Paper2Any – Open tool to generate editable PPTs from research papers
Hi HN, We are the OpenDCAI group from Peking University. We built Paper2Any, an open-source tool designed to automate the "Paper to Slides" workflow based on our DataFlow-Agent framework. The Problem: Writing papers is hard, but creating professional architecture diagrams and slides (PPTs) is often more tedious. Most AI tools just generate static images (PNGs) that are impossible to tweak for final publication. The Solution: Paper2Any takes a PDF, text, or sketch as input, understands the research logic, and generates fully editable PPTX (PowerPoint) files and SVGs. We prioritize flexibility…
Paper2Any – Open tool to generate editable PPTs from research papers launched on December 18, 2025 with 13 votes, #712 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Paper2Any is an open-source tool from Peking University that converts research papers into editable PowerPoint presentations and SVG diagrams. It accepts PDFs, text, or sketches as input and generates fully editable PPTX files rather than static images. The tool uses a DataFlow-Agent framework to understand research logic and allows users to specify page ranges, adjust visual styles, and preserve original assets. It is designed for researchers who need to create presentation slides from academic papers efficiently.

Synthesize, score, and refine agent trajectories — high-quality training data for tool-using LLMs. Agentic-exploration operators for DataFlow : drive an LLM agent through a pluggable sandbox to produce the task → [thought → tool call → observation]* → answer data used to train and evaluate agentic models. Most sandboxes only collect trajectories.

Open Paper2025 · openpaper.ai · ▲289Hi HN! Open Paper allows you to annotate and understand your research papers with an AI copilot. I wanted a paper-reading assistant that let met actually dig into papers in-place while benefiting from AI tooling. When it comes to studying, I'm not a fan of the typical chat interfaces that obfuscate uploaded files and turn them into black box 'content'. Hence, I've implemented a split-pane view. To mitigate the risk of hallucinations, all AI responses come with grounded citations that refer back to the source material in-flow. Some feature highlights: - Actually read your papers in one place…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
