- **GIS Copilot (Akinboyewa et al., 2024)**: A framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) into existing Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms, exemplified by QGIS, to autonomously generate spatial analysis workflows and code, thereby enabling users to perform spatial analyses through natural language commands.

- **Agon (Sun et al., 2026)**: Treats prompt engineering as an engineering discipline, minimizing human time while expecting maximum output across the full research loop. Carries the smallest prompt footprint among cross-disciplinary autoresearch systems (18 roles, 230.6 KiB total) and has run across 10+ scientific fields without modification. [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.24177) [Code](https://github.com/AutoResearch-Factory/Agon)

- **AutoNumerics (Du et al., 2026)**: Takes a PDE problem stated in plain text and produces a working numerical solver end-to-end, choosing the right discretization scheme (Fourier spectral, Chebyshev, etc.) based on the equation's structure. Geometric mean nRMSE on CodePDE is 9e-9, about six orders of magnitude below neural baselines. [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.17607) [Code](https://github.com/Daviddjddu/Autonumerics)

### Task-Specific Agents
- **VirSci (Su et al., 2024)**: A large language model-based multi-agent system that emulates collaborative scientific research to enhance the generation of novel and impactful scientific ideas.

- **Morris (2023)**: The paper examines scientists' views on how generative AI could enhance various aspects of their work, including research, education, and communication, while also addressing potential concerns.


- **Sun et al. (2026)**: Maps 56 autonomous research systems onto seven axes (loop topology, verifier gate scope, orchestration mode, portfolio parallelism, artifact substrate, disciplinary coverage, lifecycle coverage). The main finding: most systems can generate research artifacts, but almost none gate publication on verified correctness.
