How it works

From 40 pages to 2 minutes — instantly.

01
Upload any paper
Drop a PDF of any research paper — published, preprint, or arXiv. Papercuts handles the rest automatically.
02
AI builds the video
Our AI extracts the key findings, methodology, and implications — then generates a narrated short video with visuals.
03
Authors verify it
The paper's lead author is notified and can review the script. Approved videos earn an Author Verified badge.

Author Verified

The badge that means something.

When AI summarizes your research, accuracy matters. That's why we notify the lead author of every paper and invite them to review the script. If they approve — or improve it — the video earns our Author Verified badge.

For researchers, it's a chance to reach thousands of people who would never read the full paper. For learners, it's a guarantee that what they're watching is accurate.

Author Verified

"Most of my papers get read by maybe 200 people in my field. A two-minute video that I've personally reviewed could reach thousands of students. That's the whole point of doing research."
