Reads every document for you
With Apple Intelligence, Papers turns a blurry scan into something useful. Each document gets a clean title, sensible tags, and the key details pulled out where you can see them.
- Clean titles, written automatically
- Tags picked for you, always editable
- Amounts, due dates, parties, and reference numbers, with the most important flagged
- Insights that tell you what a document actually means for you
Never miss a deadline
Papers notices due dates and turns them into action items, so the bill you scanned in July does not surprise you in September.
- A "Needs Attention" rail that surfaces what is coming up
- One tap adds an item to Apple Reminders or Calendar
- Documents with upcoming dates appear automatically
Just ask, in plain words
Ask questions about your whole library, a list, a tag, or a single document. "When does my lease end?" gets a real answer, with the source documents cited as tappable chips.
- Answers always cite the documents they came from
- Semantic search finds meaning, not just matching words
- Instant keyword search as a fallback, so search always works
