EI Signal Stories transforms complex research papers into engaging, easy-to-understand stories using AI. We help researchers, educators, and communicators make academic content accessible to any audience.

BYOAI means you provide your own API keys from AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or Ollama. This gives you control over costs and model selection, and ensures your content is processed directly by your chosen provider.

We support OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus), and Ollama for local AI. Each provider has different strengths - Claude excels at nuanced storytelling, GPT-4 is versatile, and Ollama offers privacy.

For OpenAI: Visit platform.openai.com and create an API key. For Anthropic: Visit console.anthropic.com. For Ollama: Install Ollama locally from ollama.ai - no API key needed.

Free users can paste text directly. Pro and Premium users can also upload PDFs (up to 10MB), fetch papers from ArXiv using paper IDs, import from URLs, and resolve DOIs automatically.

Short (500-800 words): Quick summaries for busy readers. Medium (1000-1500 words): Balanced depth for general audiences. Long (2000-3000 words): Comprehensive narratives for detailed understanding.
