ResearchBunny

Start by turning your reading pile into an audio queue you’ll actually finish. Drop in PDFs, Word docs, or LaTeX files, or paste a DOI/URL to fetch the paper. Choose a voice, target length (5, 10, or 20 minutes), and focus areas—abstract only, methods, results, or discussion. ResearchBunny processes the files and delivers short audio briefings, typically ready in a day or two. While you wait, search the public catalog to add existing episodes to your queue. Organize everything with tags like “exam week,” “grant background,” or “lab meeting,” then set delivery times so new summaries land before your commute or morning run.

When you listen, treat each episode like a working session. Chapters map to sections of the article, so you can jump straight to results or limitations. Tap to bookmark a timestamp, auto-capture the transcript snippet, and export notes to Notion, Obsidian, or Google Docs. Ask a follow-up question at any point—“compare this to Smith 2022,” “clarify the model assumptions,” or “explain the equation in plain language”—and get an in-episode reply with citations. Need to review figures? Open the companion slide view that extracts tables and visuals. Quick-access widgets on the home screen let you resume the last episode, upload a new file, or see pending answers without digging through menus.

Teaching or running a study group? Create a course feed, drop in weekly readings, and let students pick the audio length that matches their schedule. Insert short checks (one-click polls or 2–3 quiz items) to confirm understanding. Content analytics show completion rates, replayed segments, and common questions, helping you refine future assignments or flag tricky passages. Share a curated playlist per module—intro episodes before lecture, deeper dives after. For accessibility, enable transcripts with key terms highlighted, translation to multiple languages, and variable playback speeds.

For professionals, it’s a hands-free literature sweep. Product managers queue market research, analysts track new preprints, and engineers review methods while coding. Set up topic alerts (e.g., “retrieval-augmented generation” or “long-COVID biomarkers”) to receive a weekly digest. Export citations to your reference manager and schedule summaries to drop before standups. If you publish, upload your own paper to generate an author channel with shareable links. Measure reach with playthrough rates, drop-off points, and question volume; tune future summaries based on what listeners re-listen to. Control visibility with private teams, NDA-safe uploading, and auto-redaction of author lists or affiliations if needed. Whether you’re walking the dog, rewiring a syllabus, or prepping a briefing, ResearchBunny turns dense literature into an actionable listening workflow.
