About
Understand papers in minutes - not hours. For any PDF or research paper (arXiv, bioRxiv, etc.) you can: - Seamlessly chat with AI directly on top of the document. Highlight any section of the paper and "@" other papers to quickly add context and compare results, benchmarks, etc. - Generate beautiful research blogs with figures, key insights, and clear explanations from the paper with just one click. Read in multiple languages. - Bookmark to save and read later. BibTex citations automatically generated. To make this happen, Chrome will ask for permissions to read & change data on all sites. The alphaXiv extension makes no changes other than 1) the presentation of PDFs and 2) the presentation of arXiv abstract pages.
