An AI chatbot agent, designed to assist researchers and enthusiasts accessing and interacting with thearXiv paper archive.

The goal is to make the process of literature exploration more efficient and facilitate discussions across multiple papers, as well as with peers. Built withLangchain,discord.py, GPT-3.5 usingOpenAI API.

• Querying Papers
  • Ask questions about specific papers, arXiv-Chat will respond with appropriately cited responses.
• Paper Summaries
  • Summarize papers concisely, highlighting the main argument and conclusions. There are 3 variations: {laymans, keypoints, comprehensive} which are chosen based on preference and the level of detail required.
• Generate Questions
  • arXiv Chat can generate a set of research questions that provide alternative perspectives and valuable insights. Throw these questions back at the AI to further your aid your exploration and understanding of the paper's important take aways.
• Engaging Discussion
  • You can start discussions involving multiple papers. When answering comparative questions, the contents of each paper will be polled.
• Citations
  • If you want to explore further, you can ask for a paper's citations.
• Paper Recommendation/Search
  • arXiv-Chat may recommend specific papers based on your discussion. It can also simply search with a query.

• As an autonomous agent, it can decompose user prompts into several tasks, removing the need to specifically name tasks to be carried out. See OpenAI'sFunction Calling API.

• git Repository Loader
  • The ability to clone in-paper git repo links, allowing their code to be part of the agent's accessible knowledge base. Could assist in understanding the implementation of a paper with code.
