Note
Let's face it, nobody has the bandwidth, nor the patience to go through entire papers every single day.
But that doesn't mean you will have to miss out on all these interesting launches everyday!
Use ArionXiv, automate it! Its absolutely FREE for all!
pip install arionxivImportant
If the command is not found after installation, add Python scripts to PATH:
Windows (PowerShell):
python -c "import sysconfig; p=sysconfig.get_path('scripts'); import os; os.system(f'setx PATH \"%PATH%;{p}\"')"macOS / Linux:
echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:$(python3 -c 'import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path(\"scripts\"))')\"" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrcImportant
The first command you should always run is this, it'll display the welcome screen and guide you through the initial setup.:

First-time users must create an account to use ArionXiv:
arionxiv register # Create a new account (required for first-time users)
arionxiv login # Login to existing accountOnce registered, you can access all features including paper search, AI analysis, chat, and personalized recommendations.
That's it. No API keys or configuration required.
Configure your keywords, time, and number of papers (max 10) - and you'll have analysis of all these papers ready for you the next time you come in.
(I use it to run analysis overnight, so I can quickly skim through the papers in the morning.)
