Autonomous Intelligence Network — Research & Knowledge Compilation Engine

---

ain-research is the core orchestration engine powering the Autonomous Intelligence Network (AIN) — a self-organizing research system that autonomously ingests scientific literature, detects contradictions between knowledge nodes, and evolves credibility scores for every research concept it tracks.

Built on top of LLMs, it guides, automates, and orchestrates open-ended domain research across 115+ arXiv categories spanning Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance, Economics, and Electrical Engineering.

Installation

Recommended: uv

uv tool install ain-research

This installs the ain, ain-research, and ain-mcp commands globally.

Alternative: pip

pip install ain-research

Note: Ensure your Python Scripts folder is in your system PATH to use the ain command.

Development Install

git clone https://github.com/That-Tech-Geek/ain-research.git
cd ain-research
pip install -e .

Quick Start

1. Configure Workspace

By default, ain-research uses ~/.ain/ as the workspace root. Override with:

export AIN_WORKSPACE=/path/to/custom/workspace

2. Setup Firebase Authentication (Optional)

ain auth setup --cred-file /path/to/firebase-adminsdk.json

3. Check User Access

ain auth check --email user@example.com

4. Set Crawl Schedule

ain schedule --start "09:00" --end "21:00"

5. List Available Topics

ain topics              # List all 115+ topics
ain topics --count      # Show domain breakdown
ain search "quantum"    # Fuzzy search topics

6. Start the Daemon

ain-research            # Start the ingestion daemon
ain-research --force    # Run outside active time window

7. Add to Queue

ain queue add --arxiv 2305.14314    # Queue specific paper
ain queue list                      # View pending items

8. Compile the Vault

ain compile

9. Launch the UI

ain ui --port 8000

Python API

Authentication

from ain_research.auth import check_library_access, require_library_access, authenticate_user

# Check access
result = check_library_access("user@example.com")
if result["allowed"]:
    print("Access granted")

# Boolean check
if authenticate_user("user@example.com"):
    proceed()

# Decorator
@require_library_access
def my_function(email):
    # Only runs if user has library=True
    pass

Topic Search

from ain_research.config import fuzzy_search_topics, get_topic_list

# Fuzzy search
results = fuzzy_search_topics("quantum", threshold=0.3)
for name, score, data in results:
    print(f"{name}: {score:.0%} - {data['query']}")

# Get all topics
topics = get_topic_list()

Configuration

from ain_research.config import (
    get_arxiv_categories,
    save_arxiv_categories,
    get_schedule,
    save_schedule
)

# Get all categories
categories = get_arxiv_categories()

# Add custom category
categories["MyTopic"] = {
    "query": "cat:cs.AI",
    "tags": ["ai", "custom"]
}
save_arxiv_categories(categories)

# Update schedule
save_schedule("09:00", "21:00")
