A durable, human-gated auto-research pipeline

Name a target journal, and pose a research question or leave it to the pipeline. It reviews the scholarly literature with live search, proposes testable ideas and pauses for you to choose one; it then analyses a real, public dataset in an isolated sandbox, interprets the results, drafts a manuscript to that journal's conventions, reviews it, and pauses again for your sign-off. Every stage is checkpointed, and a run may wait at a gate for as long as you like.

How it works

You set two things: the target journal or conference, and — optionally — the question. Leave the question blank and the pipeline proposes one that venue would want, answerable with a dataset it can actually obtain. The six stages below then run on their own, each checkpointed, pausing only at the two gates.

  1. 01

    Literature review

    A grounded search of the scholarly record — journals, proceedings and preprints — distilled into key papers, methods in use and open gaps, with every source kept.

  2. 02

    IdeationHuman gate

    Ranked candidate studies, each with a falsifiable hypothesis, a named real dataset and a concrete test plan. The run pauses here for you to choose one.

  3. 03

    Experimentation

    The chosen dataset is downloaded, checksum-verified and placed in a fresh sandbox VM with a loader. The model writes a Python analysis, which runs under a time limit; a failure triggers a repair round.

  4. 04

    Analysis

    An honest results section built only from the numbers the run produced — verdict, key figures, caveats. A refuted hypothesis is reported as refuted.

  5. 05

    Paper writing

    A manuscript written to the target venue's structure and reporting conventions, describing the real data it analysed and citing only retrieved sources.

  6. 06

    ReviewHuman gate

    A referee report against the venue's standards: 1–5 scores, weaknesses and required changes. The run pauses for your sign-off; sending it back rewrites the paper and re-reviews it.

Example research by discipline

One complete study per discipline, each analysing a real public dataset and written to the conventions of the field's leading journal, with every artifact preserved: sources, ideas, executed code, results, manuscript and referee report.

Live runs call the model API on your behalf, so they are behind a PIN. The PIN identifies your account, which carries a run allowance set by the administrator; the archived runs remain open to everyone.
