Papr

Application

Papr WorkApplication

Local desktop application where users describe a sales, marketing or customer workflow in chat and AI agents build it as an app that keeps running, connected to calendar, email and CRM tools and to the user's choice of model (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or a local Ollama model); offered through a waitlist and no price is published.

API service

Papr GraphAPI service

API that upgrades the vector embeddings a team already has into graph-aware embeddings: one call at index time attaches 14 relational dimensions (entities, relations, time, ownership) to each vector and one call at query time reranks the top results, keeping the user's embedding model and vector database; processed in memory and not stored, with VPC deployment and audit logs for enterprise teams.
