"An Agent a Day" Series Kicks Off With a Weekly Report Agent for Scientists
nlarusstone · x · 2026-10-20
nlarusstone launched a 30-day series — "An agent a day keeps Phase 2 failures away" — offering a science agent any researcher can set up instantly each day. Day 1: a Weekly Report Agent that automates scientific status updates.
The idea: scientists constantly communicate progress (lab meetings, boss updates, partner briefings), so let an agent retrieve data, check notebook entries and biological entities/sequences created, and auto-generate a slide-deck weekly report. A tweakable sample prompt is included.
It's a hands-on agent tutorial series for research workflows, with 29 more days to come.
