About CoreIdeas

Hours of expert conversation, distilled into the one idea worth remembering.

The best thinking of scientists and experts is often buried in hour-long podcasts, in a language you may not speak. CoreIdeas finds the one idea in each conversation that changes how you see the world and explains it in a five-minute article. Every piece names the expert, quotes them, and links to the original episode. Many of our sources are Russian-language science podcasts, so the articles are translated; every article is written by AI, checked against the source, and approved by a person before it is published.

Our Mission

A great idea shouldn’t be locked inside three hours of audio or a language you don’t speak. We want the boldest thinking of scientists and experts to reach anyone who is curious: in their own language, in the expert’s own words, and always with a way back to the source.

How CoreIdeas works

Every article on CoreIdeas is written by artificial intelligence from a podcast or talk, which is linked at the end of the article. Other AI models check the facts against the source automatically, and a person reads and approves every article before it is published. Versions in other languages are translated by AI, and the editor reads them too.

Every illustration on the site is generated by AI. It shows the idea of the story, not a photo of a real event.

Automated checks miss things. If you find a mistake, write to us and we will correct it.
