Agentic systems are causing quite a stir across various industries, notably in the realm of agentic research. This groundbreaking technology is streamlining the research process, making it more efficient and less time-consuming. Imagine having AI agents that can complete tasks in minutes that would take us mere mortals hours, or even days, to accomplish. It's like having a team of supercharged researchers at your fingertips, ready to delve into mountains of data at a moment's notice. Take, for instance, STORM, a multi-agentic system developed by the brainiacs at Stanford University, capable of churning out a Wikipedia page with annotations in mere minutes.
Research, as we know it today, is all about seeking answers to questions - simple or complex. From the basic factual queries to the intricate legal analyses, the research process involves defining objectives, making plans, gathering data, refining insights, and generating answers. And this is where agentic research steps in, with AI agents in multi-agent systems replicating the intricate processes of human investigation. These systems define objectives, break them down into manageable steps, gather data, refine insights, and ultimately provide answers - just like a human researcher would. It's a fascinating blend of human intellect and artificial intelligence working in harmony.
For data scientists, developers, and researchers looking to dip their toes into the waters of agentic research, there are plenty of open-source multi-agent frameworks available. These frameworks offer a glimpse into the future of research, where humans collaborate with AI to enhance their capabilities. The key here is augmentation, not replacement. By delegating repetitive research tasks to AI systems, researchers can free up valuable time for more creative and strategic pursuits. The future of research is not about humans versus AI but humans working alongside AI, leveraging the strengths of both to push the boundaries of innovation and decision-making.
