Viral Open-Source Tool Uses LLMs for Deep Recursive Auto-Research
natesiggard · x · 2026-07-31
A developer shared a highly praised open-source project that leverages LLMs for automated research and deep recursive optimization. It can be widely applied to scenarios like personal budgeting, job applications, local mapping, and clearing personal info off the web.
The project's workflow is remarkably simple:
- Define Goals: Use a Program.md file to detail what you want to optimize, set constraints, and define the output format for each turn.
- Data Preparation: A Prepare.py script cleans up data and enforces the experiment's directory structure.
- Execution: Point the script at a specific target (like an email inbox or app load time), and the model will automatically loop through optimization strategies. The author notes their life has improved infinitely after using this tool for months.
