Aidan, Shaan and I wanted to have an interactive-audio version of the
arXiv to listen and discuss papers during our commute.

ekoAcademic is a small tool that generates short, accessible audio
summaries of recent academic papers. It's a simple idea: you don't
always have time to dive into a full paper, but you can listen to
short summaries while walking, commuting or doing chores, and then
decide if you want to dig deeper. We've also added a functionality
for conversations and verbal Q&A so you can ask questions and
understand recent literature in a conversational way. This works in
many languages. This means that when you interact with the audio
summary, you can ask it questions in your own language, and it should
automatically answer in the same language.

How it works

  * We extract newly released papers (mirroring the arXiv
    categories), process/summarise them and then generate a short
    audio clip for each paper.
  * We then have several GPT-realtime sessions designed for Q&A, or
    summarisation of sets of papers. By allowing microphone access
    you can always stop it and ask questions (in any language!).
  * Non-interactive podcasts are stored, so once one person listens
    to one, they no longer need to be generated again for anyone
    else.
  * This means that it is relatively cheap for us to generate new
    podcasts, and we can do it in real-time.
  * We right now work mostly with the arxiv, but if people would find
    it useful to have it for other databases, we can add it.

Feedback

We'd love to receive any feedback from this community:

  * Does this solve a pain you have?
  * What subject areas are missing (if yours isn't covered yet)?
  * Could the other language options for interactive discussion be
    useful for you? Should we translate more of the site?
  * Any concerns (accuracy of summaries, missing context)?
  * Do people actually like to do this on their commute? Or is that
    more of a time to unwind?
  * How can we make it more useful for the community?
  * Are there any features that you would like to see?

Thanks for reading. We built this because we felt this need ourselves
- if others feel it too, maybe this can be a small tool to help.
