Research2App, the research-to-build shortlist
A Japanese service that ranks new papers and linked implementations by how readily they can become an app.
Field notes
Research2App combines paper discovery with implementation triage rather than treating publication abstracts as the endpoint. Its stated inputs include arXiv and Hugging Face arrivals, linked code, models, demos, reproducibility, and separate licenses for papers, code, models, and data. The homepage shows a CPU-only speech-transcription example with 40-language coverage and an MIT label. The service says its top five receive Claude Code instructions, while AI is excluded from ranking decisions.
