PocketPod (YC W24)

Do you wish you had more time to read the latest research papers? Or find it hard to get through other long PDF reports? With PocketPod (YC W24), I can turn any arXiv or other public PDF link into a short podcast style audio conversation I actually want to listen to. I normally do this for 2-4 reports throughout the day, put them in a custom playlist and then listen on my way home from the office! Bonus -> We also offer a ELI5 mode for when you share something you really have no background knowledge of and want it explained in the simplest terms possible. Check out an example
