AI Frontier Explorer - Track, read, and report on cutting-edge AI research using DeepSeek + LangChain

AI Frontier Explorer 🧠🔍

Track cutting-edge AI research, deep-read papers, and generate plain-language reports — powered by DeepSeek + LangChain.

✨ Features

• 📡 Track — Search arXiv for the latest papers on any AI topic
• 📖 Deep Read — Fetch full paper content via web scraping
• 🤖 Parallel Sub-agents — Delegate paper analysis to sub-agents for concurrent reading
• 📝 Structured Reports — Auto-generate reports with: summary, key points, plain-language explanation, glossary, impact score
• 💾 Persistent Memory — Remembers your preferences across conversations
• 🎯 Skills System — Built-in AI research methodology

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• API Keys: DeepSeek + LangSmith

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/your-username/ai-frontier-explorer
cd ai-frontier-explorer
python -m venv .venv

# Windows
.venv\Scripts\activate

# macOS / Linux
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure

Create .env file. On Windows PowerShell, use Set-Content so the file encoding is explicit:

"DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your_deepseek_key" | Set-Content -Encoding utf8 .env

The CLI also accepts UTF-16 .env files produced by Windows PowerShell 5. Full example:

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your_deepseek_key
DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL=https://api.deepseek.com
DEEPSEEK_MODEL=deepseek-v4-flash

LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=lsv2_pt_your_langsmith_key
LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=ai-frontier-explorer

3. Launch

# One-click (Windows)
start.bat

# Or manually
python ai_frontier.py
