AI Research Intelligence + Scientific Agents

ScientificLoop tracks AI agents, AI for Science, scientific workflow automation, and model infrastructure, then turns the strongest signals into cited notes and small public-safe prototypes.

Scan

Track AI research signals

Collect updates from selected AI labs, AI for Science startups, research feeds, and technical blogs.

Filter

Map signals to scientific workflows

Separate general model news from signals relevant to agents, RAG, evaluation, simulations, robotic labs, and scientific decision support.

Build

Turn strong signals into prototypes

Use small demos and notebooks to test whether a pattern can help scientific navigation, formulation, evidence review, or workflow automation.

Publish

Write cited working notes

Convert useful findings into public-safe posts with source links, open questions, and a ScientificLoop angle.

Daily workflow

AI research radar → post → prototype

The publishing workflow starts with automated source collection, then adds human judgment: why the signal matters, how it affects scientific agents, and whether it suggests a ScientificLoop demo.

npm run daily:radar
npm run new:post -- --title "Scientific agent workflow note"

More tools and experiments live on github.com/rockyzl — primarily personal Claude Code skills, RAG / agent prototypes, and research scripts. They are not productized and not listed here.
