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 🙏
