Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm a researcher who got tired of opening 10 papers and finding only 1 was actually relevant. The existing tools gave me generic summaries—I wanted context, significance, and a tool that truly understands Chinese academic papers. So I built TL;DR Scholar—upload a PDF, paste text, or snap a photo, and the AI extracts the one sentence that actually matters. No signup required. Three things I'm genuinely proud of: 🇨🇳 Native Chinese & English paper support 🧠 Summaries include "why this matters," not just "what they did" 🎭 Reviewer-style critique modes (coming soon!) I'd love your honest feedback—especially on the summary quality. Drop a paper title below and I'll run it through the tool live. Ask me anything!
