AI tool turns any research paper into an 'agent' that can collaborate and answer complex queries
Nature reports on an AI tool that converts any research paper into an interactive 'agent' able to collaborate and answer complex queries about the work. The approach points toward papers functioning as living interfaces rather than static documents. Details of the tool's architecture and availability are not included in the available excerpt.

SciForge: A multimodal AI workbench for scientific discovery
Researchers present SciForge, an AI-native workbench that integrates papers, code, datasets, and model outputs into a coherent, auditable research state. It reserves the graphical interface for human judgment while modular agent-accessible services handle search, parsing, model routing, workflow execution, plotting, writing, and presentation generation.

Paper2Agent converts research papers into runnable AI agents
A Nature paper by Jiacheng Miao, James Zou and co-authors introduces Paper2Agent, an automated framework that converts research papers into AI agents by packaging each paper's code, data and methods into a Model Context Protocol server a chat assistant can call. Case studies on AlphaGenome and 100 computational biology papers show high accuracy and low cost, though roughly a quarter of papers fail conversion. The authors propose journals add an 'agent availability' clause.
