AI Researcher – Autonomous Investigation Assistant
The AI Researcher is an innovative web application that empowers users to explore complex topics through autonomous AI-driven investigations. By decomposing intricate queries—such as "The future of work being disrupted by AI"—into testable hypotheses, it launches specialized agents to gather insights and synthesizes everything into a comprehensive, downloadable PDF report. This tool democratizes advanced research, making it accessible for professionals, students, and curious minds without requiring manual data aggregation.
🚀 Tech Stack
- Frontend: React.js + Vite
- Backend: FastAPI (Python)
- AI Reasoning: Deepseek Reasoner API
- Report Generation: Custom PDF service
- Deployment: Self-hosted (open-source ready)
🎨 UI/UX Overview
- Striking dark-mode "terminal" aesthetic with high-contrast whites and greens for a futuristic, immersive feel
- Real-time live dashboard streaming agent progress, objectives, and reasoning steps for transparent, engaging user experience
- Minimalist layout emphasizing readability: central query input, dynamic agent panels, and intuitive "Start Research" CTA
- Responsive design ensures seamless interaction across devices, with subtle animations for loading states and completions
- Focus on cognitive flow—users watch the AI "think" autonomously, building trust through visibility
🔐 Functional Highlights
- Query Decomposition: Orchestrator intelligently breaks down user inputs into parallel hypotheses for efficient exploration
- Agent Autonomy: Multiple agents (e.g., AGENT 0, 1, 2) independently investigate using Deepseek's advanced reasoning, handling routine tasks while highlighting uniquely human elements like creativity
- Live Streaming: Real-time updates visualize completions, objectives, and evolving insights, turning research into a dynamic narrative
- Synthesis & Export: Aggregates findings into a polished PDF report, complete with structured sections on goals, features, and implications
- Scalability Decisions: Modular architecture separates concerns for easy extension; prioritizes ethical AI use by focusing on augmentation over full automation
