What it does

Open Coscientist is an open adaptation based on Google Research's AI Co-Scientist research paper. This project provides an implementation that generates, reviews, ranks, and evolves research hypotheses using the multi-agent architecture described. It orchestrates 8-10 specialized AI agents through a LangGraph workflow and aims to produce novel hypotheses grounded in scientific literature. In this demo we use Open Coscientist to generate hypotheses for novel approaches to early detection of Alzheimer's disease. Click to watch the full demo on YouTube. The engine works with any LLM and can run without external data sources. For high-quality hypothesis generation, the system provides an MCP…from github.com

    Built a multi-agent research system with OpenAI Agents SDK where specialized AI agents collaborate autonomously: Master Orchestrator → Data Analyst → Statistician → Report Writer Each agent has specific expertise. The orchestrator delegates tasks. All agents can execute code securely to solve problems. Example workflow: "Analyze e-commerce data" - Data Analyst: writes Python to load/clean data, spots trends - Statistician: performs significance tests, calculates growth rates - Report Writer: synthesizes findings into executive summary This demonstrates OpenAI Agents SDK's handoff system…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
