The problem it solves

You want to keep up with new research in your field, but reading full papers takes too much time. Skimming abstracts often leaves you unsure if an article is worth a deeper read.

Who it fits

Professionals and self-learners who need to stay current on scientific literature without reading full papers.

How it works

  1. You save a PDF of a research article to a folder on your computer
  2. The system reads the entire document automatically
  3. AI reviews the content and writes a detailed summary
  4. The summary is saved to a folder for you to read anytime
What you get

Research papers boiled down to what matters

You get a clear, plain-English summary of any research paper you save, ready to read whenever you have a moment.

What you get

A saved summary document that captures the key findings of the research article.

What you need

A computer with an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
