LangChain AI Scientist V2 leverages large language models and LangChain’s agent framework to assist researchers at every stage of the scientific process. It ingests academic papers for literature reviews, generates novel hypotheses, outlines experimental protocols, drafts lab reports, and produces code for data analysis. Users interact via CLI or notebook, customizing tasks through prompt templates and configuration settings. By orchestrating multi-step reasoning chains, it accelerates discovery, reduces manual workload, and ensures reproducible research outputs.

Virtual Scientists leverages GPT-based language models to create specialized AI Agents that replicate expert scientists across various fields. Each virtual researcher is configured with tailored prompt engineering to provide accurate, context-aware answers, propose experimental protocols, interpret scientific data, and generate insights. Users select a scientific persona, input their questions or project details, and receive detailed, discipline-specific guidance supported by references and reasoning for educational or research purposes. The platform is hosted on GitHub Pages and is fully open-source. The codebase supports easy customization and extension of new scientific personas by modifying JSON configuration files. Ideal for collaborative research, teaching demonstrations, or personal study, Virtual Scientists bridges the gap between AI language models and practical scientific problem-solving by offering a dynamic, interactive environment for exploring complex topics with expert-like guidance.
