AI-Researcher

AI-Researcher is an open-source system designed to automate complex research tasks end-to-end using large language models and structured workflows, aiming to replicate parts of a human research assistant’s capabilities. It lets users input high-level research goals or questions in natural language and then automatically plans, decomposes, and executes tasks such as literature surveying, summarization, synthesis, experiment design, and draft generation. The system integrates retrieval mechanisms to pull in external knowledge sources, contextually analyze documents and papers, and build structured representations of ideas and arguments that can later be turned into coherent reports or drafts. Rather than simply generating text from prompts, AI-Researcher orchestrates sequences of subtasks — such as extracting definitions, identifying key experiments, and tracking citations — and uses self-refinement loops to iteratively improve outputs.
