Research Loop

From Idea to Paper, Autonomously

One meta-skill drives four stages — each produces real, inspectable artifacts, not just chat replies.

1

Explore

Turn a broad research direction into concrete topics, hypotheses, and a pre-survey.

2

Survey

Produce a 6–20 page PDF literature review with 60+ real, verified citations.

3

Experiment

Design docs, runnable code, results with provenance, figures, and analysis reports.

4

Write

8–14 page research paper, 200+ citations, 4–8 figures — publication-grade output.

Core Features

Built for Real Research

Every feature designed to accelerate scientific work while keeping you in full control.

🤖

Autonomous Research Agents

The bundled ai4s-agent chains specialist skills end to end — explore, survey, experiment, write — producing inspectable artifacts at every stage.

🔗

Full Provenance Tracking

Every figure, table, and report links back to the exact code, inputs, environment, model output, and conversation that produced it.

🏠

Local-First Architecture

Sessions, data, provenance, notebooks, and run records live in local folders on your machine. Nothing leaves by default.

🔌

Model-Agnostic Runtime

Bring your own model. The runtime talks through a clean SDK layer — providers, skills, and MCP servers stay pluggable.

🔬

Reproducible Runs

Local, SSH/Slurm, Modal, and notebook-batch runs are captured as reproducible run records with full environment snapshots.

📱

Access from Anywhere

A token-authenticated gateway serves the real UI to your phone or LAN browser. Start a run at your desk, check results on the go.

🌐

Browser Control

Drive your own Chrome — profile and logins intact — to read the live web the way you do, or an isolated private browser on demand.

🧩

Highly Extensible

Agent skills, MCP servers, one-click science connectors (arXiv, PubMed, Crossref, Materials Project…), slash commands, and shell mode.

Capabilities

Powerful Research Toolkit

A comprehensive platform that covers the entire scientific workflow.

Multi-Session Workspace

Run multiple research sessions simultaneously with isolated workspaces, shared file system, and full history.

Integrated Notebooks

Real .ipynb files with Python and R kernel execution, managed Jupyter environment, and seamless agent integration.

Rich Viewers

PDF, images, video, HTML, Markdown, CSV/TSV tables with charts, molecules, 3D meshes, genome tracks, and more.

Literature Connectors

One-click access to arXiv, PubMed, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, bioRxiv/medRxiv, and more research databases.

Integrity Auditing

Built-in auditor checks images, numbers, logic, and citations with 4-level evidence grading before publication.

Safety by Default

Command execution, file deletion, dependency install, and remote connections all require explicit human approval.

Architecture

Clean Layered Design

Decoupled layers with a strict SDK boundary — the UI never calls the agent runtime directly.

🖥️
Desktop UI (Tauri + React)
Multi-session chat, file browser, notebooks, run viewer, provenance inspector
SDK Contract
📦
OpenCodeClient SDK
Type-safe wrapper — the only path between UI and runtime
Process Boundary
⚙️
OpenCode Sidecar
Bundled, pinned, auto-started — isolated from user's own config
Security Boundary
🔒
Local Workspace
SQLite + JSONL provenance + OS keychain — keys never in logs, exports, or git
