About Explainpaper

Explainpaper helps with reading academic papers. You upload a paper, highlight a confusing word or passage, and a large language model returns a simpler explanation. You can also ask questions about the paper as you read.

It is used by researchers and students working through dense material, particularly in machine learning, who want jargon explained without leaving the document. It runs in the browser, and a free way to try it is offered.
