Create your own custom 2 host conversational AI podcast show and interrupt the show anytime to ask questions in real time, taking context from uploaded doc and web. The Future of learning and reading docs is Interactive: Meet the First Custom 2-Host AI Show You Can Interrupt. Unlike traditional text-to-speech apps, PaperPod doesn’t just read documents aloud. It creates conversational explanations that are easier to follow, more engaging, and better for retention.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Pushkal, the maker of PaperPod. The idea started from a very personal frustration: I had tons of research papers, PDFs, technical docs, and long-form content bookmarked… but never enough time or energy to sit and read everything. Traditional text-to-speech tools felt robotic and boring. So I built PaperPod — an AI system that turns documents into natural podcast-style conversations between two hosts, where you can also ask follow-up questions while listening. Instead of: 📄 “reading a document” It feels like: 🎙️ “listening to a smart podcast about the document” A few things I’m especially excited about: • Two-host conversational narration instead of robotic reading • Real-time Q&A on the document while listening • Designed for commuting, gym, multitasking, and passive learning • Works with PDFs, notes, research papers, docs, etc. This is still early, and I would genuinely love feedback from the Product Hunt community ❤️ A few things I’d love to know: 1. Would you actually use something like this regularly? 2. What type of content would you convert first? 3. What would make this a must-have product for you? Thanks so much for checking out PaperPod 🙏
