Hey everyone! We're launching PaperMachine on Product Hunt tomorrow (Sept 18) as part of the GPT-6 Astra Challenge.
The problem: AI data analysts are black boxes. You ask a question, you get a chart but when a reviewer asks "how did you get this number?", the answer lives nowhere. For researchers and analysts, that's a trust problem, not a convenience problem.
PaperMachine is a desktop app that runs Python and R on your own machine. The difference: every step shows the exact code it ran, and every chart traces back to the code, log, and environment that produced it. Nothing arrives out of a black box.
Built for this challenge with GPT-6 Astra itself a full desktop app with local kernels, artifact provenance, and chart editing, assembled through Astra's multi-step agentic coding. The app is its own demo.
PaperMachine is the AI analyst that shows its work: ask in one sentence, it runs Python & R on your machine, tracing every chart back to the code, log, and environment behind it. Built with GPT-6 Astra — this app is its own demo.
