PaperBanana

PaperBanana is an open-source agentic framework designed to automatically generate publication-quality academic diagrams and statistical plots directly from text descriptions. The project focuses on helping researchers, educators, and data scientists transform conceptual descriptions of figures into structured visual outputs suitable for research papers, presentations, and technical reports. Instead of manually designing charts or diagrams using traditional visualization tools, users can describe the desired figure in natural language and allow the system to generate the visual representation automatically. PaperBanana integrates modern multimodal AI models capable of interpreting instructions and producing graphics that follow academic conventions. The framework supports multiple AI providers including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI services, and Google Gemini, allowing users to run the system with different model backends.
