The Daily Repo

federicodeponte / opendraft

The open-source agent system that writes research papers with verified citations. Every citation checked against Crossref, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar.

Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does

Pages from a real OpenDraft sample draft: title page, table of contents, introduction, results and a DOI-linked reference list

What it does

OpenDraft drafts research papers, literature reviews and thesis chapters from one topic, and keeps a citation only if at least two of Crossref, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar hold its DOI. An open-source alternative to Jenni and ThesisAI: MIT licensed, runs on your own model key.
