Introducing Ibby AI

June 28, 2025

We are Ibby AI and we are exploring building applications that can reason and take actions on behalf of users. We're inspired by Tony Stark's relationship with his Iron Man suit and JARVIS. Just as the Iron Man suit augments Tony's capabilities—allowing him to fly, lift heavy objects, and perform superhuman feats—while also being able to operate autonomously (flying to him on command or executing pre-programmed missions), we envision AI applications that work both as a powerful augmentation tool and an intelligent agent.

This dual nature is key to our vision: AI should amplify your abilities when you're actively engaged, helping you think faster, work smarter, and achieve more. But it should also be capable of acting independently when appropriate—completing tasks while you sleep, monitoring for important changes, or handling routine work so you can focus on what matters most. Like Tony's suit, the best AI is both an extension of yourself and a capable partner.

How can we create AI systems that truly augment human capabilities? In our vision, AI should seamlessly integrate into your workflow, understanding context, anticipating needs, and executing complex tasks with minimal friction. Unlike traditional software that requires explicit commands for every action, we imagine AI that can reason about your goals and proactively assist in achieving them.

We're currently in the experimentation phase, exploring what's possible with today's AI technologies. Our approach is to start small, learn fast, and build practical tools that demonstrate the potential of AI agents in real-world applications.

Our first product is search-papers, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows users to search papers from ArXiv directly from AI applications like Claude Desktop and Cursor. This tool enables AI assistants to access and reason about academic research, making it easier for researchers, students, and curious minds to explore scientific literature through natural conversation.

Today, we're focused on building practical AI tools that enhance productivity and expand what's possible with human-AI collaboration. We look forward to a future where AI is a trusted partner in achieving your goals. What would you like your AI assistant to help you accomplish?
