Research paper explainer

Create a research-focused explainer from a local PDF.

Last updated September 2026

Choose a local PDF

Choose Research paper on the dashboard and select a local PDF. This starts a project using the research-explainer profile.

Preset behavior

Research-explainer projects begin with narration enabled and background music and sound effects disabled. You can continue refining the work in Studio.

Focus the story

Tell the agent who the audience is and which contribution, result, or figure matters most. This is especially helpful for dense papers with several experiments or tables.
