Know more,
faster.
An AI reads the day's papers, explains the few that matter to you, and narrates them into briefs you finish on the walk to work — plus the newsletters and podcasts you follow.
Not another summarizer.
Plenty of tools turn text into speech. Abstractok is built to be the one feed you actually keep open — because of three things most of them get wrong.
Explained, not read aloud
An LLM rewrites each paper into a spoken explainer: the hook, the intuition, why it matters. Not a robot reading the abstract.
Finite, not infinite
It plays the handful that matter, then says you're caught up. No bottomless feed engineered to keep you scrolling at 1am.
Steer it by talking
Say "more diffusion models, less crypto." The queue re-ranks live. No filters, no settings, no algorithm to fight.
A thousand papers a day.
The five that are yours.
You follow the arXiv categories, authors and keywords you care about. Abstractok reads every new paper and explains it in your ears — so you hear what's worth your time, and open the original in one tap when it is. It isn't a replacement for reading papers. It's how you find the ones worth reading.
Follow your fields
Add the arXiv categories, authors and keywords you care about. No algorithmic strangers, just your shelf.
Hear it. If it matters, read it.
An LLM explains each paper in a few minutes — the hook, the result, why it matters. When one is worth your time, the original is one tap away.
Steer in plain words
Say what you want and the feed re-ranks live. No settings, no sliders, just a sentence.
Papers are just the start.
Add the newsletters and podcasts you already follow. Abstractok narrates them into the same finite, steerable stream — your entire reading list, finally listened to.
A feed that ends.
Imagine that.
Most apps are bottomless on purpose. Abstractok plays through what is new from your sources, then tells you you're done — so you close it and get on with your day.
No doomscroll, no slot machineMade for your ears.
Scrub, skip back to the part you missed, and run it up to 2×. Eyes-free the whole way — a synced transcript is there when you want to read along. A morning's papers, done before your stop.
Scrub, skip-back, up to 2×, EN & 中文A research radio station,
