Setup snapshot

  1. 1

    Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.

  2. 2

    Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Research Agents

A multi-agent research system built from scratch — no LangChain, no CrewAI. You give it a question, it searches the web, reads the pages, synthesizes the findings, and writes a markdown report. A React dashboard streams every agent action live via WebSocket as it happens.

~725 lines of Python and React. Fully functional. 100% free APIs.

Pipeline Stack LLM


What it does

  1. You type a research question into the dashboard
  2. The OrchestratorAgent uses an LLM to plan 3–5 targeted search queries
  3. The SearchAgent runs them through DuckDuckGo (no API key needed)
  4. The ReaderAgent fetches and extracts content from the top URLs via Jina AI
  5. The AnalyzerAgent synthesizes everything into a structured analysis
  6. The WriterAgent turns that analysis into a polished markdown report, saved to research_outputs/

Every step is visible in real time on the dashboard — you watch agents think, search, read, and write as it happens.

Setup

1. Clone

git clone https://github.com/gkaransail/research-agents.git
cd research-agents

2. Backend

cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create .env in the backend/ directory:

GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_...          # Required — get free at console.groq.com
PRIMARY_MODEL=llama-3.3-70b-versatile
FAST_MODEL=llama-3.1-8b-instant
MAX_SEARCH_RESULTS=8
MAX_READ_URLS=5

Start the server:

uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001 --reload

3. Frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5174


Usage

  1. Open the dashboard at http://localhost:5174
  2. Click New Research and enter any question
  3. Watch the agent timeline update live as each agent works
  4. When complete, click View Report to read the markdown output
  5. Reports are also saved to research_outputs/ as .md files

Adding a new agent

  1. Create backend/agents/my_agent.py:
from agents.base import BaseAgent
from agents.registry import register_agent

@register_agent("my_agent")
class MyAgent(BaseAgent):
    async def run(self, task: dict) -> dict:
        await self.emit("thinking", "Starting...")
        # do work
        await self.emit("completed", "Done!", data={"result": "..."})
        return {"result": "..."}
  1. Add one import in main.py:
import agents.my_agent  # noqa
  1. Wire it into agents/orchestrator.py where it fits in the pipeline.

That's it — the registry discovers it automatically.
