Feynman
Feynman is an AI-powered research agent that discovers, analyzes, and synthesizes scientific literature.
Feynman is an open source AI research agent that helps you discover, analyze, and synthesize scientific literature. It reads papers, searches the web, writes research drafts, plans experiments, and cites research claims. Built on Pi and alphaXiv, research claims link directly to their sources. You can run it as slash commands in the REPL or execute workflows from your shell using curl, PowerShell, or npm. It is designed for researchers and scientists who need an automated assistant to handle literature reviews and experiment planning. Companion created the software.
