I've been building a tool that turns documents into a two-host podcast you can also ask questions about. A few weeks ago someone trialing it sent me the kind of feedback most people are too polite to give: It uploaded a 70-page magazine but the podcast only really covered ONE article. The Q&A said it "could only see 5 pages" and got answers wrong. Long episodes ended abruptly. All of it was fair. So I actually fixed it instead of getting defensive: Detect multi-article docs (magazines/journals) and cover every article, not just the loudest one. Q&A now reads the whole document instead of 5 keyword-matched snippets. Raised the size limits so real-world magazines go through. Clean, host-led endings even when a long script gets trimmed. He re-uploaded the same magazine, told me it was "a lot more convincing" and that he could see himself catching up on old issues in 30-minute chunks while driving. A few days later he became my first paying customer. Biggest lesson: the person who rips your product apart in detail is worth ten who say "cool, nice." The critique WAS the roadmap. Happy to answer anything about the build (document chunking, Q&A retrieval, length targeting — I went deep on all of it). PS: We still have 12 founding members spots left, offered in just half the actual price. PaperPod   submitted by   /u/ps948 [link]   [comments]
