You're looking at the first public release of the IPMI Library. The full 50-year archive is still loading — the document count will grow past 2,000, the directory will expand to every active member, and major new capabilities are landing each month. Your feedback shapes what comes next.
Magic-link email sign-in tied to your IPMI member email. No passwords to remember, no friction at the door.
Access is tied to your verified IPMI member email. Only registered members reach the library.
Enter your email, receive a sign-in link, click once. No password reset loops, no forgotten credentials.
For demos and testing, a shared access password keeps the door open without affecting member accounts.
You're reminded that results are AI-generated and should be verified — before you ever ask a question.
Conversational access to fifty years of conference papers, white papers, presentations, and industry analysis — with every answer traceable back to its source.
The welcome screen surfaces what the community is reading right now. Rotating selections drawn from real activity.
Five curated entry points — Clean Energy, Nanoparticle Research, Financing, Industry Trends, Find a Member — get you from blank slate to insight in one click.
Every response includes numbered footnotes linking directly to the source documents. No black-box guesses — open, traceable, verifiable.
Answers don't stop at the document. The chat also surfaces the people behind the work — "6 IPMI members you may want to contact" — turning research into relationships.

A single question returns matching documents, summarized, alongside the IPMI members most likely to help.
Browse or filter by category, year, file type, or topic. Switch between a visual grid and a scannable list — whichever way your brain works today.
Cards show the title, category, host conference, AI-generated summary, key tags, and file metadata at a glance.
10 categories, 14 years (1991–2026), 4 file types, 30+ key topics. Stack as many as you need.
The library stays current. New documents added to the source bucket appear with one tap of "Sync from R2."
For power users who'd rather see 24 rows at a time. Sortable by name, category, conference, year, author, size.
View or download every document directly from the list — no detail-page detour required.
Adjust density on the fly. Bulk-browse 236 results without paging through ten times.
Detail pages give you the AI-generated summary, the key topics, the descriptive tags, the host conference — and the IPMI members who authored it.
Authors and contributing organizations appear inline. Member avatars link straight to their directory profile.
Browse the precious metals community by person or by company. Search by name, role, country. The directory turns five decades of membership into a living network.
Cards show avatar, name, company, role, and location. 226 members have added photos to date.
Search by name, company, role, or country. Filter by country, photo status, or combine — find precisely the person you need.
The directory is still in active expansion. Each release adds capability — profile editing, AI-inferred expertise, company team views.
The same 536 members, organized by their 336 employers. Member counts, team avatars, locations.
Tap "View team →" on any company to jump straight to that organization's members — a fast bridge from company name to specific people.
Sort by name to scan the A–Z, or by team size to see the largest member organizations first.
Members can now shape how they appear in the directory — write a bio, claim specialties, share contact links, and choose what stays private. Hidden fields are stripped server-side, not just hidden in the UI.
A free-text introduction up to 1,200 characters. Tell the community your background, focus areas, and what you're working on right now.
Self-curated chips like "Rhodium Refining" or "Catalyst Recovery." Up to 20, auto-deduplicated, surfaced on your directory card.
Read-only signals derived from your authored documents and library activity. They sit alongside your self-claimed tags, never replacing them.
Add your LinkedIn and personal site. They appear on your member card so peers can reach out in the channel that suits them.
Hide email, phone, or company from the directory. These aren't UI tricks — hidden fields are stripped from the response before it leaves the server.
Your profile surfaces a live count of papers you've contributed to the library. Built-in proof of expertise, no claims required.
The Edit Profile modal, rendered in IPMI brand colors.
The IPMI Library brings every conference paper, every contributor, and every member into a single intelligence platform built exclusively for the precious metals community.

Conversational AI answers questions in plain language and cites the documents it drew from. No more scrolling through PDFs for a single number.
Every document links to its IPMI member authors. Every answer surfaces the members most likely to help. Research turns into relationships.
536 members across 336 companies, searchable by name, role, country, or company. The community made findable.
Shape how you appear in the directory — bio, specialties, contact links — and choose exactly what stays private.
One-tap sign-in tied to your IPMI email. No passwords to manage. Access only for the community that built this knowledge.
The library you see today is the first public release. Document counts, member coverage, and capabilities will grow significantly through Phase II and beyond. Here's what's loading next.
The library is a living resource — and the members who use it know best what's missing from it. Inside the platform, the "Have a suggestion?" button at the bottom of every session sends your feedback straight to the IPMI team.
