Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck.
Enter, Now I Get It!
I made this app for curious people. Simply upload an article and after a few minutes you'll have an interactive web page showcasing the highlights. Generated pages are stored in the cloud and can be viewed from a gallery.
Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves.
Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash.
A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting:
  • This is a pure convenience app. I could just as well use a saved prompt in Claude, but sometimes it's nice to have a niche-focused app. It's just cognitively easier, IMO.
  • The app was built for myself and colleagues in various scientific fields. It can take an hour or more to read a detailed paper so this is like an on-ramp.
  • The app is a place for me to experiment with using LLMs to translate scientific articles into software. The space is pregnant with possibilities.
  • Everything in the app is the result of agentic engineering, e.g. plans, specs, tasks, execution loops. I swear by Beads (GitHub - steveyegge/beads: Beads - A memory upgrade for your coding agent) by Yegge and also make heavy use of Beads Viewer (Show HN: Beads Viewer (Bv) | Hacker News) and Destructive Command Guard (Show HN: Destructive_command_guard (Dcg) | Hacker News) by Jeffrey Emanuel.
  • I'm an AWS fan and have been impressed by Opus' ability to write good CFN. It still needs a bunch of guidance around distributed architecture but way better than last year.
