FULL NAME
Co-Scientist - A Multi-Agent AI System for Accelerating Scientific Discovery
DESCRIPTION
Co-Scientist is a multi-agent AI system built on Gemini for structured scientific thinking and hypothesis generation. It aims to help scientists discover new original knowledge by formulating demonstrably novel research hypotheses for experimental validation, conditioned on research objectives and prior scientific evidence.

ABSTRACT
Scientific discovery is driven by scientists generating novel hypotheses for complex problems that undergo rigorous experimental validation. To augment this process, we introduce Co-Scientist, a multi-agent AI system built on Gemini for structured scientific thinking and hypothesis generation. Co-Scientist aims to help scientists discover new original knowledge. Conditioned on their research objectives and prior scientific evidence, it formulates demonstrably novel research hypotheses for experimental validation.
