Getting Started
Create your first interactive explorable in just a few minutes.
Quick Start
Sign Up
Create a free account to save and manage your explorables.
Upload or Describe
Upload a research PDF, paste an ArXiv link, or describe your concept.
Generate
Watch as AI transforms your input into an interactive experience.
Explore & Share
Interact with your explorable and share it with others.
Ways to Create Explorables
You can create explorables using several different methods:
Text Description
Simply describe what you want to visualize or explain. The AI will generate an interactive web application based on your description.
“Create an interactive visualization of gradient descent showing how learning rate affects convergence. Include adjustable parameters and real-time graphs.”
ArXiv Paper Link
Paste a link to any ArXiv paper and the AI will analyze it and create an interactive explorable that brings the research to life.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.07067PDF Upload
Upload a PDF of any research paper or document. The AI will extract the content and transform it into an interactive experience.
Supported formats: PDF
Example Walkthrough
Let's create an interactive visualization of neural network training:
1. Go to the Create Page
Navigate to /create or click the “Start Creating” button on the homepage.
2. Enter Your Prompt
Type a description of what you want to create:
Build an interactive neural network visualization that shows:
- The architecture of a simple feedforward network
- Forward propagation with animated data flow
- How weights affect the output
- Adjustable number of layers and neurons3. Watch the AI Generate
The AI will stream the generated code in real-time. You can see the React components, visualizations, and interactivity being created.
4. Interact and Refine
Once generated, your explorable runs in a sandboxed preview. You can interact with it and send follow-up messages to refine or add features.
