• Abstract: ResearchPilot is an open-source, self-hostable multi-agent system for literature-review assistance. Given a natural-language research question, it retrieves papers from Semantic Scholar and arXiv, extracts structured findings from paper abstracts, synthesizes cross-paper patterns, and drafts a citation-aware related-work section. The system combines FastAPI, Next.js, DSPy, SQLite, and Qdrant in a local-first architecture that supports bring-your-own-key model access and remote-or-local embeddings. This paper describes the system design, typed agent interfaces, persistence and history-search mechanisms, and the engineering tradeoffs involved in building a transparent research assistant. Rather than claiming algorithmic novelty, we present ResearchPilot as a systems contribution and evaluate it through automated tests and end-to-end local runs. We discuss limitations including external API rate limits, abstract-only extraction, incomplete corpus coverage, and the lack of citation verification.
