RESEARCH QUEST v1.0

Your AI research team,
ready to collaborate.

Lumi is an open-source research manager where AI agents scout papers, generate hypotheses, design experiments, and write documentation — all from a pixel-art command center.

 LUMI RESEARCH HQ

Everything you need to manage research

From literature surveys to paper writing, Lumi provides a complete pipeline with AI agents that do the heavy lifting.

🏢

Pixel Office

Interactive canvas where your AI agents walk around, work at desks, and attend meetings. Watch your team in action.

🤖

7 Specialist Agents

Scout, Theorist, Architect, Coder, Data Smith, Documenter, and Commander — each with deep expertise powered by Claude.

💬

Team Meetings

Multi-agent discussions where agents debate topics in rounds. Select participants, set an agenda, watch them collaborate.

🔮

Oracle Command Center

Natural language control over your entire project. Run agents, start meetings, manage entities, and get strategic advice.

📋

Pipeline Tracking

7-stage research pipeline from survey through writing. Track tasks, assign agents, monitor progress at every phase.

📝

Notion Sync

Automatic documentation to Notion. Agent progress, meeting summaries, and project state — all synced with descriptive sub-pages.

Meet your AI research team

Each agent is a specialist powered by Claude CLI. They analyze your project context and return structured insights. Create custom agents for any role you need.

Command your research with natural language

The Oracle is your AI command center. It has full control over agents, entities, meetings, and documentation. Just describe what you want — it takes action.

  • Run any specialist agent on demand
  • Start multi-agent meetings on any topic
  • Create and update hypotheses, experiments, datasets
  • Check pipeline status and get strategic recommendations
  • Sync everything to Notion automatically
  • Analyze project state and suggest next steps

Run a literature survey on physics-informed neural networks

✓ SCOUT RUNNING
Have theorist and architect discuss our approach
> Starting meeting with Theorist and Architect on "research approach discussion" (1 round)
✓ MEETING STARTED
What should we focus on next?
> 3 untested hypotheses need experiments. The "attention-gated physics prior" hypothesis looks most promising — I'd suggest running the Architect to design an experiment for it.

Up and running in 2 minutes
