Research tools and resources
Tools and resources for research work, such as finding and reviewing papers. This page lists 14 research tools and resources; the latest additions are NiubiGEO, TradingAgents and Orkas. Open any project to see what it lets you do, what its creator says you need and its original source.
Projects to explore
- NiubiGEO Check how AI models describe your brand and competitors
Enter a domain to see how AI models describe your product and which competitors they name.
- OpenResearch Point a coding agent at research and keep every experiment
A local workspace that turns coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or Cursor into research assistants: reviewing literature, proposing a hypothesis, changing code, launching an experiment and deciding what to try next.
- financial-services Add finance-industry agents and skills to your Claude workspace
This is a collection of reference agents, skills and data connectors built for financial-services work — investment banking, equity research, private equity and wealth management — that plug into Claude as Cowork plugins or run through Anthropic's Managed Agents API.
- scientific-agent-skills teach your AI agent 177 lab and research workflows
Add ready-made science skills so your AI agent can run genomics, chemistry or data analysis tasks properly.
- vphone-cli Boot a virtual iPhone on an Apple Silicon Mac for research
A command-line tool that boots a virtual iPhone on an Apple Silicon Mac using Apple’s own Virtualization framework together with the infrastructure Apple built for Private Cloud Compute research.
- Open Notebook Chat with, search and make podcasts from research
Collect PDFs, videos and web pages, then search, chat and make podcasts from them.
- Ghidra Take a compiled program apart and read what it does
Open a compiled program for Windows, macOS or Linux and read a reconstructed version of its code to work out what it does.
- Orkas Hand goals to a desktop team of AI agents
Give Orkas a goal and its AI agents plan, research, write and build the work on your computer.
- Agent-Reach Let your AI assistant read Reddit, YouTube and X for you
Let your AI assistant read web pages, YouTube subtitles, GitHub repositories, RSS feeds and, with your own logins, posts on X, Reddit and Xiaohongshu.
- Flowsint Map an investigation as a graph of people, accounts and links
An open-source tool for open-source intelligence work: you build up an investigation as a visual graph, adding entities and the relationships between them, and extending it with your own collectors as you go.
- oh-my-hermes Add planning and evidence rules on top of the Hermes agent
An operating layer installed on top of Hermes Agent, the open agent from Nous Research.
- TradingAgents Simulate a trading firm's AI team analyzing a stock
Have a team of AI agents research a stock and debate a trading decision.
- reverse-skill Point your AI assistant at the right reverse-engineering playbook
A skill router pack for AI coding assistants that encounter reverse-engineering tasks: an APK, a binary, encrypted frontend JavaScript, a CTF challenge, or a penetration-testing target.
- MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B A smaller 9B agent model distilled from a larger Xiaomi model
MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B is a 9-billion-parameter model made by fine-tuning Qwen3.5-9B on data generated by Xiaomi's larger MiMo-V2.6 models, a technique called distillation where a smaller model is trained to imitate a bigger one's outputs rather than being trained on raw internet text from scratch.
