Multi-AI Research Workflow Cookbook

A comprehensive guide to implementing collaborative AI research workflows

GPT-3.5/4 Gemini Grok-3 Claude

Workflow Overview

This cookbook outlines how to implement a collaborative AI research workflow that leverages multiple AI services in sequence to:

  • Generate novel research ideas
  • Identify and correct errors
  • Provide deep conceptual critique
  • Produce formal academic papers

The workflow is designed to mimic the scientific research process, with each AI service playing a specific role in the development of rigorous academic work.

Idea Generation

GPT-3.5/4 generates initial research ideas and iteratively refines them

Error Finding

Gemini identifies technical errors and provides constructive feedback

Deep Critique

Grok-3 analyzes fundamental flaws and suggests new directions

Paper Drafting

Claude structures the research into a formal academic paper with LaTeX

  "choices": [
    {
      "message": {
        "content": "1. Persistent homology in optimization landscapes...\n2. Sheaf-theoretic distributed optimization...\n..."
      }
    }
  ]
}

Gemini (Google)

Purpose:

Critique and identify issues in the research idea.

Sample cURL Command:

curl -X POST \ https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-pro:generateContent \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "contents": [ { "parts": [ { "text": "Review this approach for errors: [insert detailed research idea here]" } ] } ] }'

Sample Input:

"Review this approach for errors: Using sheaf cohomology for optimization on manifolds..."

Sample Output:

{
  "candidates": [
    {
      "content": {
        "parts": [
          {
            "text": "1. Conceptual error: optimization trajectories may not form global sections...\n2. Mathematical inconsistency: definition of obstruction cocycle is incomplete..."
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Grok-3 (xAI)

Purpose:

Identify fundamental flaws and suggest new directions.

Sample cURL Command:

curl -X POST \ https://api.grok.x/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GROK_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "Find fundamental errors in this approach: [detailed report]"} ], "model": "grok-3" }'

Sample Input:

"Find fundamental errors in this approach: Consensus report on sheaf cohomology for optimization..."

Sample Output:

{
  "choices": [
    {
      "message": {
        "content": "Primary error: obstruction classes are discrete, not continuous. Suggest using discrete Morse theory instead."
      }
    }
  ]
}

Claude (Anthropic)

Purpose:

Outline and draft a formal academic paper.

Sample cURL Command:

curl -X POST \ https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \ -H "x-api-key: YOUR_CLAUDE_API_KEY" \ -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "claude-3-7-sonnet", "max_tokens": 4000, "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "Outline a math paper for this consensus report: [final report]"} ] }'

Sample Input:

"Outline a math paper for this consensus report: Discrete Morse theory for non-convex optimization..."

Sample Output:

{
  "content": [
    {
      "text": "# Outline\n1. Introduction\n2. Preliminaries\n3. Framework\n..."
    }
  ]
}

Workflow Visualization

1. Idea Generation & Development

GPT-3.5/4 generates initial research ideas and iteratively refines them based on feedback.

Output: Research ideas

2. Error Finding & Feedback

Gemini reviews the ideas for technical errors, inconsistencies, and potential improvements.

Output: Error report

3. Deep Critique & Redirection

Grok-3 analyzes the research approach for fundamental conceptual flaws and suggests alternative directions.

Output: Conceptual critique

4. Paper Outline & LaTeX Drafting

Claude structures the refined research into a formal academic paper outline and generates LaTeX content.

Output: Paper draft

Iteration is key: The workflow often requires multiple passes between GPT and Gemini until the research ideas converge to a stable, error-free state before proceeding to Grok-3 for deeper analysis.

Implementation Notes

Authentication

Each API requires secure key/token management. Consider using environment variables or a secrets management service.

Error Handling

Implement robust error handling for API failures, timeouts, and rate limits with appropriate retry mechanisms.

Session Management

Maintain conversational context for each step; store intermediate outputs for traceability and debugging.

Data Flow

Clearly map outputs from one service as inputs to the next, ensuring data fidelity and context preservation between stages.

Iteration Process

Allow for iterative feedback loops between GPT and Gemini until convergence is achieved. This may involve:

  • Multiple rounds of error identification and correction
  • Tracking changes between iterations
  • Implementing convergence criteria (e.g., no new errors found in last 2 iterations)

Consensus Formation

Aggregate feedback from Gemini and Grok-3, synthesize into a consensus report before finalizing with Claude:

  1. Collect all error reports and critiques
  2. Identify overlapping concerns
  3. Resolve conflicting suggestions
  4. Produce a unified improvement plan
  5. Generate final research statement

Output Management

Store and version all outputs, especially the final LaTeX document produced by Claude. Consider:

Database storage for structured data

File storage for LaTeX documents

Version control integration

UI/UX Considerations

Workflow Visualization

Multi-Stage Workflow Visualization

Use a stepper or flowchart UI to clearly show progress through each stage of the workflow.

Color-code each stage to match the associated AI service

Show completion status and current stage

Allow navigation between completed stages

Input/Output Panels

Dedicated Panels for Each Service

Each AI service should have clearly demarcated input and output areas.

Distinguish user prompts from AI responses visually

Provide syntax highlighting for code and LaTeX

Include copy buttons for easy content reuse

Interactive Elements

Feedback Loop Controls

Provide buttons for "Send to Next Stage", "Revise", "Accept Feedback", and "Restart Step" to support iterative refinement.

History & Traceability

Allow users to view and compare previous iterations, feedback, and revisions at each stage.

Consensus Building

Offer tools to aggregate, highlight, and edit feedback from multiple models before moving forward.

Include Gemini feedback
Include Grok-3 critique
