Awesome Automated Research **A curated list of autonomous research systems and tools.** *40 projects · 8 categories · End-to-end AI scientists · Experiment loops · Research co-pilots · Skill packs · Paper tools · Benchmarks* English | 中文 --- What Is This? AI can now carry out research autonomously — from generating ideas and running experiments to writing full papers. This repository tracks the open-source ecosystem making that happen. | Without these tools | With these tools | |---|---| | You spend weeks reading literature | AI reads 500 papers in 10 minutes | | You manually iterate on experiments | AI runs overnight loops: tweak → run → score → keep or revert | | You write papers from scratch | AI generates camera-ready LaTeX drafts with figures | | You review your own blind spots | AI self-reviews, cross-checks, and iterates | > **40 projects** tracked as of 2026-03-22. --- Quick Guide | If you want to... | Start here | | --- | --- | | Fully automate idea → paper | End-to-End AI Scientists | | Optimize code metrics overnight | Experiment Optimization Loops | | Get an AI research co-pilot | Research Co-pilots & Interactive Agents | | Set up a research workspace | Research Workspaces | | Add research skills to your agent | Skill & Workflow Packs | | Search papers or make figures | Literature Search, Citation & Paper Tools | | Go deep in bio/med | Vertical Domain Agents | | Evaluate AI research quality | Benchmarks & Evaluation | Contents • People To Follow • Project Type Overview • Category Tables • Events & Conferences • X News & Trends • Related Lists • Contributing --- People To Follow 戴眼镜的小胖 dr-claw 小红书 · 9.1K 万万万水吟 ARIS 小红书 · 7.9K Huaxiu Yao MetaClaw 小红书 · 4.2K 日行迹Analemma FARS official 小红书 · 3K 刘思源 ThesisAgent owner 小红书 · 2K 孙天祥 FARS / Analemma 小红书 · 1千+ Intern Science DrClaw 小红书 谷昊昊 PaperClaw 小红书 Andrej Karpathy autoresearch 𝕏 · 1.98M David Ha AI-Scientist 𝕏 · 392K Sakana AI AI-Scientist series 𝕏 · 63K K-Dense-AI claude-scientific-skills 𝕏 · 2.3K davebcn87 pi-autoresearch 𝕏 · 1.1K Jiaqi Liu AutoResearchClaw 𝕏 --- Project Type Overview | Category | Count | Representative Repos | | --- | ---: | --- | | End-to-End AI Scientists | 8 | AI-Scientist, AutoResearchClaw, InternAgent, NanoResearch | | Experiment Optimization Loops | 5 | autoresearch, pi-autoresearch, codex-autoresearch | | Research Co-pilots & Interactive Agents | 3 | EvoScientist, Amadeus, ScienceClaw | | Research Workspaces | 3 | dr-claw, Research-Claw, DrClaw | | Skill & Workflow Packs | 8 | claude-scientific-skills, AI-Research-SKILLs, ARIS, uditgoenka/autoresearch | | Literature Search, Citation & Paper Tools | 5 | paper-search-mcp, PaperBanana, CitationClaw | | Vertical Domain Agents | 2 | MedgeClaw, BioClaw | | Benchmarks & Evaluation | 2 | ResearchClawBench, paperreview.ai | --- Category Tables Interface: ![CLI][i-cli] terminal tool · ![Skill][i-skill] agent plugin / skill pack · ![Web][i-web] browser · ![ChatOps][i-chatops] messaging · ![MCP][i-mcp] MCP server · ![Runtime][i-runtime] background daemon · ![OC][i-oc] OpenClaw End-to-End AI Scientists Fully autonomous pipelines that carry the research loop from idea or literature all the way to paper-like output without requiring human steering at each stage. | Project | Stars | Description | Interface | LLM | Update Recency | | --- | ---: | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AI-Scientist | 12.5K | First open-source system to autonomously generate ideas, run experiments, and write research papers | ![CLI][i-cli] | ![Claude][cl] ![GPT][gpt] ![Gemini][gem] ![DeepSeek][ds] ![Open-weight][ow] | last 1 year | | AutoResearchClaw | 7.5K | Give it a research idea, get back a complete paper with figures and peer review | ![CLI][i-cli] ![ChatOps][i-chatops] | ![Claude][cl] ![GPT][gpt] ![Gemini][gem] ![DeepSeek][ds] | last 1 week | | AI-Scientist-v2 | 2.3K | Next-gen AI Scientist that explores research directions via tree search without needing templates | ![CLI][i-cli] | ![Claude][cl] ![GPT][gpt] ![Gemini][gem] | last 1 year | | InternAgent | 1.2K | Unified long-horizon scientist framework that links deep research, executable verification, and memory-driven evolution across algorithm and empirical discovery | ![CLI][i-cli] ![Web][i-web] | ![GPT][gpt] ![DeepSeek][ds] ![InternS1][is1] | last 1 week | | SibylSystem | 185 | Give it a topic, it runs 19 stages to produce a conference-style paper and self-improves across runs | ![CLI][i-cli] ![Skill][i-skill] ![Web][i-web] | ![Claude][cl] ![GPT][gpt] | last 1 week | | NanoResearch | 160 | 9-stage pipeline that runs real GPU/SLURM experiments, analyzes results, and writes LaTeX papers with grounded evidence | ![CLI][i-cli] ![Skill][i-skill] ![ChatOps][i-chatops] | ![Claude][cl] ![GPT][gpt] ![DeepSeek][ds] ![Gemini][gem] | last 1 week | | FARS | — | Public Analemma deployment of a multi-agent system that runs ideation, planning, experiments, and short-paper writing at scale | ![Web][i-web] | ![Any][any] | last 1 month | | Kosmos | 471 | Autonomous discovery engine that tests hypotheses in sandboxed containers and tracks findings in a knowledge graph | ![CLI][i-cli] | ![Claude][cl] ![GPT][gpt] ![LiteLLM][ll] | last 3 month | --- Experiment Optimization Loops Tight modify-run-score-keep/discard loops.
