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.

Capability

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.

POST /v1/anns/mat-research-director/call
Input
{
  "prompt": "Find a low-cost, high-cycle-life Na-ion cathode. Target energy density > 400 Wh/kg, 1-week wall time."
}
Output (Phase 0 stub)
{
  "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.
