The 5 minute demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYcQf-Yq8B0) is compelling. Among other features, it shows generation of a glossary of "nonce" words (paper specific terms) and equation diagrams (mouseover the equations to see the terms defined in place). The available implementation does not appear to have all that in it yet.

This is great! I can see this saving me a lot of hours of hunting down the citations.

For other people in the academic research field, I would recommend Scite(https://scite.ai) which provides similar functionality.

This is really cool. I can see it being extremely useful for reviewing. The numerical citation style of CS papers has always been a pain point for me.

This is so cool! I've been wanting something like this since I started reading papers!
