A documented research assistant plans questions, searches web/scholarly or supplied-document sources, writes source-linked reports and keeps claims for user acceptance or dispute.
L3Multi-step tool-using agentic workflow (workflow level, not a quality rating) Source: Repository-documented Outcome: Not empirically evaluated here
Research applicability
Primary README describes scholarly retrieval and thesis/genealogy examples, enabling a scoped humanities/literature research-use classification without claiming evaluated outcomes.
Getting started
Untested editorial guidance: read the pinned README and its linked workflow/limitations guides, inspect dependencies and data handling, then plan a small isolated public/synthetic-document trial. Check every claim against its source before reuse. No trial was executed for this review.
Maintenance
Current commit/README saved2026-10-19; ongoing support or future availability not established.
License
README states Apache2.0; supplied model has separate licence. Licence file and third-party components not audited.
Workflow & human oversight
Scoped documented L3: the user sets a research question and permitted duration; the system plans and retrieves sources, writes reports and checks citations. Users accept, dispute or retire claims. These are documented capabilities, not verified implementation, universal L4 or demonstrated autonomous science.
Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.
Approach
README describes question planning, parallel retrieval, source/quote-backed facts, report generation and citation checks; users determine which claims stand. Overnight or repeated research is an optional documented capability, not evidence of autonomous scientific discovery.
Limitations
Commit-pinned README documentation only; repository code, linked guides, figures, dependencies and claimed tests were not executed/audited. No independent scientific or engineering result verified. Source describes planning, source retrieval/checks and human acceptance as capabilities; citation completeness/source independence and linked model evaluations were not validated. Illustrative thesis/genealogy scenarios are not executed case studies. Local/hosted model choice is not a privacy guarantee; README says reachable service pages are open as shipped until access control is enabled.
Reproducibility
Documentation only; no model inference, provider requests, source-code execution, installation, independent tests or outcome reproduction.
Adoption requirements
README specifiesJava21+ (or bundled runtime), an OpenAI-compatible local/hosted model and a search backend; default fallback covers Wikipedia/Crossref/OpenAlex only. Inspect access controls/provider terms before restricted documents; no installation performed.
