MimWise: Lecture Slide Explainer

Stuck at a particular PDF page?

What it does

Most study AI dumps a wall of chat text when you upload slides. With MimWise: just upload your lecture PDF, jump to the page you don't get and stream a in-depth guided lesson tied to that slide: voice narration, anime/diagrams and fun practice (AI comedians host quiz) Built for university students (especially STEM), exam-week "one slide won't click" moments and learners who need more than text. Not a generic chatbot: slide-native, page-by-page teaching Try the free demo: no sign-up required!

    I'm a teacher and built an AI presentation tool2025 · ▲260

    Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
