Welcome to PaperStack!

What is PaperStack?

PaperStack is a multi-agent AI pipeline designed for automated document generation. It showcases how specialized AI agents can collaborate to create structured, domain-specific writing, such as research papers, technical reports, and formal documents.

This project is an experiment in automation rather than an attempt to replace human-quality academic work or create writing that subverts AI detection. It offers a transparent and modular approach to observing and refining AI-generated structured content. All outputs are fully AI-generated and not attributable to any individual or entity.

How It Works

1. User Input

The user provides a topic, and the AI pipeline systematically progresses through a sequence of tasks to generate, refine, and format the document.

2. AI Pipeline Overview

PaperStack follows a structured multi-agent workflow to ensure systematic content generation:

• Task-Specific System Prompts:
  Each AI agent is assigned a specialized role with structured prompts tailored to its function, ensuring focused execution at every stage.

• Strict Formatting Guidelines for Outputs (JSON):
  All output content adheres to standardized JSON formatting, maintaining consistency and ensuring compatibility for further processing.

• Dual-Layer JSON Validation:
  Generated JSON responses undergo automated validation to check for structural and syntactical correctness. If parsing fails, a JSON-fixing agent corrects errors until a valid response is achieved.

• Drafting and Paragraph-Level Revisions:
  The system first drafts the document and then performs paragraph-by-paragraph revisions to enhance clarity, coherence, and logical flow.

• Section Scanning and Coherence Revisions:
  Each section undergoes analysis for coherence and redundancy. A separate AI agent ensures logical consistency and minimizes repetition.

• Attribution Scanning and Citation Insertion:
  The system scans for statements requiring attribution and inserts citations in a structured format.

• Abstract Generation:
  A summarization step creates a concise abstract that distills the core arguments and conclusions of the document.

• Formatting for Printing:
  The final document is structured for readability and prepared for output in a format suitable for review.

Future Plans

Enhancements and Additional Features:

• Expanded user input options, including:

  • Additional context for AI guidance
  • Support for various fields of study
  • User-defined key points, arguments, and hypotheses
  • Methodology, data, and result inputs
  • Specific works for reference
  • Citation style preferences
  • Inclusion of discussion
  • Customizable writing styles (academic, accessible, narrative)

• Refining the Attribution Scanner:

  • Integration with citation databases like Google Scholar and field-specific OAI-PMH repositories for citation validation.

• Specialized AI Models:

  • Fine-tuned models for editing, revision, in-text attribution, and citation insertion.

• Web UI Development:

  • Migration to a web-based interface for improved user experience.

Getting Started

Step 1: Get Your API Key

PaperStack requires a Together AI API Key to generate content using the Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo-free model.

1. Visit Together AI and sign up or log in.
2. Navigate to API Keys in your account settings.
3. Click Generate New Key, then copy it.

Step 2: Store Your API Key in Google Colab

1. In the left sidebar menu, click the key icon.
2. Click "Add a new secret".
3. In the "Name" field, enter:
   TogetherAPI
4. In the "Value" field, paste your API key.
5. Toggle "Notebook access" to ON.

API Key Security Measures:

• API keys are never displayed in outputs or stored in the notebook.
• If the notebook is copied, shared, or downloaded, API keys do not transfer.
• Once stored using Colab Secrets, API credentials remain accessible within the notebook without requiring re-entry.

For more details, refer to: How to Use Secrets in Google Colab.

Step 3: Initialize

1. Press the play button in the upper left corner of this cell to install Together and import necessary libraries.

Step 4: Generate the Paper

1. Enter the topic or title of the document.
2. Press the play button to initiate document generation.
   • Processing time: 8-12 minutes.
   • Note: Be patient as the system works through the AI pipeline.
