ANECDOTE

Lazy Engineer Automates Research

  • David Shapiro automated the summarization of multiple scientific papers to handle the deluge of research efficiently.
  • He used a lazy-engineer approach, building tools once to ease continuous workload repeatedly.
INSIGHT

Efficient Paper Compression

  • Feeding paper texts into a language model compresses content by at least 5 to 1, simplifying complex research.
  • This enables quicker understanding without intensive reading while maintaining core ideas.
ADVICE

Customize & Automate Summaries

  • Customize your AI questions to focus summarization on domain-specific research needs.
  • Automate batch processing of papers by downloading PDFs into a folder and running scripts for scalable insights.
