Scientific knowledge is mostly stored in static papers. An automated framework called Paper2Agent can now transform each paper into an active artificial intelligence agent — a virtual corresponding author that answers questions, applies the paper’s methods to new data, and collaborates with other paper agents. This makes research easier to reproduce, reuse and extend.
