A multimedia paper-analysis workflow that turns one paper into nine ways of reading it: download the PDF from arXiv and extract the text, run term-frequency stats to spot research hotspots, convert to audio for anytime listening, generate a two-host podcast script and synthesize the audio, then build an interactive web explainer, a slide deck, a one-image summary, and finally analyze citation links to map the academic lineage. Hours of literature reading become a complete listen-watch-present package.

FAQ

Any text-extractable PDF works — arXiv is just the default source. For scanned PDFs, run OCR first; the workflow will flag low-quality extraction before continuing.
