The Agentic Scientist
The Agentic Scientist is a public, installable tool that orchestrates coding agents through scientific idea generation, experiments, evaluation, and paper writing. It runs a multi-phase pipeline from a task directory and supports several agent CLIs and models.
What it does
Researchers can use it to automate parts of scientific experimentation and generate a paper from a task description.
