Hey Product Hunt đź‘‹
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 🙏
