AI Turns Any Document Into a Talking Expert

Scientists have built a new AI tool that turns ordinary documents into interactive "agents." These agents can answer questions and work together on complex tasks. The tool, called Paper2Agent, reads a research paper or report and converts it into a working AI system. Users can then ask it questions in plain language. Unlike a standard chatbot, each agent understands the specific content of its source document. It can also team up with other agents to solve problems that require knowledge from multiple papers. Researchers say this could help scientists, doctors, and analysts find answers faster. Instead of reading hundreds of pages, they can simply ask. The team behind the tool believes it marks a shift in how people use AI. Documents will no longer sit still. They will respond, explain, and collaborate. A "chatbot" is a computer program designed to hold a conversation with people. An "agent" is a software tool that can take actions and complete tasks on its own.
