Research Brief Agent

A Python library for an AI agent that generates concise research briefs from web searches using LangChain, Anthropic's Claude, and Tavily search.

Overview

The ResearchBriefAgent automates the process of researching a topic and producing a structured brief, including key points and sources. Built with LangChain's ecosystem, it leverages Anthropic's Claude model for reasoning and Tavily for web search, with SQLite-backed memory for context persistence.

Features

• Topic-Based Research: Generate briefs on any topic with a single function call.
• Structured Output: Receive formatted briefs with key points and cited sources.
• Memory Persistence: Retain conversation context across queries using SQLite checkpointing.
• Extensible: Built on LangChain, allowing integration with additional tools and models.

Installation

Install the library via PyPI:

pip install researchbriefagent

Usage

from researchbriefagent import ResearchBriefAgent
agent = ResearchBriefAgent(anthropic_api_key="your_anthropic_api_key", tavily_api_key="your_tavily_api_key")
brief = agent.generate_brief("Impact of renewable energy on climate change")
print(brief)

Example Output:

Research Brief: Impact of renewable energy on climate change

Key Points

• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels.
• Solar and wind power adoption has surged globally.
• Critical for limiting warming to 1.5°C.
