Research, explained on film.
Explain a Paper turns academic papers, white papers and reports into short, narrated, captioned explainer films, so the work reaches people outside its field.
We are building it for university research-communications teams and the researchers they support. To hear when it opens, or to talk about a paper you would like explained, email [email protected].

AI helps; people decide what the film says.
You approve every script
A language model helps draft a script from your paper, and nothing is rendered until you have reviewed and approved it. For extra assurance, one of our editors can check the script against the paper and sign it off.
Drawn, not generated
The pictures are drawn in code, frame by frame, rather than produced by an image or video model. Text, diagrams and labels stay legible and say what they are meant to.
An honest, synthetic voice
Narration is read by an openly licensed voice model that runs on our own machines, and we say so. Every film comes with captions and a transcript.
