Congrats with your product, hope it works out well. Nice competitor analysis & (future) features list at https://github.com/KrushnaVardhanReddy/PaperPilot/blob/main/..., IMHO easier to read than your above list.

Question: seemingly you’re using Antigravity, an harness not many use. Please tell use about the choice of LLM and your experience with it.

Thanks for checking out the docs! We used a hybrid workflow: Antigravity IDE paired with Jules for asynchronous sub-tasks (like spinning up isolated unit tests and docs in parallel containers).

Having a strict test-first harness where every PR has to run against real PDF byte fixtures (zero mocks) and compile across CLI, WASM, and MCP kept the codebase consistent even when moving fast.

Thanks for your reply. Will look into Jules [0] [1].

Are you using Antigravity IDE v2.5.5 that hasn't been updated since 2026-08-13 and that supports 3 legacy models + Gemini Flash 3.8? I assume you're using Gemini Flash 3.8?
