Co-Scientist: A multi-agent AI partner to accelerate research

Google DeepMind · 3 months ago · 11

Google DeepMind released Co-Scientist, a multi-agent AI system built with Gemini that generates, debates, and refines scientific hypotheses across life sciences and other fields. The system uses six specialized agents plus a supervisor to iteratively explore research directions through cycles of idea generation, peer-review-style critique, and hypothesis refinement, with the majority of computation dedicated to verifying claims against scientific literature and databases. Researchers can register to access Co-Scientist through a new tool called Hypothesis Generation, with rollout beginning in the coming weeks and enterprise access via Google Cloud planned for expansion.
