ai and wait for the magic to happen :)
Here's a beta invite for early Paperzilla users like you. Low effort to try, and it could save you a lot of inbox-skimming time if you set it up.
Paper alerts pile up fast. Google Scholar alerts, journal tables of contents, Hugging Face digests, and the "this might be relevant" email from a colleague can all disappear under the rest of your inbox.
Paperzilla already checks preprint sources every day. It does not read your inbox, which is probably healthy for everyone. But it also means some good papers never make it into your feed.
So I built a side door.
Forward those alerts to inbox@paperzilla.ai. Paperzilla pulls out the papers, drops the duplicates, checks them against your project's research topic, and sends the good matches through the Paperzilla channels you already use.
What happens after you hit forward
If Paperzilla can read the email, the papers go through the same matching pipeline as everything else. Relevant matches show up in your app feed, digest emails, RSS / Atom, API, CLI, and MCP.
Same feed. More places for papers to sneak in from.
Where to find it
Once you're logged in, you'll see Inbox in the top nav. That's where forwarded emails show up after Paperzilla has processed them.
Paperzilla Forward has the forwarding address, setup notes, and the slightly more responsible version of this pitch.
For now, this is early-user access: you'll see both links when you're logged in, but logged-out visitors won't.
Try it now, 10 seconds of work
Take any Google Scholar alert, journal alert, or paper email and forward it to inbox@paperzilla.ai.
Manual forwarding is fine for the first test. If it works, set up auto-forwarding from your mail client and let Paperzilla do the boring inbox sift.
Check the sender address first
Paperzilla links a forwarded alert to your account by the email address it comes from. Your Paperzilla account is {{ email }}.
If your alerts arrive at a different address, reply to this email before forwarding anything. I'll add the other address as an alias. Otherwise Paperzilla will receive the alert and have no idea whose feed to put it in, which is rude of it, but technically correct.
Beta weirdness
Some email alert formats will be hard to parse the first time we see them.
During the beta, reply if anything looks off. I'll fix bad imports manually and use the examples to teach the parser new formats.
That's it. Please try it and let me know if this is useful. And if it breaks, I want to know that as well.
Cheers,
