FAQPage Schema
How do I get a summary of an arXiv paper without reading the full PDF?

Yes, you can retrieve the full text of an arXiv paper for deeper analysis after generating the initial overview. The Skill optionally fetches the complete paper text from alphaxiv.org, allowing you to move from a high-level summary into detailed examination without leaving the workflow.

What input formats work for looking up an arXiv paper overview?

The input formats that work for looking up an arXiv paper overview include a direct arXiv URL, a standalone paper ID, or an alphaxiv overview URL. The system parses any of these inputs to automatically extract the required paper ID before fetching the structured summary.

What is the best way to do a rapid literature review of multiple arXiv papers?

The best way to do a rapid literature review of multiple arXiv papers is to request structured AI-generated overviews for each paper ID sequentially. This approach produces concise, machine-readable summaries in minutes, saving significant time compared to parsing raw PDFs individually.

Do I need a specific alphaxiv URL to use this arXiv paper lookup, or is a paper ID enough?

You do not need a specific alphaxiv URL to use this arXiv paper lookup; a standard paper ID is enough. The system accepts bare arXiv paper IDs, standard arXiv URLs, and alphaxiv overview links, parsing the input to extract the necessary identifier.
