I don't want to downplay the effort here but from my experience you can get yourself a neat interactive summary html with a short prompt and a good model (Opus 4.5+, Codex 5.2+, etc).
replyTotally fair, I addressed this in my original post.
replyCan you give am example of the most useful prompting you find for this? I'd like to interact with papers just so I can have my attention held. I struggle to motivate myself to read through something that's difficult to understand
replyI replied to a comment above with the system prompt.
replySomething I've learned is that the standard, "Summarize this paper" doesn't do a great job because summaries are so subjective. But if you tell a frontier LLM, like Opus 4.6, "Turn this paper into an interactive web page highlighting the most important aspects" it does a really good job. There are still issues with over/under weighting the various aspects of a paper but the models are getting better.
What I find fascinating is that LLMs are great at translation so this is an experiment in translating papers into software, albeit very simple software.
No, it’s not open source. Not sure what I’m doing with it yet.
replyCan you give me more info on why you’d want to install it yourself? Is this an enterprise thing?
It's down and it could be interesting to iterate on.
replyFair.
