# arXivisual

> Transforms arXiv papers into interactive explanations with 3Blue1Brown-style Manim animations.

arXivisual is a web tool that converts complex academic papers from arXiv into digestible visual explanations and video animations. It uses AI agents to break down the text, formulate explanations, and render mathematical animations via Manim. You can access visual versions immediately by swapping 'arxiv.org' with 'arxivisual.org' in any paper URL.

Website: https://arxivisual.org/

## What it is for

- Understand complex machine learning and math research papers faster
- Generate 3Blue1Brown-style animated visual aids for academic concepts
- Review technical papers through interactive scrollytelling instead of dense PDF text

## Features

- URL-shortcut access by changing arxiv.org to arxivisual.org
- Interactive scrollytelling presentation for academic research
- AI-generated mathematical motion graphics powered by Manim
- Paper search and direct arXiv ID or URL input
- Multi-agent AI pipeline for paper parsing and visual explanation design
