A research team from Stanford University has released Paper2Agent, a framework that automatically converts scientific papers into interactive AI agents. The system, introduced in a recent paper, aims to make research methods more accessible by transforming traditional publications into dynamic entities that can execute analyses, reproduce results, and respond to new scientific queries through natural language interaction. Paper2Agent builds on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard that allows large language models to connect with external tools and datasets.
Marimo notebooks provide an innovative approach to interactivity in coding, featuring sandboxing for environment management and enabling reproducibility in sharing notebooks.
