arXiv Shorts is an innovative Chrome extension crafted to enhance your experience of reading arXiv papers. Utilizing AI, it generates concise summaries of paper abstracts and extracts essential concepts necessary for understanding the abstract. These concepts are accompanied by brief explanations regarding their relevance and application, making it easier to grasp complex research. This tool aims to save time and improve comprehension, making it an indispensable assistant for anyone involved in academic research or interested in scientific papers.

MyArxivPodcast orchestrates an end-to-end AI pipeline to transform scholarly content into engaging audio shows. First, it polls arXiv APIs for new research submissions in user-defined categories and retrieves metadata and abstracts. Next, it invokes OpenAI's GPT-4 model to craft clear and concise summaries, highlighting key contributions and results. Summaries are fed into a TTS engine such as Amazon Polly or Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, producing natural-sounding narration. The agent automatically tags and organizes the generated audio, compiles episodes, updates an RSS feed, and handles file hosting integration. Advanced settings allow custom voice selection, summary length control, publication schedules, and distribution via popular podcast platforms, providing researchers and listeners with seamless, up-to-date scientific audio briefings.
