Feynman is an open-source AI research assistant that provides both CLI and web-based workbench interfaces for scientific research workflows. Built on the Pi coding agent runtime, it integrates with numerous scientific databases (PubChem, ChEMBL, UniProt, etc.) and provides a skill-based system for extending functionality with specialized research tools. The system manages research sessions, artifacts, and computational workflows while maintaining provenance tracking and versioning. It features a React-based web interface for interactive work with scientific data, artifact previews, and computational job management, alongside a CLI for terminal-based research tasks.
This repository is a comprehensive plugin and skill set for Claude Code (and compatible CLI assistants like Codex CLI and OpenCode), designed to transform the AI into a semi-automated research assistant for academic and software development workflows. It is not a standalone application but a configuration package that installs skills, commands, agents, hooks, and rules into the user's Claude environment. The architecture follows a skill-based pattern: each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md entry point, references, examples, and optional scripts, all consumed by the AI at runtime. The repository covers the full research lifecycle—ideation, literature review (via Zotero MCP and arXiv APIs), experiment analysis, ML paper writing with conference-specific LaTeX templates (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, AAAI), reviewer response drafting, publication chart creation, and post-acceptance promotion. It also integrates deeply with Obsidian for project knowledge management and includes a meta-toolchain for developing and QA-ing skills themselves. While primarily an application configuration, it contains substantial research-oriented content (Kaggle competition analyses, citation verification workflows, writing pattern references), making it a hybrid tool that bridges software engineering and data science research. The codebase is actively maintained, well-documented, and demonstrates strong craftsmanship in its script utilities and hook infrastructure.
CoexistAI is a research assistant framework implemented as a FastAPI application that provides a suite of API endpoints for web search, YouTube and Reddit retrieval, geospatial mapping, git repository analysis, text-to-speech/podcast generation, and knowledge base creation from local files or crawled websites. It integrates with an MCP server for agentic workflows and supports pluggable LLMs (Google, OpenAI, Ollama, local) and embedders (Google, HuggingFace, Infinity). The architecture is monolithic with modular utility functions, containerized via Docker with a companion SearxNG instance for privacy-respecting search. The codebase demonstrates a hybrid nature: while primarily an application with explicit API entry points, its core purpose is to support research and data-gathering tasks, making it equally relevant for data research scenarios. Configuration is centralized, and the system includes a web-based admin UI for runtime parameter changes. Active development is evident from recent commits and numerous utility modules, though some global mutable state and fallback-heavy code indicate where the system has evolved rapidly.
KEA Research is a full-stack multi-provider AI research chat application. The backend is a FastAPI service backed by SQLite/SQLAlchemy, exposing chat, admin, health, user, and TTS endpoints. The frontend is an Astro + TypeScript single-page app that stores chat history and pipeline data in IndexedDB, with a Bootstrap-based UI. Deployment is containerized via Docker Compose with nginx handling TLS and SSE-friendly proxying. The core product logic is a four-step research pipeline: initial multi-provider responses, Mixture-of-Agents refinement, peer evaluation, and a final KEA synthesis with facts, consensus, flagged claims, rankings, and confidence scores. A web admin panel manages providers, models, provider sets, users, and app settings, while the frontend supports research layers, bookmarks, notes, drafts, export, attachment ingestion, and text-to-speech via a Kokoro ONNX model.
