I'd love to see something like this in chatgpt or claude. The PDFs you can generate there are always so boring.

- davidpapermill 4mo agoThanks Tom, good to see you on HN! You can connect Papermill to your favourite agent via MCP - we prefer Claude Code. https://docs.papermill.io/mcp/#using-the-papermill-mcp-server https://docs.papermill.io/mcp/#using-the-papermill-mcp-serve... You can ask Claude to generate templates, full documents, ask it about the Press language, save templates, ask it about templates and more. There's a lot more to it - design guidelines for print vs web, recipes in Press etc. I've tried it with Fable already and it's a noticeable improvement - we support visual feedback through MCP and I think that's helping Fable a lot.
- tompapermill 4mo agoHi Tom, One of the things we've learned is that models often need more guidance when generating documents. We give real-time feedback to models as they're constructing the document, such as "you have content here that you've done nothing with and doesn't appear in the report as it likely overflowed off the page, you should think of a way to handle this" and "this image is sized incorrectly and just will not fit in the area you've specified". Giving models the tools to create media for print allows both the user and the model to experiment with more wild designs, knowing that things will not randomly break!
