GPT Researcher
Run autonomous deep research over web and local sources
Deep Research
An AI-powered research assistant that performs iterative, deep research on any topic by combining search engines, web scraping, and large language models. The goal of this repo is to provide the simplest implementation of a deep research agent - e.g. an agent that can refine its research direction overtime and deep dive into a topic.
Overview
Tools to scrape publications & their metadata from pubmed, arxiv, medrxiv, biorxiv and chemrxiv.
Imported by the skill-only GitHub discovery pipeline because it matches agent skill, automation, domain workflow, RAG, document-processing, data, finance, security, or developer-tool signals. Protocol-server projects are excluded from automated imports.
