Coordinate multi-agent AI research sessions with structured scientific methodology.
Brenner Bot is a research orchestration platform inspired by Nobel laureate Sydney Brenner's scientific methodology. It coordinates multi-agent AI research sessions with systematic problem formulation and rigorous constraint-based reasoning.
The system combines a curated corpus of 236 transcript sections with multi-model AI syntheses from Claude, GPT, and Gemini to enable collaborative scientific research conversations.
236 sections with §n citations
Claude, GPT, Gemini syntheses
Always includes third alternative
Searchable verbatim primitives
Brenner Bot emphasizes rigorous scientific reasoning with these principles.
Clear statement of what you're trying to understand
Experiments that distinguish hypotheses
Always consider "both hypotheses are wrong"
What data rules out, not just suggests

Launch multi-agent research workflows.
Sessions produce structured artifacts:
Brenner Bot integrates with other flywheel tools.
Research sessions use Agent Mail for durable threads between agents. Each agent has an inbox/outbox with acknowledgment tracking.
NTM spawns parallel agent sessions for research. Use NTM to manage the tmux layout while Brenner coordinates the research flow.
Research session history is indexed by CASS. Search past sessions to build on previous research findings.
The web app at brennerbot.org provides additional features.
