Git-backed research workspace for human-agent teams

Keep the whole research team, every tool, and every agent in one working context.

ResearchBuddy turns a research project into a shared workspace that humans can use in the browser and agents can use after cloning the repo.

01

Humans and agents work from the same context.

Project docs, module Skills, contacts, timelines, and writing rules are shared by the whole team instead of being scattered across chats.

02

It fits the workflow you already use.

Google Drive, Outlook, Overleaf, Figma, GitHub, and Zotero stay connected and synced so collaborators can keep using familiar tools.

03

Agent-agnostic by design.

ResearchBuddy uses plain folders, docs, Skills, and git-style history, so different agents can clone the same workspace and work locally.

How to use it

A clear loop for people, tools, and agents.

The browser gives humans an organized workspace. The repository gives agents a concrete file system contract. Sync keeps existing tools useful.

01

Create a research project

Add papers, docs, meetings, writing projects, codebooks, prototype links, and image assets.

02

Attach docs and Skills

Give every module its own instructions so teammates and agents know the local rules before acting.

03

Sync to real tools

Publish human-friendly views to Drive, keep Zotero and Overleaf close, and link Figma or GitHub where the work already lives.

04

Let agents work locally

Any compatible agent clones the workspace, edits normal files, follows module conventions, and pushes back for review.

Git as the substrate

The canonical state is a repo, not a hidden app database. Changes can be reviewed, pushed, pulled, and recovered.

Human-friendly sync

Docs can sync into Google Drive, citations stay close to Zotero, and writing can keep Overleaf links without forcing people into a new editor.

Module-level rules

Skills and docs sit beside the work they govern, so every section can explain its own conventions to humans and agents.
