What problem does it solve?

This tool helps users build actionable prerequisite learning paths before reading an academic paper, ensuring they anchor evidence, rank concepts by difficulty, and identify relevant resources upfront.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Concept extraction and organization: extract key concepts and map them to paper sections.
• Evidence anchors: attach short quotes as anchors for each concept.
• Learning path generation: order concepts by foundation → bridge → paper-specific.
• Resource recommendations: suggest papers and videos for each must-learn concept.
• Use Case: a student uses an arXiv ID to generate a personalized study plan before diving into the paper.

Quick Start

Provide an arXiv ID, link, or PDF and your language preference to generate a learning path.
