Material Research Director
Plan a material discovery workflow from a research question.
by Aigarth Research
Plan a material discovery workflow from a research question. Decomposes 'find a battery cathode with 400 Wh/kg' into a literature pass, a generative design pass, a DFT refinement pass, and a Pareto sort. Coordinates the other 7 material science ANNs in the workflow.
Deploy is a Phase 0 stub. Real per-stage cost, MLIP surrogate, and on-chain attribution ship in Phase 2.
What it does
One sentence. The capability the ANN exposes, and the one thing it does really well.
Decompose a material research question into a 4–8 stage plan with cost estimates.

Try it
A realistic example input. The output you see on this page is from a Phase 0 stub backend. The format, latency, and cost are real, the data is illustrative.

"prompt": "Find a low-cost, high-cycle-life Na-ion cathode. Target energy density > 400 Wh/kg, 1-week wall time."
}{
"capability": "Decompose a material research question into a 4–8 stage plan with cost estimates.",
"status": "ok"
}Real engine integration ships in Phase 2. The wire format here is what the real response will look like.

Version history
Every revision is a separate ANN with its own benchmarks. The current version is what's served by default.
| Version | Date | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| v1.0.0 | Aug 2, 2026 | current | Initial release (Phase 0 stub backend). |
| v0.9.0 | Jul 24, 2026 | beta | Internal preview. Used for 1,000-paper ingestion benchmark. |
| v0.5.0 | Jul 12, 2026 | deprecated | First preview. Performance baseline. |
Real version history wired in Phase 1. For now, this is a static manifest.
