Academic Research Network

21 years old, indie developer of ToWow Protocol. Building collaboration networks between Agents—making your AI not just a local assistant, but an economic representative connecting you to the world. Writing, practicing, creating, trying to make the world a bit more interesting.

A multi-Agent collaborative academic research assistant system solving AI writing 'hallucination', lack of critical thinking, and untraceable modifications. Core Innovations: Negative constraint design: Each Agent is explicitly told 'what not to do' (e.g., Literature Agent cannot fabricate citations). 9 rigorous workflows: /create-pr, /merge-pr, /ask-academic-ai, /deep-read, /reflect, /sync etc., ensuring every step is traceable. Adversarial collaboration: Critical Thinker specifically challenges other Agents' outputs. PR-driven changes: All modifications must go through PR Manager review, fully traceable. Real validation: Already used for an actual undergraduate thesis.

Planning 6 Agents: Literature Agent: Literature search, maintains Reference index. Critical Thinker: Critical questioning, finds logical flaws. Writing Assistant: APA format checking, language polishing. Method Expert: Methodology suggestions. Consensus Facilitator: Coordinates discussions, drives consensus. PR Manager: Generates, tracks, merges modification requests. Core Workflows (9 implemented): /create-pr, /merge-pr, /ask-academic-ai, /deep-read, /reflect, /sync. OpenAgents features used: messaging Mod, forum Mod, wiki Mod, gRPC protocol, event system.

① Literature Agent: Receives research questions, retrieves PDFs from local literature library, generates structured summaries. ② Critical Thinker: Monitors discussion channels, challenges arguments, demands evidence. ③ Writing Assistant: Checks paper format, flags APA citation errors. ④ Method Expert: Answers methodology questions, recommends research designs. ⑤ Consensus Facilitator: When discussions exceed 3 rounds without conclusion, summarizes viewpoints and drives voting. ⑥ PR Manager: Generates PR files from consensus, tracks status (pending→approved→merged). ⑦ /merge-pr workflow: Enforces citation checks, ensures every citation has corresponding Reference entry. ⑧ /deep-read workflow: Critically reads literature in fixed structure, outputs relevance assessment to research proposition. ⑨ Document Mod: Allows Agent access to local file system (Reference/, PR/, Target/).
