Overview
EurekaClaw is an open-source, local-first multi-agent AI research assistant designed to capture fleeting "Eureka" moments and transform them into concrete research outputs. From a simple natural language question or idea, it autonomously handles the full research pipeline: literature review via arXiv scraping, hypothesis generation, theorem formulation and proving, LaTeX paper drafting, and even experiment execution.
Built with a focus on privacy and control, EurekaClaw runs entirely on your local machine without relying on external cloud services for core operations.
Key Features
- Autonomous Research Pipeline: Starts from a research question and progresses to a full paper draft.
- arXiv Integration: Real-time scraping and analysis of recent papers in relevant fields (e.g., cs.LG, math).
- Theorem Generation & Proving: AI agents draft and prove mathematical theorems with supporting reasoning.
- LaTeX Output: Generates publication-ready LaTeX documents and saves results locally.
- Multi-Agent Architecture: Specialized agents for crawling, hypothesis, proving, writing, and experimentation.
- CLI & Chat Interface: Use via terminal commands (
eurekaclaw prove ...) or interactive chat. - Local-First Design: All processing happens on-device; supports local LLMs.
- Open Source: Available under Apache 2.0 license on GitHub.
Installation

Usage Examples
# Generate and prove a theorem from a research idea
eurekaclaw prove "Find recent papers on sparse attention + prove efficiency bound"
# Start interactive research session
eurekaclaw chat
The tool crawls literature, drafts theorems, completes proofs, and saves a LaTeX paper to ./results/.
Use Cases
- Academic Researchers: Accelerate literature reviews and initial paper drafting.
- Mathematicians & Theorists: Rapid theorem exploration and proof assistance.
- AI/ML Engineers: Hypothesis testing and experiment automation.
- Students: Learning tool for understanding research processes.
- Independent Innovators: Capturing and developing spontaneous ideas into structured outputs.
Architecture
EurekaClaw employs a multi-agent system where specialized agents collaborate:
- Literature Crawler
- Hypothesis Generator
- Theorem Prover
- Paper Writer (LaTeX specialist)
- Experiment Runner
It learns from each session to improve future performance.
